Just when you thought Fortnite's collaborations couldn't get any wilder, Springfield has officially landed on the Island. Epic Games just announced a crossover with The Simpsons, bringing Lisa Simpson and the iconic Plopper, better known as Spider-Pig, into the battle royale.
While full details on the bundle are still emerging, the announcement art is telling. It features Lisa Simpson piloting what looks like a custom mech suit, suggesting we're getting a far more combat-ready version of the character than a simple skin. Plopper is also featured prominently, likely as a new Back Bling or Pet. This is one of those pop-culture mashups that feels both completely unexpected and a perfect fit for Fortnite's universe.
Reload Gets Fresh with Modifier Madness
Beyond the new cosmetics, gameplay is getting a shake-up in Fortnite Reload. The 'Modifier Madness' event will run through the end of November, introducing a series of rotating game rules to keep the mode feeling fresh. Each modifier brings a unique twist for a limited time before the next one cycles in.
What is the Modifier Madness schedule?
Here’s the breakdown of when each modifier will be active, giving you a chance to master each ruleset before they all combine for a chaotic finale:
- Oasis: November 15 - November 18
- Slurp Rush: November 18 - November 21
- Venture: November 21 - November 25
- All Modifiers: November 25 - November 29
What Simpsons items are coming to the shop?
The announcement confirms Lisa Simpson and Plopper (Spider-Pig). Based on the promotional art, the Lisa skin appears to feature her in a mech, which would be a unique Outfit design. Plopper is expected to be a Back Bling, though whether he's just cosmetic or has some reactive features remains to be seen. Fans are already speculating if other Springfield residents will follow.
Between a legendary animated family crashing the party and a new event structure for Reload, November is shaping up to be a packed month. Get ready to spend some V-Bucks and adapt your strategy on the fly.
