We already knew that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Epic Games' battle royale, but that's not the only place where fans can experience the world of Springfield. The long-running series is also making its way to Rocket League, introducing an vehicle customization option that will also be usable in Fortnite. However, if gamers will truly desire to use it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Simpsons car the community is itching to drive, and this isn't it.

The Dream Vehicle

While many players would absolutely enjoy to compete while driving Homer's custom creation—the notoriously impractical car Homer designed personally in the 1991 episode "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. Not even receiving the massive SUV, the enormous truck featured in the tenth season. Instead, players are getting the Simpsons' everyday well-worn four-door, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Though this particular car has seen better days, it remains an recognizable symbol of the series. And for players who pay attention to Rocket League vehicle dimensions, the trusty sedan uses the same hitbox as the Dominus.

Additional Themed Cosmetics

And it's not the only customization item from the series arriving in the game. This limited-time event will additionally feature a set of objectives to unlock additional rewards, all of which are Simpsons-themed. As detailed in a press release, the challenges will task participants to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are The Simpsons years on air, collect boost pickups as if your navigation is set to The Simpsons’ house, and drive a distance worthy of picking up the perfect donuts!"

While the full lineup of challenge rewards hasn't been disclosed, here is what's been announced up to this point:

• Blinky topper
• Homer's Hedges player banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge

If the key art is any indication, it seems players will also receive rims featuring a TV showing the show's opening credits, alien antenna toppers, a sprinkled donut boost trail, and rocket boosts inspired by smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.

Event Timing and Fortnite Connection

The Rocket League collaboration lines up with the extensive The Simpsons takeover of Fortnite, which brings a completely new map of Springfield, in addition to a month-long Battle Pass. This special Rocket League and Simpsons celebration launches on Saturday, Nov. 1 and concludes on Nov. 17.
