We already knew that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Fortnite, but this isn't the sole destination where enthusiasts can experience the universe of Springfield. The long-running series is coming over to Rocket League, bringing along an in-game car skin that will also be usable in the Fortnite universe. That said, if gamers will actually want to use it is another question, as there's only one Springfield car everyone is eager to get behind the wheel of, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

Although most players would undoubtedly love to compete while driving The Homer—the notoriously impractical car the patriarch designed personally in the 1991 installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—regrettably, that isn't what players are receiving. We aren't even receiving the Canyonero, the heavy-duty vehicle featured in season 10. Instead, players will obtain the family's standard beat-up sedan, which they've been driving since 1989. Even though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it stands as an recognizable element of the show. And for players who pay attention to the game's car hitboxes, the trusty sedan uses the same hitbox as the Dominus.

Additional Themed Cosmetics

But that's not the sole cosmetic from the series coming to Rocket League. The event will additionally feature a series of objectives to unlock more rewards, all of which are Simpsons-themed. According to a press release, the challenges will task participants to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are The Simpsons seasons, gather boost canisters as if your GPS is set to The Simpsons’ residence, and drive a distance worthy of picking up the perfect donuts!"

Although the complete list of earnable items isn't yet revealed, here is what has been confirmed so far:

• Blinky antenna topper
• Homer's hedge-themed banner
• Garbage-themed wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge

Based on promotional images is a reliable guide, it appears players will also receive wheels featuring a TV showing The Simpsons' title sequence, alien antenna toppers, a frosted doughnut trail, and rocket boosts inspired by burning tires and Krusty Burger.
