Fortnite’s Simpsons takeover is now underway, and so for the next month or so, we’ll be duking it out in Springfield and making use of a number of new Simpsons-themed items to help survive against our foes. But no collab takeover is truly complete without cosmetics, and Fortnite is adding tons of Simpsons skins and accessories both in the item shop and via the new Simpsons battle pass.
The Simpsons pass is a relatively short one, with about 70 tiers of rewards vs the usual 200 in the linear part of the pass–as has been the case with all previous mini-seasons. The Simpsons pass includes five skins–Homer, Marge, Ned Flanders, Blinky Fishstick, and Springfielder Peely–each of which has substantial style options, along with accompanying sets of pickaxes, gliders, emotes, and so on. The new Peely is the bonus skin that’ll become available starting November 11, though he’s not just a Simpsons-looking Fortnite guy–it appears as though he’ll have a Professor Frink alternate style as well.
Befitting a season based on a sitcom, the accessories in the pass are full of mundane items, like a vacuum cleaner pickaxe and a shopping cart glider that has baby Maggie riding in it. And while the pass includes Homer, Marge, and Ned’s classic looks, they also have really distinctive alternate styles, like Homer in a Devil costume, Marge in witch form, and Ned Flanders in his stupid, sexy ski outfit.
Marge is the skin on Page 1, but in an extremely unusual move, buying this battle pass does not instantly unlock her. Instead, the instant unlock for this pass is the banana dog Peels, the first of the new Sidekicks. Sidekicks, which are being introduced for the first time this season, are little companions that will follow you around in Battle Royale and celebrate your victories. Most of these guys will be sold in the item shop, but Peels is the cheap first hit to get you hooked. Or at least that’s the idea. Marge, meanwhile, can be unlocked once you’ve gotten everything else on Page 1.
Despite being a short one, the Simpsons pass costs the usual 1,000 V-Bucks and is included with a month of Fortnite Crew. To see every new skin, style, and accessory included in Fortnite’s new Simpsons battle pass, scroll on.
