"After years of collaborations with Disney on Marvel and Star Wars, it's finally happened: The Simpsons have arrived in Fortnite. Whereas most of these crossovers comprise themed skins and emotes, this is a complete takeover, with an entire stylised map based on Springfield to explore. It's a smart way of introducing American TV's longest-running sitcom to a younger audience especially with news of a second movie on the way"
"Though this could have been a quick ploy for those who grew up on a diet of afterschool BBC Two repeats to open their wallets, it's no lazy cash-in. The familiar sights of Springfield you'd expect are here: there's the Simpsons home on Evergreen Terrace, the sloping lawns of Burns Manor, and a town square with Moe's Tavern and a statue of Jebediah Springfield, detachable head and all."
Fortnite now contains a full Simpsons-themed island that recreates Springfield with high visual detail. Iconic locations include the Simpsons home on Evergreen Terrace, Burns Manor with sloping lawns, Moe's Tavern in the town square, a statue of Jebediah Springfield, Cletus's farm, a Slurp factory, and the nuclear power plant emitting cartoon steam. Matches begin with a faithful recreation of the show's intro, including parting clouds, title card, and theme song, before players leave the battle bus. Interactive elements let players avert meltdowns at the power plant by using a control console timed to a rhyme. The map is compact compared with other Fortnite islands.
