Fortnite’s Simpsons season is finally here after many months of rumors, and in some ways, it’s a lot more involved than previous mini-seasons. That’s because it’s the first of them to take place on a completely new and original island. While the other November mini-seasons took place on updated versions of old maps, and Star Wars season just added Star Wars places to the Battle Royale map, Simpsons season is introducing a totally new, cel-shaded island based on Springfield and various iconic locations from the series for us to fight over in November.
At least one sacrifice was made to make this map happen. This island is a little bit smaller than the current Battle Royale map, and as a result, it uses a smaller player cap than usual at 80 players instead of 100. But that’s not necessarily the worst thing, as the smaller island should mean faster and more exciting rounds, and also they might be able to keep it around as a Reload map after the season ends, which would make all this effort a little more worthwhile.
The new island includes nine major, named locations, like the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, and it’s filled with gimmicks, like how each round will have one randomly activated event that players can race to complete for great loot. These are the new map spots:
- Springfield Nuclear Power Plant
- Cletus’ Corn Hole
- Kamp Krusty
- Burns Manor
- Springfield Town Square
- Mayor’s Munchies
- Donut District
- Evergreen Terrace
- Springfield Slurpworks
As you can see, Epic essentially broke Springfield up into several smaller pieces and spread them around. I shudder to think of how many Easter Eggs this map must be filled with. Scroll on for closer looks at some of the major locations and landmarks you’ll find around the map. And before you ask–yes, these are all actual Fortnite screenshots.
