Fortnite live event playlist is now in-game
If you load into Fortnite and scroll down a bit on the Discover menu, you’ll find the Fortnite The Simpsons live event playlist. You can’t join yet, but this does confirm that it will indeed be a separate playlist.

The Simpsons has announced a Rocket League collaboration, launching November 1. This likely points to some Rocket Racing tie-ins too, given that this is all owned by Epic Games.
El Barto wreaks havoc
You may have noticed some updates to the Fortnitemares branding on the main Fortnite channels and website this week. Graffiti from the infamous is scrawled all over, turning Fortnite into ‘Fartnite’. If you head in-game, you’ll see this too, as well as a small animation of Bart using spray paint. This is the first proper look at the upcoming Bart skin, which puts him in a robotic suit, like Morty.

Jonesy and Hope battle Kang and Kodos
We haven’t seen a whole lot of official key art from Epic Games regarding the upcoming The Simpsons tie-in. The image above shows Jonesy and Hope in the style of The Simpsons, facing off with Kang and Kodos. Hopefully we get a look of in-game characters later today.
Sidekicks arrive next season
On October 30, Epic Games revealed Fortnite Sidekicks. These are essentially pets that players can purchase, with these new companions following around in certain game modes. There’s set to be one in the new Battle Pass, and several have been shown off in the reveal trailer.
A new Tweet advises players to drop in early
Attention puny earthlings! Our Alien Overlords have a message for us and you are commanded to drop in before 11AM ET on November 1. You dare not miss it.October 30, 2025
The Fortnite X account has posted an update regarding the upcoming live event. It’s advised that players drop in early, to avoid missing the festivities. Personally, I’ll be jumping into the game half an hour prior to the start time.
Check out the Fortnite The Simpsons live event countdown
If you head to Creepy Camps in Fortnite Battle Royale, you’ll spot Bart’s Treehouse, in a distinctly different cel-shaded kind of style. Next to this is a big red countdown clock, ticking down to the event. You can monitor this while in-game, or stay up to date with this live blog. I’ll be giving regular updates as to how long is left to go before the live event begins.
