"The latest event in Fortnite has an army of Homer Simpsons (Homers Simpson?) overrunning the cel-shaded Springfield Island map, with both an animated short episode and a real-life marketing stunt to promote the occasion. Titled "Multiplidiocy," the short (continuing from last week's donut-fueled event) depicts Bart and Lisa Simpson observing radioactive zombified versions of their dad meandering through the streets before Police Chief Clancy Wiggum mows several of them down with a couple of fancy Fortnite guns."
"The short ends with Lisa and Bart attempting to restore their father, only for a giant, nearly naked Homer to materialize before going on a destructive rampage. This is presumably a setup for next week's Fortnite event. If you happened to be in Santa Monica yesterday, you might have seen an actual army of Homer Simpson clones roaming the streets. Video game artist Del Walker shared a video on X showing what looks like an overwhelming number of people in Homer Simpsons suits idling in public."
Fortnite runs a Simpsons mini-season on Springfield Island that pairs an animated short titled Multiplidiocy with in-game themed weapons and cosmetics. The short shows Bart and Lisa encountering radioactive, zombified versions of Homer, with Chief Wiggum firing Fortnite weapons to stop some of them. The short escalates when a giant, nearly naked Homer materializes and rampages, implying a follow-up event. A real-world marketing stunt in Santa Monica deployed numerous people dressed as Homer Simpson clones wandering public spaces, and videos of the stunt were shared on social media. The crossover runs until Chapter 7 begins on November 29.
