"Earlier this month, after plenty of teasing and leaks, Epic released a massive update for Fortnite that changed the game into a big ol' Simpsons crossover, complete with a new island that is modeled after the long-running animated show's Springfield. The season has been a big hit for Epic, and each week in November, Epic and Disney (the owners of The Simpsons) have published new animated Simpsons short telling a story of what happens when Fortnite collides with the longest-running sitcom in history."
"On November 18, a few dozen people wearing Homer Simpson costumes invaded the Promenade in Santa Monica, California. You can see what that looks like in the video uploaded by Santa Monica Closeup on YouTube earlier today. You'll also spot a Peely-fied version of Professor Frink, too. This new Fortnite season is weird. As reported by Discussing Film on Twitter, the horde of Homers was also spotted at a donut shop in the area, where they then proceeded to take it over and cause chaos."
Epic released a large Fortnite update that transforms the game into a Simpsons crossover with a new island modeled after Springfield. Epic and Disney published weekly animated Simpsons shorts in November showing interactions between Fortnite and The Simpsons. The next update introduces cloned Homer characters that will appear in-game starting November 19. On November 18, dozens of people dressed as Homer Simpson invaded the Promenade in Santa Monica and caused chaos at a local donut shop, including a Peely-fied Professor Frink mascot. The event functioned as a marketing stunt to promote the new Fortnite x Simpsons season and its upcoming content.
