It was previously announced that The Simpsons was collaborating with Epic Games' battle royale, but that's not the only destination where enthusiasts can experience the universe of Springfield. The long-running series is also making its way to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an in-game car skin that will also be usable in the Fortnite universe. That said, if gamers will truly desire to use it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Springfield car everyone is itching to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

While many players would absolutely enjoy to compete while driving The Homer—the notoriously impractical car the patriarch built himself in the 1991 installment "the one where he meets Herb"—regrettably, that isn't what players are receiving. We aren't even getting the massive SUV, the enormous truck showcased in season 10. Rather, players will obtain the Simpsons' everyday well-worn four-door, which they've been driving since the show's early days. Though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it stands as an recognizable element of the show. And for players who analyze the game's vehicle dimensions, the Simpson family car uses the same hitbox as the Dominus body type.

But that's not the only cosmetic from the show arriving in Rocket League. This limited-time event will additionally feature a series of challenges to earn more rewards, all of which are inspired by the show. According to a press release, the missions will task players to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are the show's years on air, gather boost canisters as if your navigation is set to the Simpson residence, and drive a distance worthy of acquiring the ideal pastries!"

While the complete list of challenge rewards hasn't been revealed, here is what's been announced up to this point:

• Blinky topper
• Homer's Hedges player banner
• Garbage-themed wheels
• 20,000 XP per challenge

Based on promotional images is any indication, it appears players will also get wheels featuring a television showing the show's title sequence, alien antenna toppers, a frosted doughnut trail, and rocket boosts inspired by smoldering rubber and Krusty's famous restaurant.
