It was previously announced that The Simpsons was collaborating with Epic Games' battle royale, but that's not the only place where enthusiasts can experience the universe of Springfield. The beloved show is also making its way to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be usable in Fortnite. However, if gamers will actually want to equip it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Simpsons vehicle the community is eager to drive, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

While many gamers would undoubtedly love to face off while driving Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed automobile the patriarch designed personally in the 1991 episode "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. Not even receiving the Canyonero, the heavy-duty truck showcased in season 10. Rather, players are getting the Simpsons' standard beat-up four-door, which has been in the family since 1989. Though this particular car has accumulated plenty of miles, it remains an iconic element of the series. For those who pay attention to the game's car hitboxes, the Simpson family car shares the same hitbox as the Dominus.

Additional Themed Cosmetics

But that's not the only customization item from the series coming to Rocket League. This limited-time event will additionally feature a set of challenges to unlock additional rewards, all of which are Simpsons-themed. As detailed in a press release, the missions will require players to "achieve a certain number of centers and clears as there are The Simpsons years on air, gather boost canisters as if your GPS is set to The Simpsons’ residence, and drive a distance worthy of picking up the ideal pastries!"

Although the full lineup of earnable items isn't yet disclosed, here is what's been announced so far:

• Blinky topper
• Homer's hedge-themed banner
• Waste wheels
• 20,000 experience points for each challenge

If the key art is any indication, it appears fans will also get wheels with a television showing The Simpsons' title sequence, Kang and Kodos topper, a frosted doughnut trail, and boost effects themed to smoldering rubber and Krusty Burger.

Launch Dates and Crossover Details

The Rocket League collaboration lines up with the major Simpsons invasion of Fortnite, which includes a completely new playable area of the fictional town, as well as a 30-day Battle Pass. This special Rocket League and Simpsons celebration launches on November 1st and concludes on November 17th.
