The crossover event kicks off November 1, right as the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 wraps up. It is said to be a short, self-contained mini-season that will take players straight to the town of Springfield - complete with chaos, humor, and a few familiar green faces.

From leaks to confirmation

Epic’s announcement on Monday October 27, ended all speculation. The mini-season will feature Kang and Kodos, the alien duo from The Simpsons’ classic Treehouse of Horror episodes, as the main antagonists.

Fans can expect the mini-season to follow a live in-game event, where Kang and Kodos are said to “address the island” before launching their invasion.

Fortnite’s official account shared a teaser clip of the aliens’ ship hovering above the map, along with a short cinematic featuring Jonesy and Hope reacting to the abduction.

The live event begins on Saturday at 8 AM PDT; 11 AM EDT and 3 PM GMT. Following that, the servers will go offline for roughly five hours of downtime before the Springfield-themed mini-season begins later that day.
