Simpsons Fortnite mini-season rumored imminent after Kang and Kodos appear in-game

Fortnite fans anticipate a Simpsons crossover after Kang and Kodos debut in-game

Rumors of a long-anticipated The Simpsons collaboration in Fortnite are intensifying after the arrival of the show’s iconic alien duo, Kang and Kodos, within the game. Their appearance has convinced fans that a full Simpsons-themed mini-season may soon be launched.

As reported by Tom Phillips of Eurogamer, the speculation began earlier this year after Fortnite introduced its Star Wars mini-season, officially labeled “Chapter 6: Mini-Season 1.” Since each Chapter typically spans a year, fans believe a second mini-season is likely before the current one concludes in December 2025.

The newly added Fortnite glider featuring Kang and Kodos — complete with a description referencing a “Battle Pass” — has further fueled the theory. The item marks the first-ever appearance of The Simpsons characters in Fortnite, which has previously collaborated with a wide range of Disney-owned franchises such as Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Avatar, and Family Guy.

According to online leakers, including @ShiinaBR on X (formerly Twitter), the glider is expected to be a free reward in upcoming Halloween-themed quests, likely teasing the crossover event. The tie-in would align with The Simpsons’ annual “Treehouse of Horror” specials, strengthening speculation of a seasonal connection.

Meanwhile, The Simpsons recently launched its 37th season, where co-showrunner Matt Selman reiterated that the creators prefer the show to remain broadly humorous rather than overly topical.

The rumored collaboration may follow Fortnite’s pattern of high-profile year-end events — such as its “OG” Chapter 1 revival in 2023 and the Snoop Dogg/Eminem-themed update in 2024. Whether The Simpsons crossover will introduce a Springfield-themed map or revisit earlier chapters remains to be seen. For now, Epic Games continues rolling out its extensive “Fortnitemares” 2025 event, featuring partnerships with Wednesday, Scooby-Doo, and Scream.
