Fortnite’s The Simpsons skins double down on the game’s recent clown obsession
By now, everyone who cares about Fortnite knows that The Simpsons is coming to the game with Season 5 of Chapter 6 but until now, many of the details remained elusive. Luckily for you, the datamine leakers have been hard at work, and we now have confirmation on which characters will be making the cut – and spoilers, it’s a lot of them. Coming next season, The Simpsons Fortnite collab will include skins of Homer, Marge, Moe, Krusty the Clown, Ned Flanders, Scratchy (from the fictional Itchy and Scratchy show, of course), and two more iconic characters, whose skins will look a little different due to them being… vertically challenged.
I am, of course, talking about Bart and Lisa, because it’s impossible not to have these two appear in the game. Because of their height, the hitboxes need to be increased so they will appear in mech suits, just like Morty from the Rick and Morty collab. While this is pretty funny, I do want to know why baby Maggie isn’t involved in this, since we’re clearly on the theme of babies in games with the recent Fortnite Binding of Isaac collab – and Maggie has been known to shoot a gun or two in her time. Perhaps Epic is biding its time on that one.
It’s evident that Mech Lisa and Bart will be the stars of the show, since leaker Shiina suggests they won’t be available in the battle pass, so Epic no doubt wants to charge you a little extra to have them. Either way, the skins available in the battlepass will be Homer, Marge, and Ned Flanders, the latter of which is, in my opinion, an inspired choice, given the usually peaceful nature of one of the funniest Simpsons characters. Also available via battlepass is the Fishstick remix and Peely remix, so you’ve got some old skins in a new style to get you in the Simpsons mood, too.
