Epic Games just released an update to Fortnite The Simpsons, adding in an army of Homer clones. These can be activated on the map, primarily around Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. They'll essentially act like zombies, attacking nearby players. This could be a great way to ambush opponents, as they'll be too busy fighting off Homer to notice you sneaking in for the elimination.
Fortnite's latest update is finally here, continuing with Fortnite The Simpsons which switches up the map once again. There's new weapons to try out, a Springfield-themed Battle Pass, as well as updates centered around the long-running TV show.
Here's everything you need to know about the process of Fortnite The Simpsons ending, when the next season starts, and what to expect from Fortnite in the future. Also, the latest on what's been revealed about future updates, including possible The Simpsons events and tie-ins.

The first look at the new map was shared on the official Fortnite X account on November 20, 2025. It shows desert biomes, and flora native to the California area. Looks like we will indeed be playing in a new map based on the United States.
We also now know that there will be a live event that leads into the new Chapter. The Fortnite Zero Hour Chapter finale event goes live on November 29, 2025, and will see Godzilla, Kong, and a giant Homer Simpson battling a truly dangerous foe.
Fortnite latest map changes
Fortnite has a completely new map that launched alongside The Simpsons season. It's called Springfield Island, and is a bit smaller than the last map. 80 players can drop into a Battle Royale match, so matches finish faster than in the last season. You can see the new map in the image embedded above, with major POIs like Burn's Manor, Evergreen Terrace and more.
