The long-anticipated launch of the Fortnite Simpsons season is finally here, following months of speculation and excitement. However, players will need to wait a bit longer as the game is currently offline for maintenance after the recent "Welcome, Our Alien Overlords" event. This event featured a unique short film that introduced the Simpsons into the Fortnite universe.
As per Epic’s tradition, the game goes offline before a major update. Unlike typical updates that occur in the middle of the night, this one is timed for a Saturday evening, aimed at maximizing player engagement during primetime.
When Will Fortnite Return?
Epic Games anticipates bringing Fortnite back online by 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. Although this is only an estimated time, the actual maintenance might vary slightly, as it often concludes before or after the planned schedule. Typically, maintenance for Fortnite lasts between four to seven hours, suggesting that players could be back in the game about 5.5 hours after the downtime began.
What’s New in the Simpsons Season?
This exciting update introduces a completely overhauled cel-shaded map inspired by Springfield, along with a Simpsons-themed battle pass and an updated loot pool. This collaboration is touted as one of the most comprehensive merges the game has seen so far.
