Fortnite Chapter 6 is drawing to a close, but we’re not heading into Chapter 7 just yet. Much like earlier in the year with the Star Wars-themed season, we’re getting a month-long mini-season before we dive into the new chapter, and this time it’s The Simpsons who will be taking the stage.
There’s a lot of fun stuff on the way, with a Simpsons-themed map and a bunch of skins to get your hands on, but to kick it all off, we’ve got a live event. It’s been a little while since the last live event, so we’ll cover when it’s set to start so you can dive right into the action.
The event is set to start on Saturday, November 1, 2025 at 11am ET. Here’s what that means for time zones around the world:
This event is currently being teased in-game, as Bart’s Treehouse has recently sprouted on the island with a TV showing static inside it. We also got a brief trailer the other day, which saw iconic green aliens Kang & Kodos wreak havoc upon the characters of Fortnite. It also gave us our first look at Simpson-ified versions of Fortnite mainstays Jonsey and Hope, so hopefully we’ll get to pick up those skins in the new season.
Exactly what the content of this event is, we don’t yet know, as previous events have shown they really could be anything. However, we also know that this season is also set to end with a live event, so it could just be part 1 of something bigger. Either way, it looks like Kang & Kodos will be our main antagonists, which makes sense; they’re arguably the best villains The Simpsons has (even if real fans know it should be Hank Scorpio).
