A Fortnite The Simpsons crossover live event airs this weekend (November 1), and so far we know very little about it. Thankfully, we do know when the event is set to go live, and some info on what to expect. There’s also been some teases in-game, including an appearance by Kang and Kodos.

Here’s the Fortnite The Simpsons live event start time, as well as everything confirmed for the seasonal switchover. As new info is revealed, I’ll be sure to update this page.

What do we know about the Fortnite The Simpsons live event?
Epic Games is yet to reveal the full dteails on the upcoming Fortnite The Simpsons mini-event. The company is indeed calling it a “mini-event”, which is different phrasing to the usual speak surrounding upcoming seasonal transitions. If you head in-game, you’ll see the message below:
“‘Welcome Our Alien Overlords’ Mini Event – Nov 1. Not even Bart’s Treehouse can contain what awaits. Kick back on the couch, grab a donut, and welcome Kang and Kodos on November 1 at 11AM ET! Don’t change the channel – more of The Simpsons is coming soon.”
It seems then, that the mini event is titled: “Welcome Our Alien Overlords”. In the Instagram post embedded above, we see Kang and Kodos battling it out with Jones and Hope, all in the style of The Simpsons.

Over on X, the official Fortnite account revealed another look at Kang and Kodos, confirming the upcoming event. So far, this is really all we have, though there are some in-game teases, which I’ll cover below.
The Simpsons in-game Fortnite teasers
If you head into Fortnite Battle Royale and visit Creepy Camps, you’ll find a countdown clock, ticking down to the event’s start time. It’s next to Bart’s Treehouse, which is completely cel-shaded, as is the area around it. You can jump up into the treehouse to find a TV.
In addition to the treehouse and countdown, you’ll also see Kang and Kodos flying in alongside the battle bus at the beginning of a match. They’re in the Fortnite art-style, so it’s possible they’ll be available as a glider later on.
That’s everything that’s been officially confirmed for the upcoming Fortnite x The Simpsons live event. As more info is revealed I’ll be sure to add it here. There have been some Fortnite The Simpsons leaks, however, revealing some of the Battle Pass characters, and an early version of the new map.
