It is not necessarily very common that Fortnite offers Mini-Seasons during its different chapters: out of the 37 already existing seasons of the Battle Royale, this will only be the second time that the Epic Games teams will use this device, the first time also having taken place during Chapter 6 (Mini-Season Galactic Battle inspired by Star Wars). Generally lasting only a few weeks compared to nearly three months for classic seasons, they make it possible to bridge two more major narrative sequences.
Oh!
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 11 AM ET! Don’t change the channel – more of The Simpsons is coming soon.

Before giving way to the new Battle Royale Season, players are cordially invited to join the game this Saturday, November 1st at 4 p.m. to attend, it seems, a mini-event closing Season 4 of Chapter 6 (Insect Alert). To tease this, it is possible to notice the presence of the two well-known aliens from the television show Kang and Kodos, as well as the tree from Bart’s cabin to the north of the island.
This Mini-Season 2 of Chapter 6 (linked to update v38.00) will therefore concern The Simpsons and continues to work on the multiverse that the Epic Games Money Factory has become, adding one of the most popular licenses in Pop Culture for over 35 years. On the program, we should find several emblematic characters from the Simpsons universe in the battle pass, but also a map smaller than usual but entirely stylized in a cartoon style and cult locations from the television program, such as the nuclear power plant, the Krusty Burger, Mr. Burns’ mansion or even Evergreen Terrace, the Simpsons’ address.
This season should be officially launched this Saturday November 1st at 10 p.m. French time if we are to believe the various leakers, after a usual maintenance period of less than 6 hours. This Mini-Season should give way to Fortnite Chapter 7 between November 28 and December 2usual launch dates for new Battle Royale Chapters each year.
Among the first confirmations given by streamers aware of what is happening, we should be entitled to a new animation of the battle bus linked to the Simpsons credits, but also to the presence of Krusty the Clown as Boss, rare chests like Mr. Burns’ mysterious boxes, etc.
Jump in for the mini-event tomorrow (Nov 1) @ 11AM ET to watch Fortnite crash into Springfield! It’s a shameless corporate mashup you won’t want to miss…get hyped with this sneak peek of what’s dropping: youtube.com/shorts/grS4I…
