With Fortnite OG existing as its own permanent mode now, we aren’t expecting another throwback mini-season in the vein of last year’s Chapter 2 Remix or the original OG season the year before.Instead, the hot rumor since the beginning of May is that we’ll be getting another collaboration mini-season like Star Wars season in May, this time with The Simpsons taking center stage.
When you consider Epic’s cozy relationship with Disney, plus its long history of collabs with animated TV show–including three Fox cartoon dads in June, and Beavis and Butthead in September–this rumor sounded pretty plausible. Indeed, there’s been nearly no skepticism about it at all. And at this point, the thing has leaked so much that we can almost consider it announced. Let’s dive into what we know.
When would the Simpsons mini-season start?
According to next season’s update schedule, Chapter 6 Season 4 should end on Saturday, November 1, which indicates it’ll have a live finale event to wrap things up during the day. If things work the way they did after the Death Star Sabotage event in June, the new mini-season would begin on the evening of November 1, after 4-7 hours of maintenance. Otherwise, it would start the next morning, on November 2.
