We already knew that The Simpsons was teaming up with Epic Games' battle royale, but this isn't the sole place where enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the universe of Springfield. The long-running series is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an in-game car skin that will also be compatible in the Fortnite universe. That said, if gamers will actually want to equip it is a different matter, as fans have their hearts set on just one Simpsons vehicle the community is eager to drive, and this isn't it.
While many gamers would absolutely enjoy to compete behind the wheel of The Homer—the notoriously impractical automobile the patriarch designed personally in the 1991 installment "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?"—regrettably, that isn't what's being offered. Not even receiving the massive SUV, the enormous vehicle featured in the tenth season. Rather, players are getting the family's standard beat-up sedan, which has been in the family since the show's early days. Though this specific vehicle has accumulated plenty of miles, it remains an iconic symbol of the series. For those who analyze the game's vehicle dimensions, the Simpson family car shares the identical collision model as the Dominus.
