We already knew that the iconic animated series was collaborating with Fortnite, but this isn't the sole place where fans can immerse themselves in the world of Springfield. The long-running series is coming over to the popular soccer-driving hybrid, bringing along an vehicle customization option that will also be compatible in Fortnite. However, if gamers will actually want to use it is another question, as fans have their hearts set on just one Springfield car the community is eager to get behind the wheel of, and this new offering isn't that one.

The Dream Vehicle

Although most gamers would absolutely enjoy to face off while driving Homer's custom creation—the famously flawed car Homer designed himself in the classic installment "the one where he meets Herb"—that's not what's being offered. Not even getting the Canyonero, the enormous truck showcased in the tenth season. Rather, fans are getting the Simpsons' everyday well-worn four-door, which has been in the family since 1989. Even though this specific vehicle has seen better days, it stands as an recognizable symbol of the series. For those who analyze the game's vehicle dimensions, the Simpson family car uses the identical collision model as the Dominus body type.

As detailed in a official announcement, the missions will task participants to "get as many centers and clears as there are the show's seasons, gather boost canisters as if your GPS is set to the Simpson house, and travel a specific distance worthy of acquiring the ideal pastries!"

Although the full lineup of earnable items isn't yet disclosed, here is what's been announced so far:

• Blinky topper
