A new live event is set to hit Fortnite, paving the way for the upcoming Simpsons mini-season, with an island-wide address from Kang and Kodos seemingly on the cards.
Fortnite has been in the throes of its Shock 'N Awesome season for a while now, delivering an impressive Chapter 6 Season 4 Battle Pass and leading into a brilliant Fortnitemares event – but it's time for a change. The game has been smashing it with eerie content, providing a plethora of Fortnitemares skins release dates for players to note down and a new item to snatch in the Ghostface Stalkboxes, but it's time for something a bit less serious in its scares, and something a bit more light-hearted. Perhaps a Treehouse of Horror?
The Simpsons is officially making its way to Fortnite after leakers gave us a glimpse at the skins we'll be seeing in the forthcoming Fortnite Simpsons Battle Pass, and a new mini-season will plunge players into Springfield for a brief mini-season that mirrors history's largest (and frankly, best) sitcom. To bridge the gap, a live event is en route, and Fortnite has disclosed that it will feature a direct address from Kang and Kodos, presumably asserting their rule over the island, as suggested by a new screenshot shared by the Fortnite Twitter account.
So, when exactly can we anticipate this live event, and expect a direct address from Kang and Kodos? Here's what you need to know about the crucial Fortnite live event start date.
