Homer, Marge, Bart and the rest of “The Simpsons” cast of characters are set to run riot in a slew of new battles across Epic Games’ Fortnite under a new pact.\n\nDisney and Epic Games announced that “The Simpsons” is joining Fortnite’s IP Partner Program, giving third-party developers the tools to create “fully authentic” games using the animated franchise’s characters and settings for the first time.\n\nIt’s the latest initiative to come out of Disney’s $1.5 billion investment in Epic, announced in February 2024. And “The Simpsons” have dropped into the Fortnite universe before: Disney and Epic in November 2025 launched a month-long battle royale season with “The Simpsons” featuring the 80-player Springfield Island in the online game. According to Disney, the Simpsons battle royale season reached 80 million unique players with a cumulative 750 million hours played.\n\n“I can’t wait to see what the Fortnite superfans and ‘The Simpsons’ superfans come up with!” - **Matt Selman (Executive Producer and showrunner of “The Simpsons)**\n\n“Together with Disney, we’ve seen what happens when beloved franchises are put in the hands of Fortnite creators, players respond when their favorite characters and stories are handled with care. Creators will be able to use ‘The Simpsons’ toolkit, built with 20 Century Studios and Gracie Films, to make games that deeply engage fans.” - **Adam Sussman (CEO Epic Games)**\n\n“‘The Simpsons has been making people laugh for over 35 years — parents grew up with it; their kids are discovering it now. That kind of staying power is rare. What we found with the Star Wars IP toolkit is that when you hand developers the assets — the characters, the worlds, the visual language — their passion for the content comes through in the surprising, creative, and engaging experiences they make. We wanted to see what that looks like with Springfield and we can’t wait to see what creators do with it.” **- Ray Gresko, (SVP and head Of Product And Development At Disney Digital Entertainment)**",
