Fortnite has given players a more detailed look at the Bart Simpson skin coming to Battle Royale in the next mini-season. It's almost time for the players to finish Fortnite Shock 'N Awesome and Say Goodbye to Chapter 6 On November 1st, Chapter 6 Season 4 will come to an end, and players will have to say goodbye to the NPCs, POIs, and map they've been playing on for the past year.
As most players know by now, Fortnite chapters and seasons come in cycles. At the beginning of December, a new chapter begins, then there are four full seasons – sometimes with a special event or season in between – and finally, after the Fortnitemares event, there is usually a mini-season to separate the last chapter from the upcoming chapter. This gives players some time to prepare for a major overhaul of the Battle Royale game mode, which will undoubtedly bring a new island and characters, its own storyline and fun mechanics.
Fortnite reveals Bart Simpson's skin in the In-Game Newsfeed
This year's mini-season has been confirmed to be a crossover with The Simpsons. Between Chapter 6 Season 2 and Chapter 6 Season 3 there was also a special season that resulted from a crossover with Star Warsso fans weren't too surprised that the next mini-season will also feature a franchise from another universe. Fans have been especially excited to see The Simpsons skins that will make it to the mini Battle Pass, and Fortnite has finally decided to give a reveal by giving fans a sneak peek at the upcoming skin when Bart Simpson unexpectedly appeared in the game's news feed and graffitied over a The Simpsons x Fortnite PR picture.
Bart has a notoriously mischievous personality, so fans thought it was definitely in character for him to graffiti an 'A' over the 'O' in 'Fortnite', change the word to 'Fartnite'. Since Bart is still a child, his character is too short to fit the Battle Royale models. So, in the same way as Fortnites Morty skin, Bart is held up by a robot that allows him to reach the same height as other characters in Fortnite.
The Simpsons the season will undoubtedly provide a comical atmosphere Fortnite which will blend in quite well with its already frivolous tone. Fortnite is about having a good time, and Epic Games makes this possible by giving players tons of silly cosmetic options, like iconic skins like Peely and fun emotes.
