Epic revealed that Fortnite was bringing back the incredible The Simpsons content in a future update, and we’ve got all the early details you need to know, from its start date to content.
Fortnite allowed gamers to run around Springfield properly for the first time since The Simpsons Hit and Run. There were so many classic Simpsons hidden secrets and gags, and fun bosses—it was a peak update.
The Simpsons is coming back to Fortnite, and soon.
When Does The Simpsons Come Back in Fortnite Reload?
It’s believed that the return of The Simpsons content will arrive on July 30 to kickstart Fortnite Reload.
Even if you’re not the biggest Simpsons fan ever, you have to admit the Springfield map was fun, and Epic made great use of the show’s endless list of gimmicks, characters, and gags to create a special experience.

Some leaks have suggested that there will be new content, including a new POI, but we should also expect to see a lot of the original content return, perhaps with new and returning bundles.
The biggest rumor in the mill is about the map.

Springfield will apparently have 10 POIs (points of interest) this time around, whereas the 2025 version had nine. The newcomer, according to leakers, could be the Retirement Home where many iconic characters like Grandpa Simpson and Jasper live.
Bizarrely, leakers also think it ‘could be something John Wick related.’

Based on POI codenames in the files, the Simpsons Reload map is set to have TEN POIs instead of the original nine.
There was a scrapped Retirement Home POI during the original season, so maybe it will be that! Or, it could be something… pic.twitter.com/AVkBs1peii
