Crammed with cameos, this recreation of Springfield in Fortnite\u2019s evolving virtual playground is a delight for long-time fans of the show. Shame it\u2019s not here for long<\/p>\n

After years of collaborations with Disney on Marvel and Star Wars, it\u2019s finally happened: The Simpsons have arrived in Fortnite. Whereas most of these crossovers comprise themed skins and emotes, this is a complete takeover, with an entire stylised map based on Springfield to explore. It\u2019s a smart way of introducing American TV\u2019s longest-running sitcom to a younger audience \u2013 especially with news of a second movie on the way<\/a> \u2013 but for millennials, this is the culmination of a year-long campaign to catch our attention, if previous collabs with Power Rangers, Scream and Mortal Kombat are anything to go by.<\/p>\n

Though this could have been a quick ploy for those who grew up on a diet of afterschool BBC Two repeats to open their wallets, it\u2019s no lazy cash-in. The familiar sights of Springfield you\u2019d expect are here: there\u2019s the Simpsons home on Evergreen Terrace, the sloping lawns of Burns Manor, and a town square with Moe\u2019s Tavern and a statue of Jebediah Springfield, detachable head and all. Towards the edge of the map is the nuclear power plant, pumping cartoon steam into the sky, featuring meltdowns that you can avert by tapping a control console to the tune of \u201ceeny, meeny, miny, moe\u201d. Cletus\u2019s farm and a Slurp factory (the game\u2019s spin on Duff \u2013 no beer on tap here) sit on the corners of the island, and every match starts with a charming recreation of the show\u2019s intro, complete with parting clouds, title card and iconic theme song, before you thank Otto as you leave the battle bus and descend on to the map.<\/p>\n
