Epic says Fortnite<\/a> Reload gets a Simpsons update on July 30<\/strong>, with a cel-shaded Springfield map and a Simpsonified John Wick skin. Matches will still be 50-player, but they’ll play out on a reworked version of Springfield. Epic is also adding The Confidential, a new point of interest where combat is turned off and proximity chat is enabled, so squads can stop for a minute, talk, and reset.<\/p>\n

John Wick isn’t just a quick cameo, either. Epic says this isn’t some Matt Groening-style Keanu Reeves cosmetic. It’s a Springfield-themed skin you can unlock if you already own the current Fortnite Battle Pass and finish Fortnite Reload quests, and for now it isn’t being sold<\/strong> through the Item Shop.<\/p>\n\n

There’s also a new John Wick Sprite. Epic says it reveals nearby enemy locations for you and your squad after a knock or elimination, which should help in Reload, where fights break out fast and rotations stay tight.<\/p>\n\n

If you play Fortnite Reload a lot, this one looks easy to justify. The bigger story, though, is Epic leaning harder into its entertainment-brand push, since The Simpsons<\/a> is also set to join Fortnite’s IP Partner Program later this year for creator-made experiences.<\/p>\n\n

You’ll be able to jump into it in Fortnite Reload on July 30<\/strong> across supported Fortnite platforms.<\/p>\n
