The much-awaited Simpsons Season is here, and the developers have a few neat surprises for the Fortnite fans. On November 19, a plethora of updates were released for the game. In this article, we will discuss everything new with the latest update.
To kick things off, Springfield is now flooded with Homer chasing you around when you enter his vicinity, and while it may seem fun, it can prove to be annoying when engaging in fights. Homer did not come alone; he came with a shotgun, which may not be as impressive, yet can be a refreshing update to the game.
The first thing that everyone will notice is the countdown timers set for Chapter 7 to commence. The Zero Hour Countdown is too prominent to go unnoticed.
The update has more than enough changes for fans to get excited about. Make sure to read the patch notes below to get a grasp of things:
