Epic Games has added two new rooms to the iconic Simpsons house in Fortnite's latest Simpsons-themed season. The update recreates the cartoon's ever-changing layout in a static game environment, leading to some quirky design choices. Fans are buzzing about the additions, including a rumpus room and an unexpected upstairs sitting area.
Update Overview
Fortnite's current season draws inspiration from the long-running animated series The Simpsons, which premiered in 1989 and continues on Fox. A key location on the new Springfield-inspired island is 742 Evergreen Terrace, the Simpsons' home, known for its inconsistent layout across episodes. Epic Games recreated this flexible cartoon house as a static in-game structure, resulting in unique adaptations to accommodate the show's quirks.
Downstairs Additions
The hallway adjacent to the kitchen, a rarely detailed area in the series, has been expanded. Epic included a foosball table, dartboard, and chair in what serves as a utility space. The legendary rumpus room remains but without a door, and a new laundry or mud room connects the garage, featuring a downstairs bathroom. This bathroom addresses fan theories about accessibility, though evidence in the show is sparse. Notably, no basement is included, simplifying the design.
Upstairs Changes
Upstairs, where bedrooms and bathrooms are located, the layout shifts episode to episode, as seen in episodes like 'My Sister, My Sitter' where Bart's room moves. Epic's version adds an odd hallway/sitting area with a couch connected to the master bedroom, which also houses the upstairs bathroom. This placement avoids direct connections but introduces new, unexplained space.
The changes align with the house's comedic flexibility, prioritizing humor over consistency. For deeper insights, fans can refer to analyses like RealJim's video on the house's inconsistencies.
