Fortnite 
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 5 launches on November 1, 2025. Following Fortnite Halloween, the new season brings the Simpsons theme to the Battle Royale.
Season 5 should serve as a mini-season rather than a full-length one. It will wrap up Chapter 6, with a transition into Chapter 7 anticipated soon after.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 5 release date
The next Fortnite update officially lands on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 11 AM EDT.
Season 5 is a mini-season that bridges the gap before Chapter 7 begins. Expect server downtime of about 2–4 hours as Epic prepares the new content.
Fortnite x The Simpsons collaboration
One of the biggest surprises of Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 5 is its collaboration with The Simpsons. Of course, the C6S5 Battle Pass features The Simpsons-themed skins, rewards, and several original Fortnite characters. You will soon drop into the Springfield island as Homer, Marge, Bart, or even Krusty the Clown.

All Fortnite Springfield map locations
Fortnite is preparing for its upcoming mini-season, and fans are already spotting clues that point to a Simpsons-themed overhaul. Players jumping into the Battle Royale can now notice a small tree sprouting in the upper-left corner of the Creepy Camps location. It’s a subtle teaser that dataminers believe hints at the arrival of Bart Simpson’s iconic treehouse.
According to recent leaks, this marks the beginning of a much larger update that will transform the entire Fortnite island into Springfield, the beloved hometown of The Simpsons.
The leaked map includes the following Springfield POI locations:
- Evergreen Terrace
- Tomacco Farm
- Kamp Krusty
- Power Plant
- Springfield Gorge
- Springfield Town Square
- Professor Frink’s Lab
- Kwik-E-Mart
- Duff Brewery
- Burns’s Manor
It’s a relatively small map. For those who expected the whole of Springfield, it seems disappointing. But hey, it’s supposed to be a mini-season.

Meanwhile, Epic Games is buffing several weapons, including the Thorn Ripper, Hand Cannon, and Wood Stake Shotgun, which hints at more aggressive mid-range combat next season.
