\n\tEarlier this month Springfield dropped into Epic Game<\/a>s\u2019 Fortnite<\/em>, bringing a little slice of The Simpsons <\/em>to gamers around the world. <\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside the virtual Springfield (which includes dozens of locations from the long-running series<\/a>), the creative team from the show wrote a series of Simpsons<\/em> shorts teeing up new features and drops. The shorts are viewable on Disney+, in Fortnite, and on the game\u2019s social<\/a> channels.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe result is a collaboration, between Disney and Epic and Simpsons<\/em> producer Gracie Films that crosses platforms, gamers playing in the world of Springfield within Fortnite, Disney+ users watching Simpsons shorts filled with Fortnite easter egg and plot points, that, to hear Simpsons <\/em>showrunner Matt Selman and writer Jeff Westbrook explain it, creates a cross-generational experience that is unlike many of the things that came before it. <\/p>\n

\n\tYes, even for a show like The Simpsons<\/em>, which debuted its first episode some 36 years ago.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think The Simpsons<\/em> is unique not just in the marketplace, but in the universe, in that we have three generations of fans, four generations, who have grown up or watched the show at some point,\u201d Selman tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> in an interview. \u201cAnd now, the fans who watched it in college have kids who are in college. No other show has that level of multi-generational emotional engagement with its fan base, no matter how you engaged or when you engaged, whether it was from seasons four to 10, or from 15 to 20. It is like the background of your life, the emotional journey of your life, is the show. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAnd so when it came to brand partnerships, we have to exploit that,\u201d he added with a smile.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Simpsons\u00a0<\/em>collaboration with Fortnite<\/em> blended gameplay, storytelling and brand new content to celebrate the series and build an authentic connection across TV and gaming audiences,\u201d says Adam Sussman, the president of Epic Games. \u201cThe experience captured the humor, heart, and cultural moments that have defined\u00a0The Simpsons<\/em>\u00a0for 35 years.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tSelman, joined by fellow writer Jeff Westbrook, emphasized the collaborative nature of the effort, which sought to bring elements from the show and its world to Fortnite<\/em>, and some of the game\u2019s absurdity and characters to the show\u2019s world.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s even a plotline that connects the animated shorts to the gameplay, with Homer using a Zero Point Shard (it\u2019s a Fortnite <\/em>reference) to create a better world.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis has to be Homer\u2019s emotions, Homer\u2019s unique comedic personality driving the story of all this chaos and nonsense, but he he wants to make the world better with the magic crystal,\u201d Selman says.<\/p>\n
