New “Sugar High” Animated Short Teases Exciting Fortnights Ahead
Fortnite is stepping into the world of The Simpsons once again, promising a series of delightful surprises for fans. The latest animated short, titled “Sugar High,” has just dropped on Disney Plus and Fortnite’s social media channels, offering peeks at what gamers can expect in the near future.
New Items and Skins
The animation reveals some exciting new items and skins that will be making their way into the game. One of the standout features is the remote control, which has been seen in Fortnite’s key art before. This device is expected to function similarly to a Junk Rift or Air Strike, but instead of dropping various items, it will dispense gigantic versions of food like doughnuts, chicken drumsticks, and even an enormous ham.
Additionally, Moe Szyslak and Professor Frink are getting new skins.
Moe is transformed into a banana, much like Peely, while the Professor takes on a more banana-like appearance as well. This could add some variety to the existing Springfielder Peely skin in this month’s Battle Pass.
Chainsaws and Spider-Pig
The short also teases the return of chainsaws, which adds an interesting layer of mobility for players who might find themselves navigating the smaller Springfield map. The inclusion of Plopper, better known as Spider-Pig, hints at a potential Sidekick collaboration, though it’s not yet confirmed. Fans are eagerly awaiting this addition to the game.
Potential New Game Mode and Homer Clones
The most intriguing part of “Sugar High” is the final scene, which shows Homer hiding a shard from the Zero Point at the Nuclear Power plant in a vat of nuclear waste. While it doesn’t immediately explode, Homer falls into the vat while reaching for a candy bar. From there emerges an army of glowing Homers that begin marching towards Springfield.
This could indicate either another Homer skin or multiple Homer enemies to fight on the island.
This scenario is reminiscent of Fortnite’s previous collaboration with KPop Demon Hunters, which introduced Demon Rush mode, a horde shooter with unique items. Fans are hoping for something similar but with radioactive Homer clones, offering a fresh take on the game’s mechanics and gameplay style.
Future Collaborations
The Simpsons’ presence in Fortnite isn’t just limited to these immediate updates. There are plans for further collaborations, including a potential Kill Bill partnership with Quentin Tarantino. This would bring iconic characters from the film into the game, creating yet another layer of excitement and variety.
Fans can look forward to more surprises in the coming weeks as The Simpsons continue to make an impact on Fortnite’s ever-evolving landscape. With so much content still to come, it’s clear that the collaboration has a lot of potential to entertain both long-time fans and new players alike.
