A wave of new
Fortnite leaks
has surfaced online, teasing a lineup of upcoming content that includes themed seasons, new locations, and possibly the long-awaited Simpsons collaboration. The leak, believed to be sourced from an insider, has excited fans across the globe, revealing a roadmap packed with surprises all the way into Chapter 7.
While
Epic Games
has yet to confirm anything officially, multiple Fortnite leakers, including trusted names like @SpushFNBR - have shared extensive details that hint at a series of themed updates, including a superhero academy season and a 'Bug Invasion' theme, leading into a mini-season centred around The Simpsons.

Springfield may be coming to Fortnite
According to the leak, Fortnite's Mini-Season 2 - expected later this year, could revolve around The Simpsons, with the town of Springfield possibly arriving as a new Point of Interest (POI). Though details are scarce, there's speculation that iconic locations like the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Krusty Burger, and Moe's Tavern could feature in the game.
This wouldn't be Fortnite's first adult animation collaboration. Past crossovers have included Family Guy's Peter Griffin and characters from Futurama, and Epic's $1.5 billion partnership with Disney in 2024 further fuels expectations for an ambitious Simpsons tie-in.
If true, this would mark a significant moment in Fortnite's long history of pop culture collaborations, with fans eager to see characters like Homer, Bart, and Marge enter the battle royale universe. Some reports even suggest Homer Simpson could headline the season's Battle Pass.
A stacked roadmap into 2026
The leaked roadmap outlines content well beyond the
Simpsons mini-season
. Chapter 6 Season 3 is expected to focus on a Superhero Academy theme, with Midas returning as a central figure and a Superman mythic power-up debuting alongside the Fortress of Solitude as a new POI.
Chapter 6 Season 4 reportedly brings a 'Bug Invasion' theme, while Chapter 7 may begin with a city life and gala aesthetic, followed by a Norse mythology theme in Season 2. A Marvel-themed mini-season is also expected to return in 2026, complete with symbiote features.
In addition to new seasons and characters, concerts are expected to make a return next year, with two major events also planned for 2025.
While all this information remains unconfirmed, fans won't have to wait long. Fortnite's current Star Wars mini-season ends on June 7, and Epic is expected to announce what's next shortly after.

Witcher 4's 60fps tech demo sparks hope for GTA 6 performance on PS5
Source: Rockstar Games A recent tech demo for The Witcher 4 has gotten people excited, especially fans who are waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6. Presented at the State of Unreal 2025 event, the demo showed The Witcher 4 playing at 60fps with ray tracing on a default PlayStation 5. This achievement has raised the question of whether other demanding games such as GTA 6 would be capable of such performance on next-gen consoles. Witcher 4's tech demo sparks GTA 6 frame rate expectations The Witcher 4 - UE 5.6 Tech Demo | State of Unreal 2025 The Witcher 4 demo, developed with Unreal Engine 5.6, showcased hero Ciri traversing verdant woods and chock-full medieval towns, all of which were rendered in breathtaking detail at 60fps with ray tracing enabled. The announcement came at Epic Games' State of Unreal 2025 presentation and immediately rang in optimism throughout the gaming world. Many believed that this kind of optimization would be applied to other giant open-world titles, particularly Rockstar's GTA 6, which is infamous for pushing technical limits. But CD Projekt Red explained that the demo was a technical demonstration rather than representative final gameplay. Nevertheless, its silky-smooth performance on base PS5 hardware hints that next-gen games can do more than thought before, based on engine efficiency and hardware use. Why GTA 6 might not do the same, at least yet Even with the optimism, experts caution that GTA 6 cannot be expected to ship with a 60fps mode on PS5. The engine of the game is built around Ray Traced Global Illumination (RTGI), which is deeply integrated and not scalable. This renders it difficult to offer a performance mode without significantly sacrificing the game's visuals. Even the PS5 Pro will struggle to maintain 60fps from CPU restrictions and the simulation-intensive nature of GTA 6. Additionally, Rockstar's official trailers have been capped at 30fps, furthering expectations of a 30fps launch. Developer recorded clips at higher frame rates are not representative of real-time console gaming. While The Witcher 4 tech demo shows that 60fps open-world experiences are possible on PS5, GTA 6 may not be able to replicate that performance at launch. Until Rockstar confirms otherwise, players should manage expectations and be prepared for a 30fps experience, at least in the early stages.
