Homer Simpson, Bob Belcher and More Dads May Join Fortnite for Father's Day

🗓️ 2025-06-10 05:28

Animated TV dads from The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, King of the Hill and The Cleveland Show are reportedly headed to Fortnite.

Burger chef and hapless but lovable dad Bob Belcher of Bob's Burgers is expected to be one of the dads added to Fortnite for Father's Day.

D'oh! The popular game Fortnite may be gearing up for its most dad-centric, delightfully weird crossover yet.

According to trusted Fortnite leaker @ShiinaBR, four iconic animated TV fathers -- Bob Belcher of Bob's Burgers, Hank Hill of King of the Hill, Cleveland Brown of The Cleveland Show and Homer Simpson of The Simpsons -- are coming to the third season of the popular game as playable skins in honor of Father's Day this weekend.

A representative for Epic Games, the company that owns Fortnite, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

While Epic Games hasn't officially confirmed the lineup, evidence is piling up. Three of the four skins have already been spotted in the game files and a connection with The Simpsons has been teased through official channels, adding more fuel to the hype. 

Fans first speculated about a King of the Hill collaboration in May after "Propane Specialist" assets referencing Arlen, Texas, were found in-game.

It's a clever twist on Fortnite's usual pop culture mashups, tapping into animated comedy royalty to celebrate fatherhood in all its awkward, endearing, burger-flipping, beer-drinking glory.
