A report from Gamespot.com cited Microsoft and 20th Century Fox's announcement on Thursday that fan-favorite characters from the highly-acclaimed adult cartoon series "The Simpsons" are coming to Minecraft.

"We have an active community of more than 17 million die-hard Minecrafters on Xbox Live enjoying the wide range of downloadable content on Xbox, and they have been clamoring for us to bring Simpsons characters to the game," said Phil Spencer, Head of Xbox, said in a statement.

The site also stated that a total of 19 additional characters from Springfield Elementary School are also slated to arrive in the game. Best speculations of who these characters are would include the names Nelson, Milhouse, and Ralph.
