It's almost morphin time in Fortnite. The highly anticipated Power Rangers crossover with Fortnite was announced earlier this week, and now Epic Games has unleashed an explosive new trailer for the upcoming season of the battle royale game.
The trailer begins with a bit of exposition, explaining how an invasion of alien bugs has pushed humanity to the brink of extinction.
"We thought it was the end of times," the narrator says. "Turns out, it's moprhin time."
The video then shifts into a full-blown live-action spectacle, bursting with explosive ‘90s nostalgia. As the iconic theme song blasts in the background, the Red, Blue, and Yellow Rangers join forces with Peely to take on a relentless swarm of bugs.
Never in my wildest imagination did I picture the Red Ranger wielding a minigun, but leave it to Fortnite to make it happen.
The Power Rangers will make their debut in Fortnite during Chapter 6 Season 4: Shock 'N Awesome. However, it seems like they won't be part of this season's Battle Pass.
The video description confirms they'll be available as part of the Mighty Morphin Bundle in the Shop mid-August. The bundle will include the Red Ranger, Black Ranger, Pink Ranger, Yellow Ranger, and Blue Ranger outfits along with accessories like the Go Go Power Rangers - Redux Jam Track.
There were rumors that White Ranger would also be coming to Fortnite, so it's still possible he could be one of the later tier rewards for the Battle Pass. It was also confirmed that Battle Pass holders will be able to unlock the Dino Megazord Outfit by completing quests beginning September 16th. A midseason update will also bring the Megazord.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4: Shock 'N Awesome kicks off on August 7th. A full-blown trailer and specific details about the upcoming season will be shared tomorrow.
In addition to the Power Rangers, Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 will also have a collaboration with Halo. As you can see in the key art above, USMC Spartans are coming to the game as cosmetic Outfits. Hopefully, at least one of these will be part of the season Battle Pass.
There are also rumors that the upcoming season will feature a collaboration with the popular anime series One-Punch Man. Nothing has been officially announced, but we've seen multiple leaks now.
