‘Fortnite’ Chapter 6, Season 4 Trailer Reveals Power Rangers, Megazord
In Fortnite’s eternal quest to continue smacking action figures together, we’re starting to get official previews of the upcoming Chapter 6, Season 4, which we now know is called “Shock and Awesome” and features a map-wide bug invasion.
After a recent reveal that female Halo Spartans are coming to the game, a first since Master Chief showed up in 2020, new promos, including a new trailer, have started that feature another franchise, Power Rangers. Because why not?
The new key art, seen above, shows off Tommy Oliver’s Green Ranger, along with what appears to be a giant Megazord looming behind everything. That’s supposed to be something that launches later in the season on September 16. In mid-August, there will be a “Mighty Morphin’” bundle featuring the Red, Black, Pink, Yellow and Blue rangers. Curious how much that will be, or if those are being treated like alt styles for one skin. I think I probably know the answer to that. Here’s a new trailer for all this:

So far as we know, the Halo Spartan will be the Tier 1 battle pass skin, and then Green Ranger will be in the battle pass as well, likely near or at the top, as tends to happen with crossovers.
You have absolutely no idea how many Power Rangers movies and shows there have been over the years. I’m old enough to have watched the original, but this series never, ever went away.
We are at thirty different Power Rangers projects since 1994 which include the likes of: Zeo, Turbo, Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, SPD, Mystic Force, Jungle Fury, RPM, Super Samurai, Megaforce, Super Megaforce, Dino Charge, Dino Super Charge, Ninja Steel, Super Ninja Steel, Beast Morphers, Dino Fury, and finally, 2023’s Cosmic Fury. Are they done? Almost certainly not. Dino Fury and Cosmic Fury are both on Netflix, which has taken over the Power Rangers mantle, so no doubt things will continue from here. But for Fortnite, these are the unsurpassed OGs.
Of course, Halo and Power Rangers are not the only things in this season. There are a number of original Fortnite skins and new additions to the game like a triple barrel gatling gun that looks ridiculous. Ridiculously fun, I suppose.
