They feature special costumes and gigantic Zord robots. Most recently, the latest season titled Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, was released on Netflix back in September 2023, while a reboot is reportedly in the works to release in 2025.
The Power Rangers franchise holds a rich history of association with video games. 2018’s Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid even had its crossover with Street Fighter fame Ryu and Chun-Li appearing as guest fighters. Some seasons of Power Rangers have been more well-remembered than others. Meanwhile, it has also been a staple of pop culture for more than three decades.
Epic Games has seen a considerable number of special guest appearances from countless superheroes and television characters. These include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, their longtime partner April O’Neal, as well as Shredder. If the Power Rangers collaboration is true, it would just add to the long list of crossovers that the game has seen.
Which Power Ranger to arrive in Fortnite?
The Fortnite x Power Rangers crossover is particularly said to focus on the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team. It is the team that first started the legendary superhero franchise. During an Xbox Era podcast, co-host and credible leaker Nick Baker aka “Shpeshal Nick” stated that Epic Games plans on introducing the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers team as playable characters “soon” in Fortnite.
However, Baker is still unsure about some of the finer details. These include details about the exact date of the crossover as well as the exact characters.
Notably, Power Rangers is very similar to some of the other franchises Fortnite has crossed over with. It features a massive cast of characters that Fortnite could use to create skins in the games if the original six Power Ranger skins turn successful.
That’s all that is known about the original Power Rangers being added to Fortnite from the rumors. It must be remembered that these are still rumors and must be taken with a grain of salt. Players are advised to await official announcements from the developers.
