Live-action Power Rangers production resurfaces, this time as a Fortnite promotional piece
Fortnite Collaborates with Power Rangers for Shock 'N Awesome Season
Epic Games has announced the next season of Fortnite, titled "Shock 'N Awesome", which is set to launch on August 7, 2025[1]. This season brings a thrilling collaboration with the Power Rangers, as the Mighty Morphin' team makes their way to Fortnite[2].
The Power Rangers skins in this season are now available in the Item Shop, with the full Power Rangers skin bundle, including all five primary Rangers and additional accessories, priced at 3,600 V-Bucks[4]. Each individual ranger skin can be purchased separately for 1,200 V-Bucks, and pickaxes that come with the skins are available for 500 V-Bucks each[4].
The Green Ranger/White Ranger (Tommy Oliver) skin is included as the tier 100 Battle Pass skin for the season, meaning players can unlock it early by buying the Battle Pass[1][3]. Some Power Rangers skins like Red and Pink are occasionally available to obtain for free through in-game events or challenges[3][5].
The trailer for the Power Rangers collaboration is a '90s-nostalgia-bomb live-action trailer, featuring the Red, Yellow, and Blue Rangers in action[7]. The trailer also hints at the Rangers battling bugs, suggesting that players will have to contend with more than just each other during gameplay[6].
The Shock 'N Awesome season is themed around a bug invasion, with the game's island setting undergoing an insectoid invasion[1][2][3]. This collaboration marks the first major event for the new season, following the successful Godzilla collaboration in previous seasons.
In the midseason event, players will have the opportunity to "power up" as the Megazord, similar to the Godzilla collaboration[8]. The Dino Megazord skin can be unlocked through quests for owners of the seasonal battle pass from September 16[9].
This collaboration is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season for Fortnite players. While the release dates for other popular franchises like Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, DC Universe, and Doctor Who are not yet known, fans can look forward to more exciting collaborations in the future.
