The official X account of ARK: Survival Ascended has teased an upcoming collaboration with everyone’s* favorite team of Power Rangers – the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!  This comes both as a surprise as well as a no-brainer.  Fans have long theorized or even assumed that Power Rangers would make their way into Fortnite, and despite multiple rumors, nothing has ever come to fruition.

What is ARK: Survival Ascended?  The game is an action-adventure survival genre game featuring dinosaurs.  Players start on an island and have to forage, gather, and craft their way to survive.  As you progress, you can tame dinosaurs, breed dinosaurs, and eventually conquer the in-game boss(es).  The game can be played both in offline mode (for single player), or online in both PvE (players vs enemies) and PvP (player vs player) modes.  The possibilities with a Power Rangers collaboration – likely an approved mod that would change the dinosaurs to the classic Mighty Morphin style and variety – is truly endless.

The teaser includes the date of June 17th, 2024.  Stay tuned for more details.
