Ever since the popular battle royale shooting game Fortnite added Snake-Eyes from G.I. Joe a couple of years ago (along with a special edition Snake-Eyes Fortnite figure from Hasbro), insiders and fans have speculated and even predicted that the Power Rangers would one day become part of Fortnite.  And after years of hype and letdowns, the rumors have come true.

The Chapter 6 Season 4 update for Fortnite – coming August 7th 2025 – will feature the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (alongside Halo).  Exact details are still unknown as of the time of this story but verified leakers have stated that the core five Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Red, Black, Blue, Yellow, and Pink) will be available, with the popular Green Ranger (and White Ranger) coming via the Season Battle Pass.  The Dino Megazord is also suggested to be available in September and will likely play into Fortnite‘s story.

Fortnite is a free-to-play online battle royale shooting game by Epic Games and is arguably one of the most successful and profitable games of all time.  The release coincides with the release of both the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Re-Ignition toy line and 4K remastered show on Netflix.

Check out the trailer below.

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.

The popular J-RPG tactical series Super Robot Wars has another released planned – Super Robot Wars 30 – celebrating its 30th anniversary.  Included in this 30th anniversary is none other than SSSS Gridman!

Here are the details of the game:

30 years on, the battle for our world’s future continues.

Super Robot Wars is a tactical RPG that brings characters and robots from a variety of mecha anime together to battle their mutual foes.

Players follow characters through adventure and battle. Take control of giant robots on a battle map, commanding them to defeat their enemies.

The battle switches between ally and enemy phases. Once the player has moved and attacked with their robots, the enemy takes their turn. When all enemies have been defeated, the game proceeds to an Intermission.

During Intermission, the player can use resources earned in battle to train pilots, upgrade robots, and earn bonuses for their army. They then can proceed to the next chapter of the adventure.

In Super Robot Wars, players can enjoy a unique experience that combines all-star mecha series crossovers, action-packed attack animations, and the chance to upgrade your favorite machines and pilots.
