Fortnite’s upcoming Season 20, dubbed Shock ‘N Awesome, is set to launch on August 7th, bringing a wild new chapter to the battle royale with a high-octane crossover featuring the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers—and it’s as epic as it sounds.
The newly released live-action-style trailer throws players into a grotesquely bug-infested version of the Fortnite Island, where hordes of monstrous insects have overrun the landscape. These creatures emerged from a mysterious, Kraken-like remnant left behind after a climactic clash with Superman in last weekend’s live event—an Easter egg-filled moment that hints at deeper lore, even if it's not required to dive into the chaos.
Just when things seem dire, the iconic Red, Black, Pink, Yellow, and Blue Power Rangers descend in a flash of color and heroic energy. With their signature teamwork and iconic zords, they’re ready to fight back. But the real showstopper? The Dino Megazord, roaring into action with a dramatic reveal that instantly turns the tide. The fusion of Power Rangers’ nostalgic might and Fortnite’s over-the-top action is pure nostalgia fuel.
According to the trailer’s description:
The Battle Pass also promises an eclectic mix of iconic characters and styles:
In a separate note, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney recently refuted rumors that the much-anticipated Fortnite x Disney collaboration was delayed due to "bureaucratic hurdles." Sweeney confirmed that the Disney crossover is still on track, though no official date has been announced—keeping fans on their toes.
With the Power Rangers, the Dino Megazord, Halo Spartans, and a panda with a patch and a grudge, Season 20 is shaping up to be one of the most chaotic, nostalgic, and ridiculous seasons yet. Get ready to morph into the fight—because evil bugs and epic crossovers are coming. 🦖💥💚
