Epic Games drops a colossal twist: a towering Megazord Mythic lands in Fortnite, pairing unstoppable power with a first-ever reveal that reshapes the Battle Royale meta.
While Epic has continued to make some mitigating changes to the gameplay meta and loot pool, players are excited about the Megazord mythic that was teased in the gameplay trailer. Since the mythic wasn’t released at launch, players have been anticipating its release, and now Epic has finally announced when it will be added to the Battle Royale.
Fortnite Megazord Mythic is Just Weeks Away, and Players Cannot Wait for Chaos
Fortnite players buzz with excitement as leaks point to the Megazord Mythic mecha dropping in just weeks, promising massive destruction across the Battle Royale island. Epic Games teased a first look at the towering robot, sparking wild speculation on its abilities like stomping squads and firing devastating beams. Communities flood with hype, debating loadouts and strategies to pilot this beast amid the chaos it will bring to matches.
According to Epic, the Dino Megazord costume and related mythic item are planned to be released on September 16, 2025, until October 3. Epic Games verified the mid-season announcement via an Twitter and in-game date changes.

Battle Pass holders (premium track required for 1,000 V-Bucks) can begin unlocking the towering robo-amalgam with exclusive quests on that date. These challenges, similar to Season 3’s Superman mythic, will include Power Rangers-themed objectives such as combating bug swarms at new POIs like Rangers Ruin or looting with O.X.R. Drop Pods. Completing them gradually unlocks the Dino Megazord skin, back bling, and a Power Sword pickaxe.
Furthermore, players will also be able to claim a Power Rangers medallion that will spawn randomly during a Battle Royale match, and the first player to claim it will turn into the giant mech monster himself. While Epic has not made it clear how often the mythic will spawn, leakers speculate it’s going to work similarly to the Godzilla mythic.
