Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind has been announced
The Power Rangers are now 30 years old and in celebration of that Hasbro has tapped retro specialists Digital Eclipse to create Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind. This is an all-new retro inspired action game that has you brawl, blast, fight, and drive through a constantly shifting mix of classic game genres and fan-favourite moments from the series.
A new story with a familiar foe…In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, the team faces off against a robotic reincarnation of the Power Rangers' long-time nemesis. Robo-Rita has conjured a portal to send herself back in time so she can finally vanquish the Power Rangers by forming an alliance with her younger self. Working together, Robo-Rita and Rita Repulsa rewind, rewrite, and remix the past in an attempt to stop the very formation of the Power Rangers, altering the course of history.
“As we celebrate over 30 years of POWER RANGERS, we are excited to collaborate with Digital Eclipse to introduce Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind to our passionate fanbase. We created Hasbro Retro Arcade to deliver a modern take on old-school arcade action based on our world-class brands and characters. This further illustrates our strategy to grow our digital games portfolio through licensing and internal development and we can’t wait for fans’ reactions when revisiting iconic moments through this new, yet retro, gameplay.”
Online and offline co-op gameplay allows up to five simultaneous players to morph into their Power Ranger of choice and even pilot their powerful Zords. A high-energy synth soundtrack will keep their adrenaline pumping as they battle a host of familiar enemies, but with some unexpected twists.
Right now the game is only confirmed for PC, but that might change as we get closer to the games release date, whatever that is.
