Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind announced

Today, Hasbo and Digital Eclipse unveiled Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind. Switch hasn’t been confirmed specifically, but it’s coming to consoles and Digital Eclipse tends to put all of its content on Nintendo’s console.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is a retro-inspired action game based on the famous television show. The game promises a fresh adventure with an original storyline that both respects and remixes the lore with scenarios and gameplay that will be both familiar and new to MMPR fans.

We’ve got more information in the following overview:

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.

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.

Will the two Ritas and their army of monstrous enemies from across the MMPR timeline finally succeed in destroying the Power Rangers? Or will these teenagers with attitude learn to work together and counter this catastrophic chronological collaboration?

Eugene Evans, SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing at Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, said today: “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.
