Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind getting “morphers”, expanded online multiplayer, more

Digital Eclipse today revealed details about update plans for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, including news about “morphers” and expanded online multiplayer.

With the first new update, which is coming soon to Nintendo Switch, no two playthroughs will be the same. Aside from “morphers”, there’ll be a new skill point system, Power Blast, and ground recover.

Below are the full details:

• Upgradeable Rangers: Digital Eclipse is implementing a new skill point system that lets you adjust your preferred Ranger’s strength, defense, and speed. This gives each character variety while also allowing every fan to make their favorite Rangers exactly play how they want them to play.
• Morphers: These special modifiers change up things like gravity, speed, and more. Plus, if you want to play Rita’s Rewind as it was at launch (with all Rangers being equally capable), that option is available, too. Mix and match for some seriously silly fun in your battles.
• Power Blast: Finding yourself swamped with Robo Rita’s many minions? Use Power Blast to knock them back in exchange for a chunk of your health bar. No reward without risk, but it’ll certainly help turn the tide of chaotic battles.
• Ground Recovery: With a properly timed button press, a hero who has been knocked back by an enemy attack can recover quickly and start attacking again, as opposed to landing on the ground and then needing to get up. This should keep the pace of those brawls at maximum speed!

The next update will follow this spring. Digital Eclipse intends to expand online multiplayer in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind by allowing six players to play on six separate machines using a peer-to-peer connection. This is an upgrade from the original functionality that supported three players on two separate consoles for a total of six online players.
