I spent a lot of time playing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Like, a lot. Thanks to Digital Eclipse, I’ll be able to head right back into the world in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, announced Friday at Summer Game Fest.
The Power Rangers will once again take on Rita — and Rita. You see, Robo Rita from the future went back in time to fight alongside her younger self to defeat the Power Rangers. “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,” Digital Eclipse said in a news release.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind trailer puts the five fighters in a whole bunch of scenarios, fighting a whole bunch of putties and other enemies in different locations: on the street, in the arcade, on the roof, at the carnival (on a rollercoaster!), and on motorcycles. And yes, you can morph. It looks sick, and with the iconic music, it looks like it’ll evoke the same feelings of the original retro games.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind will have both online and offline co-op with up to five players. It’s expected out on Windows PC and console in late 2024. (The specific consoles weren’t specified.)
