While it’s currently only confirmed for PC, developer Digital Eclipse has said that its retro-inspired 16-bit beat-‘em-up Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind will also come to consoles. While it didn’t specify exactly which ones, it’s probably safe to assume given PlayStation’s popularity that PS5 and PS4 will be likely candidates.
As for the game itself, it just looks fantastic. There are side-scrolling levels like on the SNES or SEGA Genesis, mixed with Space Harrier-style scrolling shooter stages. According to the developer, the game has “an original storyline that both respects and remixes Power Rangers lore with scenarios and gameplay that will be both familiar and new to [Power Rangers] fans”.
This was comfortably one of the best announcements at Summer Game Fest, perhaps only let down by the dismally disappointing animated cutscenes, which don’t match the style and quality of the artwork in the main game. Nevertheless, we can forgive the foray some crappy cinematics if the core retro gameplay is on point. Go, go, Power Rangers!

Yesssssssssssssss! Let's gooooooooooo! I love the old Power Rangers games on SNES/Mega Drive!
Time stamp is in the future? It's ,07:58 but article says today 08:15 lol
@rusty82 Magic!
Power Rangers game = goat. I am huge fan and its been a while since the previous game.
@get2sammyb witchcraft
Ah yes, unconfirmed console, one of the greatest systems of all time.
Looks amazing, best surprise of the show, definitely getting this. Hopefully a physical release day one
@rusty82 The Morphing Grid exits in past, present and future!
Hoping for a physical PS5 release, will be there day one.
Was never a fan of PR back in the day but this looks pretty cool. Gave me Shredders revenge vibes to statr with but with added level styles. Looks great.
Oh damn that looks very passionate
Loved Power Rangers as a kid, so this was the most exciting announcement from that show and it's nice to see a mixture of gameplay styles
It looks like the new TMNT game which is a good start but if it actually plays like it then we're on to a winner. Keeping everything crossed it gets the feel right.
Its Might Morphin Time!!!!!! I've got everything crossed for it to be good. Because you cant beat the SNES game back in the day, doing half the level and then morphin, I used to lose my sh** when it happened because I didn't think video games could do that, blew my mind.
I mean still a retro so its one step closer to my dream of having a full blown triple A third person action game of the original power rangers.
I mean we are getting a true TMNT triple A game so my dreams aren't lost yet.
@Bez87 i will have to check out that snes game you mentioned now.
The best power rangers game by far is beats of power
This was easily my game of the stream. ITS MORPHIN TIME!
This actually looks amazing.the last time i play mighty morphin power Rangers was for the sega genesis and it was excellent.mighty morphin power Rangers ritas rewind looks like the classic retro video games i used to play all the times in the early 1990s.word up son
Damn this looks amazing, you can tell the developers poured everything they had.
@Kidfunkadelic83 its actually regarded as one of the best. But that could be due to the lack of any good power ranger games.
I did used to have it on an emulator on PC.
But have a look I mean these days it won't feel that great but back then, aa a kid playing at normal Jason going through the school grounds fighting putties and then things got intense then they would morph, I thought it was incredible that a game could do that.
It was like a game called cruise for a corpse.
On a cruise ship and you had to investigate a murder and you had to meet people at a certain time and time advanced once you solved or spoke to someone, blew my mind.
And the one what truly blew my mind was flashback, if you made it through the first areas and you could go in a subway and I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact you could actually get on the train and travel different places hahaha.
An era most kids will never experience, because games now do all that and more off the bat and we expect them to.
I am definitely looking forward to this. I am disappointed there are no AAA Power Rangers games, though.
I'm sure I'm.the minority here, but it's 2024 - can 'better' games than this be made for this era, please?
Feels like a cheap cash-grab - no thanks.
please ignore my avatar lol
