For those eagerly awaiting Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind on the Nintendo Switch, there’s a bit of a wait in store. The game’s Switch release has been pushed back to December 19, just a slight hiccup from the initial December 10 launch date. Meanwhile, the game is all set to roll out on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox as planned.
This brief delay aside, 2024 hasn’t been the most eventful year for the Power Rangers, but Hasbro and Digital Eclipse rekindled interest with a June announcement during the 2024 Summer Games Fest. The game is a trip back to the ’90s with its retro side-scrolling beat-em-up style and includes some cool modern elements like 3D Megazord battles and rail shooter sequences. The story borrows from the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Once and Always reunion special. Robo Rita, the notorious villain, travels back in time to team up with her past self and attempts to wipe out the Rangers.
Unfortunately, the excitement for the Switch release was slightly dented this week when Digital Eclipse announced it would be delayed due to unforeseen circumstances. However, patient fans don’t have to wait long—just until December 19.
Talking about Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind’s launch timeline, the date for PlayStation, Steam, and Xbox remains December 10, 2024, while Switch users will join the party nine days later.
In terms of gameplay, you might have to wait a bit longer for online play on Xbox and Nintendo Switch due to ongoing technical issues. This doesn’t impede two-player co-op on the PlayStation and Steam consoles or the offline multiplayer modes available across all platforms. Gather your friends, as the game supports local co-op for up to five players, allowing teams to tackle the action as classic Power Rangers or the coveted Green Ranger.
Fans of the iconic Power Rangers have been eagerly biding their time for nearly six months to revisit the nostalgic thrills promised by Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers. If Rita’s Rewind does well, it might spark interest in games inspired by newer seasons of the show. For now, Switch users have to hang tight for those extra days before diving into this morphinominal adventure.
In this intriguing venture, players face Robo Rita, who, alongside her younger self, messes with the timeline, threatening to rewrite history by stopping the formation of the Rangers. The game offers experience the origins of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers anew. Engaging with past moments, the game throws players into a chaotic collaboration between two Ritas and an army of adversaries from the Power Rangers saga.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind promises to be a thrilling addition to the franchise, creating a scene where players rediscover the essence of the Power Rangers. December holds anticipation, and despite a small hiccup for Switch fans, there’s much to look forward to when it finally unfolds.
