The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind release date is 10th December 2024, the developer has confirmed.

Unfortunately, the Nintendo Switch version of the game has seen a tiny delay, and will launch on 19th December 2024, not the 10th.

The Switch delay was "due to an unforeseen circumstance", as was confirmed in a news update on the Digital Eclipse website.

Oh well, at least the Switch delay is for nine days only.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind gameplay and story details

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is a retro throwback beat ‘em up as if it were lifted right from the early 1990s.

If you loved the Power Rangers as a '90s kid, you’ll probably love this game.

As the official website puts it, "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is an all-new adventure with an original storyline that both respects and remixes Power Rangers lore with scenarios and gameplay that will be both familiar and new to MMPR fans.

"Players will brawl, blast, fight, and drive through a constantly shifting mix of classic game genres and fan-favourite moments from the series."

You can check out its gameplay in the official gameplay trailer below to see what you can expect:

The game can be played in local and online co-op if single-player isn’t your thing.

It is worth noting, though, that "online play will support two players on PlayStation and Steam, and will not be enabled for the Xbox and Nintendo Switch versions at launch".

In better news, the developer is intent on fixing the situation, adding that "we expect to have two-player online play for those platforms available within a few weeks followed by support for additional players for all versions soon after".

It’s time to put an end to Robo-Rita and Rita Repulsa herself in this time-travelling retro-inspired adventure.
