you’re able to celebrate everything that is the 1990s on August 22, 2025, whenMighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewindlaunches across PC and consoles, developer Digital Eclipse announced Tuesday.
The game, which wasannouncedduringSummer Game Fest 2024, is now available for preorder across all platforms:PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4,Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One,Steam, and Nintendo Switch for $35.
Digital Eclipse is known for its remaster-museum games likeThe Making of Karatekaand the upcomingTetris Forever.Rita’s Rewindis a bit of a direction shift for the studio, as it’s a more modern brawler with a retro bent. What starts off as a classic 2D beat-’em-up raises the stakes by letting you actually pilot a Megazord in epic boss battles reminiscent of the TV show by transitioning to a 3D Z-axis perspective.Then, once you defeat the first boss, it’ll shift into a 2.5D fighting game.
In aPlayStation Blog post, Digital Eclipse said the game came out of wanting to make theMighty Morphin Power Rangers16-bit arcade game that the fans never got. The game will take you through scenes and familiar moments from the show thanks to Rita’s new time travel abilities, so it’s both a twist on classic genres and a nostalgic flashback.
“Our goal withRita’s Rewindis to make a game that could have existed, and certainly should have existed, but probably wouldn’t have existed with all this variety in one place,” the post reads.
As for all these gameplay styles, the studio’s content editor wrote that it wanted to change up the repetitive nature of side-scrolling brawlers.Rita’s Rewindis still around 70% beat-’em-up, but it wanted to verify players wouldn’t get bored.
“Mixing all these different genres felt like the right thing to do to keepRita’s Rewindperpetually fresh, but it was a heck of a lot of fun for us, too,” the post reads. “We’re hoping that mixing in racing, blasting, and punching will makeRita’s Rewinda thrill for players who have always dreamed about what Jason, Trini, Zack, Billy, and Kimberly’s game would have been like had they walked into an arcade in the mid-1990s.”
