Digital Eclipse claimed that the release date of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind will be before the end of 2024, and the developer has made it happen. The beat-em-up is coming out on December 10 of this year. The upcoming side-scroller title was originally revealed during the Summer Game Fest of 2024, and it was a big deal for fans of the Power Rangers games of yore.
But the promise of a 2024 release was looking a bit too optimistic with only two months remaining, but Digital Eclipse managed to keep its promise. Its December 10 release is the ideal time as the start of 2025 is quite competitive with a lot of heavy-hitters ready for release.
The release date announcement for Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind comes from a new trailer that just came out (which you can watch below) that shows more gameplay, but not anything we didn’t already see in the initial reveal trailer. It shows more gameplay levels that look great and also reveals a little information about Tommy Oliver’s role.
Since the release date of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is so close, pre-orders have already gone live, and you can place yours for $34.99 for PlayStation and Steam right now. According to the developer, you’ll be able to pre-order on both Xbox and Nintendo consoles fairly soon but didn’t announce exactly when.
Those who have the option to play on Steam should because pre-ordering on PC will get you a 15% discount. It isn’t likely that these same discounts will be available on consoles like Xbox Series S|X and the Nintendo Switch.
This continues to show that the side-scrolling beat-em-up genre isn’t a relic of the past, with games like Streets of Rage 4, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, and Battletoads continuing to keep the classic style of games alive.
