The concept stems from a robotic reincarnation of Rita fittingly called Robo-Rita, which travels back in time and tries to stop the Rangers from succeeding. “Working together, Robo-Rita and Rita Repulsa rewind, rewrite, and remix the past in an attempt to stop the very formation of the Power Rangers, altering the course of history,” said the press release.
As the game’s debut trailer reveals, there will be a constant shifting of video game genres mixed into the game. Supporting up to five players between online and offline co-op, there is a classic beat-em-up, an on-rails shooter while riding a bike, and a first-person section with a boss fight as you’re controlling the Megazord.
