Digital Eclipse has announced a major update for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind.

The update will release later this week, and will add a number of new features to the game, including an upgrade system, modifier options, special moves, and more. Online multiplayer is also set to be expanded to six players this Spring.

You can check out a summary of the key additions below:

This Week

• Upgradeable Rangers – Digital Eclipse is implementing a new skill point system that lets you adjust your preferred Ranger’s strength, defense, and speed. This gives each character variety while also allowing every fan to make their favorite Rangers exactly play how they want them to play.
• Morphers – These special modifiers change up things like gravity, speed, and more. Plus, if you want to play Rita’s Rewind as it was at launch (with all Rangers being equally capable), that option is available, too. Mix and match for some seriously silly fun in your battles.
• Power Blast – Finding yourself swamped with Robo Rita’s many minions? Use Power Blast to knock them back in exchange for a chunk of your health bar. No reward without risk, but it’ll certainly help turn the tide of chaotic battles.
• Ground Recovery – With a properly timed button press, a hero who has been knocked back by an enemy attack can recover quickly and start attacking again, as opposed to landing on the ground and then needing to get up. This should keep the pace of those brawls at maximum speed!

This Spring

Digital Eclipse is significantly expanding online multiplayer functionality. Previously, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind supported three players on two separate consoles for a total of six online players. In this new update, six players will each be able to play on six separate machines using a peer-to-peer connection.
