Jedi Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) https://www.gameinformer.com/2019/01/22/a-new-power-rangers-fighting-game-is-on-the-way Quote Hasbro revealed today that a new game set in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers universe is will be released in 2019. Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid is fighting game due out in April 2019 for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch. The game is due out on PC at a later date. Battle For The Grid will feature rangers and villains "past and present" from the popular show. There will be cross-play on Xbox One, Switch, and PC. Looks like it's based on the mobile game and they made it a proper fighter. Looks like it could be fun. Edited March 4, 2019 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Mmm, I'm not convinced. Maybe if I see more gameplay where both combatants are creating a chorus of "Ee-yah! Hiyah! Ee-yah!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancingDanny Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Yeah, I'm gonna a wait till I see more as well! I tried the mobile game, and while I feel like it's a pretty good game, I'm not big on it cuz of the controls... :( Touch controls and I don't get along too well! XD I really hope it will have a decent amount of content as well... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 The legendary Justin Wong is helping out with this game, which is a big deal of news for any Fighting game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthR0xas Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 If I was still into Power Rangers, this would probably be the coolest thing since sliced bread. But I'm not, and this isn't. That said, looks kinda fun, fighting games outside of Smash really aren't my jam, but I played some kind of Power Rangers mobile game a while back that I enjoyed. I dunno, haven't followed the series since Megaforce, although from what I hear I haven't missed much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you ever did wanna catch up with PR stuff, i'd say watch Linkara's History of Power Rangers stuff, I think he's past Megaforce now on those (and he kind of loathed Megaforce).

Funny enough I actually watched Linkara's HOPR but never the main series. I think the only PR i finished is RPM back then lol. Finished a couple of Sentais though On an unrelated note i just realized the guy who played in a movie i watched near the end of last year is actually Dino Charge Blue. Him not having that long caveman hair throws me out of loop The real question of this game is how many Tommy is there going to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Bumping with some new info https://gonintendo.com/stories/327051-power-rangers-battle-for-the-grid-info-on-gameplay-features-c?fbclid=IwAR15Ahu7mSON8aM6HRaLnc4q3TP7BiZwjGBO3FebJk5E2Klo5hQUBJ5uAVw Quote - the game is not a mobile port, and a straight mobile port was never considered - visuals were built from the ground-up - gameplay controls are in line with a traditional fighter - you have full control of everyone on your team, three vs. three - use them for an assist attack or full-on swap out to take full control - uses the Unity engine - the game has been in development for a year - controls allow for both simple combos and freeform combos of your own - the devs plan to release new characters after launch - moves/attacks take inspiration from the show - there are a lot of surprises coming up in the next few weeks that fans should be very excited about - fighting takes place on a 2D plane - currently, the only way you'll only be able to get skins through DLCs, but that's still being decided upon - Season One Pass will include 3 fighters, an Arcade story, and a new warrior skin - those 3 fighters will be launched as time passes, and not all on day one - game includes a full training and practice mode - cross-play between Switch, Xbox One, and PC - the team is hoping to add in PS4 cross-platform support later down the line - includes a ranked mode, as well as a leaderboard - you'll also be able to easily play with friends online - characters will hit poses after long strings of combos/attacks that reflect what they do in the TV shows - includes a new selection of grabs as well - you have access to a standing guard and a low guard - stages will be based around a lot of the environments told within story mode, but they do not have interactive elements - there will be 15 fighters at launch, with the following revealed so far Mighty Morphin Red/Jason Mighty Morphin Green/Tommy -Green Ranger V2 skin Megaforce Yellow/Gia Lord Drakkon/Evil Tommy -Lord Drakkon Evo II skin Pink Ranger/Kimberly (suspected to be Ranger Slayer) - Mighty Morphin Pink skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
