A trailer has appeared from an anonymous source from 4chan (so take it with a grain of salt. The trailer shows smoother models from the Power Ranger Legacy War mobile game, and features Jason David Frank (knowing Jason's passion for the fanbase, I don't think he'd hold back on revealing a fan project considering he's not typically under contract from fans). The title screen at the end also has the brand logo for "Hasbaro" (who currently owns the rights to all Power Rangers media and properties), Lionsgate who has the rights to the Power Rangers films and nWay who is the company responsible for "Legacy Wars".

Yeah I read about that recently, seems this is based on a mobile ver.?
Yeah it is I play the mobile version and it APPEARS to play the same although the models are smoother, more detailed. However the fighters in the game (Red Ranger and Green Ranger) used some moves unfamiliar to me.

Just as an update for people interested in playing. All versions are up for pre-order. It seems PS4 is the only platform that will not be crossplay.

However it sees if you preorder the XboxOne version you get a token to give to a friend to play or use yourself. Unsure if thats an extra game code or whatnot.

For those wondering, Drakkon is from the comic series which I've heard is good, more so if you're a fan of the (original) PR series.

I'm not reading the comic anytime soon but I find it hilarious how some characters in the game have moves from SNK fighters, like Drakkon Rugal's genocide cutter


...and Green Ranger has this

As someone who watched some of the mighty morphin movies as a kid but wasn't super into it, this seems potentially really cool. Really affordable too. Recently learning about the Kyoru history has been interesting too.

Meh, should make an action game instead, something musou-like or fate extella link-like or even neptunia 4 goddesses online-like or whatever. You know what I mean, not necessarily huge budget stuff. I don't see the point in a fighting game where most of the roster is rangers that will kick each other's butt. Why not at least make it like a Vs style game and use all kinds of crazy bad guys? Kamen Rider got some musou-like games I believe. The musou formula would fit the rangers with all kinds of mooks to own and fill up your special gauges to then pummel some man-size boss before it grows gigantic so you can have a spectacular godzilla scale battle with their robot thing. Also I was never into this stuff much but that green ranger theme he plays still feels nostalgic, haha.

I assume this is just a mobile port. If that’s the case it’s barely a fighting game. You have 3 combos that are used by clicking a single button. Very basic stuff. That being said, imma buy it on switch because it’s allllways Morphin Time.

They said it wasn't a port of the mobile game, so I'm kinda interested. I also saw an EX move in the newest trailer. They really need to explain the mechanics already if it's coming out in April.

For anyone curious, here are the 9 confirmed characters so far
  1. MMPR Red
  2. Ranger Slayer*
  3. MMPR Green
  4. Lord Drakkon
  5. Mastadon Sentry (generic version of MMPR Black)
  6. Goldar
  7. Magna Defender
  8. SPD Kat Ranger
  9. Super Megaforce Yellow
*Ranger Slayer is from the comic series and will have a Pink Ranger alt. outfit (ergo it's Kimberly).
Mastadon Sentry is the name of Lord Drakkon's foot soldiers/storm troopers unit, so you're playing as a member of that unit.

Mastadon Sentry's a badass name though

After experiencing Super Sentai, it feels rather lame that there is so much focus on the PR brand going all in on the Mighty Morphin' series, esp. in the comics. The SS series moves on and the focus is on the latest series leading the SS franchise.

Right? Went from an “oh I’m gonna buy it” to “oh damn. I’m getting the season pass too”
I just want to know how long it's going to take the PC port to come out. Summer is pretty damned vague and disappointing. Only good thing is we'll probably know the season pass characters by then.

Yeah, but it's a power rangers game. I never expected any references to sentai. I didn't even expect any references to the comics.

EDIT: All they need to do is get the netcode right and with clockwork there we should be good. Should.

Genuinely curious since we're slowly approaching release. What system are people getting this game for?

I'm leaning PS4 but I might swing XboxOne since it includes a token for a copy of the game for a friend

I wish I could do PC, I know my computer would die trying to run a game
Is your PC that old? Maybe, although it may not seem like it, you would be able to run the game.
The game doesn't seem too demanding. I would guess a machine that runs Street Fighter V should run it.

Before my current PC, I had a 10 year old PC, with a 4 or 5 year old graphics cards, and even though it was below the minimum specs listed for Street Fighter V on Steam, I could run the game without problem. Obviously, your not going to be playing at 4k (I played at 1680x1050), but performance was surprisingly good, to a point where I had everything, or close to it, cranked to the max.

I’m probably going with switch just to play in bed lol
I can’t see 4K really making a difference otherwise I’d go PC

I pre-ordered the XboxOne version for the extra token, plus it crossplays with Switch and PC. If I like the game enough or have a friend who wants to play on PS4, I'll proba throw down $20 for the PS4 copy

Curious if the PC release is EGC exclusive or they plan on releasing it on all possible services :thinking-face:
Still excited for it will let my brother know to see if he wants to get it on EU PSN.

two more Rangers for the game have been revealed, increasing the roster. Mystic Force White and Zeo Gold (My personal favorite Ranger)

Nice.

The game is still up for pre-ordering at the official website, with Steam listed:

Did anyone pre-order the PC/Steam version?
The store listing doesn't show "Pre-Order Bonus: Digital Art Book" for the PC version (now, it only appears for the Xbox One version).
I was wondering if it was originally there, and then removed (so, no longer available), or if it was never present on the PC/Steam listing?

thanks

The story mode update also includes three free new fighters and voices added (for some?) of the fighters from the original actors. Seems like a pretty good update that also makes their $20 season pass of three fighters kind of questionable.

I was joking when I said the PC version wouldn't come out until the they're done with the season pass. I guess they really do plan to release it with the last season pass character or shortly after.
