StoryToys partners with Saban Brands to release Power Rangers Dino Charge Rumble, a high-octane game based on the new season of the iconic television series

Dublin, Ireland – August 27th, 2015 – StoryToys and Saban Brands today announced the release of Power Rangers Dino Charge Rumble, a 3D game for tablets and mobile phones integrating original comic book animation. Designed for Power Rangers fans of all ages to enjoy, the app is available from August 27th on the App Store, and is coming very soon to Google Play.

First launched in 1993, Saban’s Power Rangers quickly became the most-watched children’s television program in the United States and remains one of the top-rated and longest running children’s action series in television history. The winning formula combines action, adventure, humor and heart with themes of teamwork, fitness, friendship and helping others.

Power Rangers Dino Charge Rumble is a brand-new app based on the latest Power Rangers TV season, which returns to a dinosaur theme, one of the most popular themes throughout the history of the franchise. The app presents an original Power Rangers Dino Charge story in a 2D comic strip narrative, combined with stunning 3D ‘battles’ between the Rangers and their alien opponents. Rangers, villains, Megazords and more are featured in the game where players can battle the evil Sledge and his monster army with simple taps and easy swipes. Players can also master all the Ranger moves, choose between a range of weapons or giant robots towering over the city and control different Megazord formations in a clash with super-sized villains. There are seven chapters with over 20 levels to explore and master.

Additionally, the game engine adapts to reflect the playing ability of the user. The ease-of-use and contact-free action make this app suitable for even the youngest of fans, while dramatic visual effects and animations combined with a sophisticated comic book and mini games ensure that it will also have strong appeal for older fans.

“Saban’s Power Rangers is one of the world’s most popular and enduring children’s brands, and we’re thrilled to have partnered with Saban Brands to create a fresh and innovative experience for fans of all ages,” said Barry O’Neill, CEO of StoryToys.

WHO: Saban’s Power Rangers

WHEN:  Thursday, August 6 – Sunday, August 9

WHERE: Ashton Court Estate, Bristol, England

WHAT: For the first time ever Saban’s Power Rangers participated in the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. As one of the largest balloon festivals in the world, an estimated 500,000 spectators were in attendance and watching as more than 100 hot air balloons took to the skies during the four-day celebration. Saban’s Power Rangers debuted two brand-new Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers balloons at the festival’s Night Glow event on Thursday evening. As the only brand with two balloons featured in the event, the Power Rangers balloons were designed in the likeness of the iconic Red and Pink Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers helmets. Visitors of the festival were also able to watch the Power Rangers balloon teams prep, inflate, launch and land the POWERED UP balloons throughout the remaining three days of the event.

“The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is a weekend of non-stop family fun, which is a perfect fit for Saban’s Power Rangers brand,” said Gustavo Antonioni, Managing Director, Consumer Products EMEA at Saban Brands. “The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers are a pop-culture phenomenon and fans of all ages loved seeing the larger-than-life Red and Pink Ranger balloons flying high in the sky.”

U.K. fans can tune-in to Saban’s Power Rangers Super Megaforce airing daily on POP at 8:30 a.m. and Kix at 12 p.m. The all-new season, Power Rangers Dino Charge, will debut August 31 at 7:30 a.m. on POP.
