Not one to rest on their laurels, yesterday (originally announced yesterday by IGN), nWay announced the first details on Season 4 for the game, and will be adding three brand new characters from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Dino Charge into the game over the next few months on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

Season 4 will contain:

  • Adam Park – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers – Releasing September 21st
    • Originally a student at Stone Canyon, Adam impressed Zordon and the other Rangers with his martial arts prowess and has served as both the Black Ranger and Green Zeo Ranger. His fluid fighting style blends lightning-quick strikes with cunning warps that put him in perfect position for combos or mix ups to keep opponents off balance. Actor Johnny Yong Bosch will reprise his on-screen role of Adam Park in the game!

  •  Poisandra – Power Rangers Dino Charge – Releasing November 16th
    • An ancient bounty hunter who’s over 65 million years old, Poisandra is a sweet and deadly mix of power and grace. While not a pure villain, Poisandra and her husband Sledge have crossed paths with the Rangers numerous times in the pursuit of their bounties. She punishes opponents with her heart-shaped lance and booby-trapped sweets, with her husband Sledge offering several assist moves.

  • Rita Repulsa – Mighty Morphin Power Rangers – Releasing December 14th
    • She is an evil master of magic bent on conquering the universe. Earth has resisted her goal for millennia, thanks to Zordon and the Rangers. From the Moon Palace, Rita surveils the planet and hatches schemes with Lord Zedd, her partner in villainy and romance.
    • As part of Rita’s release, there was a December 2021 Patch – details are located at the Battle for the Grid website.

  • Helmetless Doggie Anubis Cruger Skin
    • Fight as Anubis Cruger wearing his iconic formal helmetless attire from Power Rangers: SPD. This skin is exclusive to the Season 4 bundle.

  • New Gravezord Summon – Available November 16th
    • The Gravezord first appeared in Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers #9 comic book, published by BOOM! Studios. It was cobbled together from damaged and destroyed Zords from the World of the Coinless, a dimension ravaged by Ranger Slayer and Lord Drakkon, where surviving Rangers hold out without the aid of their Power Coins. This will be a free download for all players.

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 11

On Wednesday, September 15th, Power Rangers Issue 11 will be released from Boom Studios. Our exclusive first look of this issue was shown last month.

Will the Omega Rangers be able to enlist the last Emissary to help to defeat the Empyreals? The Omega Rangers attempt to question the enigmatic Yellow Emissary, who may know the secret of the Empyreals’ undoing. But even if they can convince the Yellow Emissary to help, it may be too late if Drakkon isn’t on the same page…  The fate of the Omega Rangers and the Yellow Emissary hang in the balance as they all fight for their lives!

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

“Power Rangers issue 11 is another big step into the next phase of the comic series. With the task of wrapping up the ‘Unlimited Power’ arc, and laying the groundwork for the upcoming ‘Eltarian War’, Power Rangers issue 11 has a lot riding on it, but it delivers. As seen in the preview, the Omega Rangers are seeking the guidance of the Yellow Emissary, but he sends them a warning instead. 

What happens in the rest of the issue is pretty crazy, with some revelations I should have seen coming, but was still shocking. If you seen future solicitation covers, you’ll know. We learn some new information about the origin of the Empyreals and the Omega Rangers are caught up to speed on what’s happening with Zartus. 

The Empyreals being evil counterpoints to the Emissaries is not new in terms of literature. The balance of good and evil in fiction has been explored many ways, but the cosmic forces in Power Rangers have not been explored in great detail. The big twist in this issue makes sense when you are dealing with gods that wield immense power. Writer Ryan Parrott has tied things full circle and the slow burn story-telling is finally paying off. Artist Francesco Mortarino continues to do a phenomenal job on the series. 

Once again, if you have been reading the series you’re not going to stop – or at least you shouldn’t with an important issue like this. Pick this one up next Wednesday!”

COMIC REVIEW – Mighty Morphin Issue 11

On Wednesday, September 9th, Mighty Morphin Issue 11 will be released from Boom Studios. A first look of this issue was shown last month.

As the Power Rangers and their new allies, the Eltarian Guardians, prepare to rescue Candice from Lord Zedd, elements of Zordon’s past begin to collide with the present. Will old loyalties and rivalries lead Zordon, and in turn the Power Rangers, into ruin? Or will they be able to right the wrongs of the past and save Earth in the process?

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

With last month’s huge reveal that Zophram of Eltar became Lord Zedd, this issue opens up with another flashback directly after those events. I am glad to see that the flashback have shifted to Lord Zedd’s creation. This is as much his story as Zordon’s. I love the art in this flashback because it feels slightly different from the rest of this issue with a darker color scheme from Walter Baiamonte, Katia Ranalli and Sara Antonellini. Marco Renna continues to impress with the visuals. This whole issue visits a number of locations, including an Eltarian ship commanded by Zartus. The details packed into these locations is impressive, as is the rest of the issue artistically.

As seen in the first look, we are also introduced to Sentry Force Four: Zenith, Zero-Zero, Zeta and Zag. These are Supreme Guardian Zartus’ elite unit of warriors. This issue is packed with information and we do get introduced to these characters fairly quickly, but in an effective manner to get to know a bit of their personalities. My personal favorite is Zero-Zero, but I know a lot of people will enjoy Zag as well. You’ll have to read the issue to find out why!

Overall, Ryan Parrott is crafting a real epic with the first year of this story. The next phase, the Eltarian War, starts with issue 13 in November and if this issue is any indication, we are in for some massive developments. I am enjoying the build up now that the pieces are falling into place and seeing where the battle lines are drawn. I can not wait for more!”

COMIC REVIEW – Power Rangers Issue 10

On Wednesday, August 18th, Power Rangers Issue 10 will be released from Boom Studios. Our exclusive first look of this issue was shown last month.

POWER RANGERS #10 – Yale, the Omega Rangers’ alien companion, embarks on a solo mission to protect a group of kids from the terrors of Safehaven. Guided by the voice of the Blue Emissary, Yale will travel closer to his destiny… but what does this mean for the Omega Rangers?

Host Eric (@trekkieb47) had a chance to read the issue in advance and shares his review:

“Much like Mighty Morphin issue 10, Power Rangers issue 10 is a milestone issue focusing on the origins of a key character while informing future arcs of the story. The focus is entirely on Yale this go around. Yale has been the companion of the Omega Rangers since the start of the new Power Rangers series.

In the first issue of Power Rangers, it was implied that the Omega Rangers let out Yale because he was no longer empowered. However, in this issue we get a flashback to the events of Necessary Evil where we see Kiya release Yale from confinement. We also see other key points in Yale’s life that let us know the troubles he has endured which also reference other past issues of the comic. 

Since Yale does not speak, most of this is narrated by the spirit of the Blue Emissary and feels like a closing chapter for that character. The other side of the issue focuses on some of the children of Safehaven we’ve seen before. How the two stories combine and what happens to elevate Yale to his ‘destiny’ is really brilliant. The writing team of both Ryan Parrott and newcomer to the franchise, Rachel Wagner, makes for a strong outing that makes me wish we didn’t have to wait another month.

Artist Moisés Hidalgo takes over the duties of illustrating from Francesco Mortarino for this issue, continuing his Yale focused pages from issue 9. It’s a nice visual continuity that makes Yale’s journey feel like a bedtime story. The soft lines and shading really work the the colors of Raúl Angulo to achieve that look.

There’s not much more to say without spoiling the issue, so definitely pick this one up when it drops next week!”
