Rita's Rewind Gets New Update for December 2024

Summary

  • The December 2024 update for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind makes several adjustments to player movement.
  • The patch also tweaks and rebalances the Zord and Megazord levels.
  • The update is currently available on PC and PlayStation and will arrive on Xbox and Nintendo Switch platforms in the future.



Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind just received a new update patch for December 2024 that fine-tunes some of the old-school beat-em-up’s gameplay based on fan feedback. While there wasn’t a lot of Power Rangers news in 2024, fans of the classic characters did get a brand-new video game this month from Digital Eclipse in the form of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind. Building off last year’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always special, Rita’s Rewind sees the evil Robo-Rita travel back to 1993 to join forces with her past self to destroy the Power Rangers just as they are coming together for the first time.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind launched on December 10 for all major gaming platforms, gaining mostly positive reviews for its classic beat-em-up combat and overall nostalgic presentation that paid tribute to the entire MMPR era. However, there were plenty of critiques as well, mostly due to how all six playable Rangers basically play the same and the uneven difficulty in the 3D shooting stages that lead to Megazord battles.

Earlier this week, Digital Eclipse released the first major Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind update for December 2024. It is currently available to download on Steam and PlayStation 5, with the developers promising that it will arrive on Xbox and Nintendo Switch platforms “soon.” Digital Eclipse says that it has been gathering feedback from players since the launch of Rita’s Rewind, and promises that more news and updates will be posted in the coming weeks.



In the meantime, the recently released Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind December 2024 update makes many adjustments to player movement. All six Power Rangers (including the unlockable Green Ranger) can now walk and dash faster, dodge without any cooldown, and let go of grappled enemies while evading attacks. Health-restoring food items are now more spread out when spawning from containers, Time Disruptors no longer affect the clock during Speed Run, and players can switch characters in the Juice Bar without having to exit all the way back to the start menu.

Mighty Morphin Rita’s Rewind’s Zord and Megazord levels have also been tweaked and rebalanced, with jumping now easier due to reduced gravity, useful health items now appearing during gameplay, and enemy laser fire dealing less damage. Finally, stability has been improved across the board in this new Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind update, and a save file issue that prevented PS5 players from starting a new playthrough after beating the game once has been resolved.
