It's sort of strange to think that Power Rangers is still a thing, but here we are in 2019 with a new fighting game coming to PS4. Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is due this spring, and developer nWay has just released a short new trailer showing off a snippet of gameplay footage. It's looking a little stiff with all those hit pauses, but otherwise seems fairly competent.
Elsewhere, the PlayStation Blog has gone into a little more detail on what to expect from the game. Battle for the Grid will play out similarly to Marvel vs. Capcom, letting you select a team of three fighters to take into each bout. The focus is online play, and the developer plans to support the game long term with more characters and other updates. There will be an original story to play through, as well as casual and ranked online matches.

i'm interested, Power rangers was a huge part of my childhood so even today i like to keep an eye on it and see how it's doing
and it's not a bad price really
What's with the framerate?
@NintendoFan4Lyf
Odd take. The vast majority of the Super Sentai stuff up until MMPR just wouldn't translate well to western audiences on the whole - especially not the metaphysics of Zyuranger for America.
I really commend Saban for achieving what they did with MMPR, even the late seasons bits when they had to use the toys for some Zord shots as they'd exhausted all of the original material!
Anyway - this game looks terrible!
As Brody would say; ‘epic!’
@get2sammyb apparently it was still alpha footage
@FullbringIchigo Same here grew up with Power Rangers since I was four years old.
Sadly I've slowly lost interest over the decades, but I still keep up-to-date on all the news when I can.
I'm not entirely sure why they chose a fighting game format for this, given that it didn't do so well for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game, which is an uninspired fighter with broken mechanics and odd inputs. (I still kinda like it though.) Not sure how well the SNES tournament fighter went since despite seeing copies of it everywhere, I never got a chance to try it.
I feel like this franchise would be better off being done in a Platinum Games format similar to Transformers, but that's just me.
