Someone on 4chan leaked what appears to be a new fighting game on that will come on PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

For over 25 years Power Rangers has been one of the most popular franchises in the world. As a perennial Top 10 NPD Action Brand, the globally renowned brand has spawned hit TV shows, movies, toys, comics, live entertainment and games. Today, nWay, the developer and publisher behind Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, the hit multiplayer mobile game with over 45 million downloads, is partnering with Hasbro and global content leader Lionsgate to announce Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid. The new cross-platform fighting game will be available as a digital download for $19.99 first on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in April 2019, and then as a PC release later in the year.

The game is now available for pre-order at www.battleforthegrid.com with those ordering prior to launch receiving an exclusive bonus of the Green Ranger V2 character skin and a digital art book. In addition, a special Digital Collector’s Edition will be available to pre-order for $39.99, which contains the full game download, Season One Pass (which will include three new characters, their Arcade story, and a new warrior skin), and exclusive Lord Drakkon V2 and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Pink Ranger character skins.

Going to the site mentioned in the above leads to a site that asks you for a password. No one has yet figured out how to bypass the password or figure the password itself out yet.

The game looks like a Street Fighter clone due to the visual hits. The game is definitely targeted towards fans of the series, but if they do manage to include the 90’s Power Rangers, there is definitely a good niche here for grabbing nostalgic fans by the horns.

From what we can gather from the trailer, the new game lets you play from any Power Rangers series; past, and present.
