Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid
nWay have announced that Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is to get Season 3, with 3 additional characters, and more.
Here’s a trailer for it:
And here’s what will be included in this 3rd season:
- Three New Characters:
- Robert “RJ” James, Jungle Fury Purple Ranger. Originally trained under his father, Master Finn, RJ rejected the Shark Style and adopted the wolf spirit instead.
- Lauren Shiba, Super Samurai Red Ranger. Spending her life to master the sealing symbol, Lauren’s singular goal was to return and lead the Samurai Rangers.
- To-Be-Revealed Third Character
- New Character Skin: Phantom Beast King skin for Dai Shi. With his new power and the Phantom Beast Generals, Dai Shi was finally able to defeat the Rangers.
- New Ultra (Free): Samurai Megazord. We are united! Call up the power of the Samurai Megazord to assist your team in battle.
- Megazord Revamp (Free). Megazord Ultra activation conditions have been revamped. Instead of requiring at least one character to be knocked out, you can now activate your Ultra based on the consumption of the Megazord Revenge Meter.

SkateBIRD
Megan Fox has announced that SkateBIRD has been delayed to next year, this time not (directly) due to Covid-19:
We’re not financially imperiled (unlike a lot of my friends in the service industry, yikes – please help where you can, tip well if you’re getting delivery, etc). We’re fine, really. Between the Kickstarter and some platform deals, we’re more than funded through launch. However. The game is taking longer than planned due to normal iteration stuff. For instance, we’re gonna go for a story mode! Like an ACTUAL story mode, not the findable tapes side-story we’d originally planned. Then pile on there that at least my productivity has halved or more because of – you know, everything outside right now? – and it’s best to kick the can down the road.
