Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid gets Story Mode, new voice overs by original actors, new characters

As announced previously, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is getting a major Software update adding several playable characters. But that’s not all: that update also includes a Story Mode, as well as new voice overs by the original actors, new battle arenas, and more. Unfortunately, that update is not yet available on Nintendo Switch…

The update adds the following:

• Story Mode: features a storyline written and voice directed by Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Shattered Grid, Nightwing, Batman: Gates of Gotham), with original artwork by Dan Mora (Go Go Power Rangers, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Klaus)

In this new mode, players experience a re-imagining of the critically acclaimed Shattered Grid event from Boom! Studios’ Power Rangers comic book series.  When Lord Drakkon, an evil alternate version of Tommy Oliver, sets off a massive campaign across time and space to destroy all Power Rangers, they must band together and fight back, before all of existence falls to his armies. 

• New voice overs by the original cast: the new content includes story and voice overs by the original Power Rangers actors, including Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver), Austin St. John (Jason Lee Scott), David J. Fielding (Zordon), Kerrigan Mahan (Goldar) and Meghan “Strawburry17” Camarena (Kimberly).

• New characters:
  • Dragon Armor Trini: When the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were viciously attacked by the Black Dragon, a powerful Zord from another dimension with the capability to warp Ranger powers, they were in for the fight of their lives. After he was defeated, Trini was able to refashion the Zord into a powerful suit of enhanced armor
  • Udonna: Udonna is a powerful sorceress who trains the Mystic Force Power Rangers in the art of magic. As the Mystic Force White Ranger, this accomplished sorceress uses the power of snow to freeze evil
  • Cenozoic Blue Ranger: The Cenozoic Blue Ranger was a loyal and powerful soldier who served with Zordon, the original Red Ranger. Eons after his tragic demise at the hands of the traitorous Green Ranger Rita Repulsa, his Power Coin was found by a teenager named Billy Cranston, who then took on the Blue Ranger mantle.

• New Arenas:
  • Selectable Arenas: Corinth and Planet Earth: Cenozoic Era
  • Non-Selectable Arenas (Story Mode only): Command Center (Malfunctioning) and Lord Drakkon’s Throne Room (Flashback)
