A new update is now live in Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, and it brings the team’s original nemesis into the game! Rita Repulsa is available as part of the December update, alongside bug fixes, and changes for some of the previous playable characters, including Dragon Armor Trini, Chun-Li, Shadow Ranger, and Poisandra. Players will have to decide for themselves whether these improvements are for the better, but hopefully developer nWay has made choices that make the game more balanced and enjoyable for everyone!
