Power Rangers Rita’s Rewind Includes The Green Ranger As An Unlockable Character

Summary

Digital Eclipse has finally confirmed that Tommy Oliver, the Green Ranger, will be an unlockable character inMighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind.

From the moment that Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind was first revealed, there was one question on every fan’s mind - where is Tommy Oliver? Although the Red Ranger might appear to be the leader in the first season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, everyone knows that Green is where it’s at, with Tommy (perfectly played by Jason David Frank) going on to be the most popular and influential Ranger of all time.

There were some hints around that Tommy would eventually show up,such as a green roller-coaster cart that could be seen in the reveal trailer, but it’s something that hadn’t been outright confirmed. Worry not, Power Ranger fans, as Digital Eclipse has finally stopped pulling our leg and confirmed that Tommy Oliver is in the game.

Rita’s Rewind Makes The Green Ranger An Unlockable Character

August 28 marks Power Rangers Day and to celebrate the occasion,Digital Eclipse confirmed that the Green Ranger will be an unlockable character in Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind. To unlock Tommy, players will need to beat the main campaign, similar to howCasey Jones was unlocked in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge.

If you’re worried that Tommy won’t play an active role in the game’s story, then you needn’t be, as it was also confirmed that “Tommy’s origin story is a part of our game’s narrative” which suggests that he’ll play a key role. We know Rita’s Rewind messes around with time, so it’s likely that we’ll see a few different sides to the iconic Green Ranger.

There’s no word yet on whether Rita’s Rewind will feature unlockable skins, but Tommy having a White Ranger outfit is surely a given.

Funnily enough,I got to play Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind last week at Gamescomand asked Digital Eclipse’s Chris Kohler about Tommy making it in. His answer was coy, but made it clear it was happening, something that’s now been confirmed for real - I just didn’t expect to be writing about it so soon after asking.
