Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid hits current-gen consoles later this year, and while we are still waiting on nWay and Lionsgate to lift the full curtain on the story mode, we now know the Shattered Grid makers BOOM! Studios are working on it.

In a new interview with PlayStation Blog, nWay VP of Creative Steve Kuroki revealed that the mysterious story mode will include a fully brand new story, and it is being written by the makers of Power Rangers Shattered Grid BOOM! Studios.

"At launch, the game will feature online Ranked and Casual matches as well as a brand-new story written by the makers of the Shattered Grid Power Rangers comic series," Kuroki said. "This is an original story for the game. We will have more to share about the story later, as I know the Power Rangers fans would want to know."

That's huge, as the Power Rangers comics have become the standard over the past few years as far as engaging and mature themed storytelling for the Power Rangers franchise. Now, this does not say that Kyle Higgins (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) or Ryan Parrott (Go Go Power Rangers) will be directly writing the game, but the fact that someone at BOOM! Studios is writing it is enough to make us excited to see what they have in store.

For those unfamiliar with the storyline, Shattered Grid was an epic storyline years in the making under the supervision of Higgins, Parrott Dafna Pleban, and the entire team at BOOM! Studios that brought Rangers from all universes and all seasons into one amazing story as they tried to save the Earth and the Morphin Grid from Lord Drakkon. That storyline has certainly had an impact going forward, as you can see in Battle for the Grid already, being that Drakkon is one of the game's initial playable characters.

When we previously spoke with Kuroki, he said picking the characters to launch with was one of the more difficult challenges.

"There are quite a few challenges," Kuroki said. "I think a lot of it comes into picking the right characters. Power Rangers, especially with the game that we've made for mobile, now features over 60 characters. We wanted to make sure that we pulled the right Rangers or villains from the Power Rangers universe to support all the archetypes needed for fighting games."

"That's always the debate within the studio itself, as we're now Power Rangers fans," Kuroki said. "Which ones are our favorite? Which one will actually fit the role of a more bruiser, bigger type character, or the speedy type character? That's always a fun conversation within the studio."

'Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid' Gets New Gameplay Trailer

The new gameplay trailer features Mighty Morphin's Green Ranger (Tommy) duking it out with Mighty Morphin Red (Jason) and Megaforce Yellow (Gia) and gives us a glimpse at how the game actually flows. Tommy mixes it up with high and low attacks, keeping the Red Ranger off balance, but Red comes back with some hard-hitting sword attacks and then calls in Gia for an assist.

After that Jason launches into an attack that has him dashing across the screen in a blaze or red energy sword first, netting himself a 15 hit combo in the process.

Then we see Gia take on Tommy with a mix of sword and blaster attacks, eventually tagging out to Jason to continue the attack.

VP of nWay creative Steve Kuroki also recently shared some details to PlayStation Blog, where they revealed a new screenshot from the game to boot. You can check out what he has to say as well as the new image below.

"First, this is the only Power Rangers fighting game on the PS4," Kuroki said. "We have given each character’s animation a lot of TLC to make sure they stay authentic to the source material — details that the biggest Power Rangers fans will care about. This will also make the game not only fun to play, but also fun to watch. Also, we are adopting an online-first model. This means that we want the game to feel alive and have longevity. We plan to do this by regularly rolling out new content — new characters and new stories — as well as host special events, missions, and online tournaments. To support a healthy online competitive community, we are lowering the barrier to entry with a starting price of $19.99, allowing more people to join the matchmaking pool."

The multiplayer focus makes sense for a fighting game, though as we learned earlier there will be a story mode helmed by BOOM! Studios as well.

“The Power Rangers have proven to be an enduring global phenomenon among audiences of all ages,” said Daniel Engelhardt, Senior Vice President of Interactive Ventures & Games at Lionsgate. “We are excited to build upon our successful mobile game, Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, to offer a unique opportunity for fans to enjoy a new cross-platform fighting game experience on console and PC.”

Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid launches on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch this April, and you can pre-order the game right here.
