Mighty morphin' news, Survivor!

A free bonus content is dropping on July 16th for Power Rangers Wave 1 and Wave 2 owners! If you own both, you'll automatically get an Ultrazord Custom Cosmetic for free!
We will also be releasing Power Rangers as a DLC for $14.99, and it'll include the complete content of Wave 1 & Wave 2, and the Ultrazord.

This update concludes this particular collaboration, but we're really excited about our upcoming collaboration!

As we settle into the Unreal Engine 5.5 update, we want to extend a huge thanks to everyone who’s been sending in bug reports and helping us track down the gremlins that slipped through. Your feedback has already helped us resolve some early crashes, and we’ll be patching quite rapidly in the coming weeks so, please keep those reports coming and stay tuned for more improvements!

We’re actively monitoring performance and stability, and you can expect continued updates aimed at improving the experience across the board. On the modding front, with thousands of mods out there, a few unexpected hiccups were bound to surface. If you're encountering new issues tied to the Engine upgrade, chances are we are too, and we’re working to address them as quickly as possible.

If you run into bugs or technical issues, please report them here.
