This did release previously, but from what I can tell, the packaging now references ININ Games on the front. I'm unsure if there will be any other differences.

(NEW RELEASE) Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid - Super Edition ($49.99) Amazon

While I'm not yet sure if the additional content will be a digital code inside the case to redeem or if it'll be added to the cartridge, here is everything you'll be getting:

  • 23 Rangers & Villains Across Generations

  • All characters from the Collector’s Edition, Seasons One, Two, Three and seven skins; Story and combat voiceovers are authentically performed by some of the members of the original Power Rangers cast
