Microsoft brings Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Minecraft on Windows 10, pocket, and console
Microsoft's Minecraft isn't just a video game -- it is a phenomenon. What was once a PC-only affair is now available on mobile devices and game consoles too. It is wildly popular for entertainment purposes, but it is also being leveraged for education as well.
Today, Microsoft announces a new skin pack for Minecraft, based on another wildly popular phenomenon -- Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Why is Microsoft releasing skins based on a 1990's television show in 2017? Because a new movie based on the franchise is in theaters now.
"Mighty Morphing (sic) Power Rangers? How about... Miney Morphing Power Rangers? Hmmm, maybe not. What's got us so excited we're throwing out puns this awful so early in the week? A new skin pack in Minecraft of course! The Power Rangers pack launches today on Console, Pocket and Windows 10 Edition. Go go, MINEY Morphing Power Rangers! (Hey, it's catching on!)" says Tom Stone, Creative Communications Assistant, Mojang.
Stone also says, "You won't just find the brightly-colored buddies in the pack either. Every good superhero team needs an equally bad rogues gallery of cackling villains, so you'll find skins for wrong un's like Rita Repulsa, Bulk and Skull terrorizing the pack too. Initiate Megazord sequence!"
If you want to try these skins for Minecraft, I am happy to say you do not need to wait. They are available immediately on Windows 10, pocket (mobile), and video game console. Best of all? They are totally free!
