At one point, the Power Rangers AAA project was in development, with the “Arkham Rangers” concept, but it didn’t move forward.
Jason Bischoff, the former global manager of Power Rangers at Hasbro, who is now at Funko, shared on Twitter that the game, codenamed “Project Nomad” was in development in 2016 but not past its initial stages.
It is described as “an ambitious open world cooperative game that captured the energy, teamwork, and story of the series through a fresh perspective”.
It’s a concept that seems to have a lot in common with what is done in Gotham Knights by Warner Bros. Toys.
As a former video game (and then in Saban), I hoped BusDev would be an ambitious and open global collaboration that captured the energy, teamwork, and history of the franchise through a new lens.

Bischoff says Project Nomad has no internal support or budget, but has been given the green light to explore the possibility of this project being realized independently.
According to him, conversations with studios and publishers were favorable, but there were significant changes at that time that completely changed the direction of conversations and Project Nomad did not take off.
By calling old friends, we built the stadium we wanted to see. Even though these looks were never intended to be definitive, I think it’s safe to say we were into something compelling!
Shouts out to Lineage, Carlos Dattoli, Jarold Sng and many others who have contributed!

This open world AAA Power Rangers has yet to come true and will remain a fan’s dream.
Bischoff kept Art ready to promote the game and said the concept would be “Eltar, conquered, to be launched by a group of Rangers from across the universe.”
For now, let’s simply enjoy this amazing art, and it’s set:
Eltar, under occupation, has been liberated by countless Rangers from all over the universe.
Lots to share at another time. Happy weekend, everything! May the force protect you! ?? #Energy is down 6/6 pic.twitter.com/PUJN8u2GTz
