04/06/2021, 19:01 Reading Time: minutes Hey everyone – we’re just days away from the launch of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart on the PlayStation 5 console. It’s been quite a journey to get here, as our team has been working on creating a showpiece for the new hardware. Built from the ground up for PS5, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is, in my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful and technically impressive games ever released.  I know the rest of the team here at Insomniac feels the same...

Thursday, May 13, 2021 Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart has gone gold. The code has been finalized, sent off to be printed to discs, and a file is ready to be uploaded to the PlayStation Store where players will be able to download it next month. While the team at Insomniac will likely continue working to smooth out any wrinkles and unexpected bugs via a day one patch, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart going gold means that the June 11 release date is unlikely to shift. We’re now locked in, with ju...

The new Ratchet & Clank game proved the point of the PlayStation 5 when it was revealed last year. Developer Insomniac Games introduced It was a cool trick — one of those “showcasing the power of the PlayStation 5” moments. But it doesn’t appear that Insomniac is relying solely on that technically dazzling interdimensional-travel-made-possible-by-the-PS5-SSD trick for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Sure, Clank is now fully ray-traced (so are Ratchet’s eyes), and Insomniac is using the...

It’s probably a good thing that I was only allowed to witness Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart remotely. Had it been presented on a local PS5, Insomniac would’ve needed an Omni-wrench to pry me away. Honestly, you know a game is good when it’s compressed by streaming, is only arriving in non-HDR/1080p, and it still blows your hair back. But you know what? Let’s put a quick pause on the praise. There’s some bad news I need to get out of the way first. During all the wow-factor of experien...

The 2019 film comes from the same animation studio behind the 2016 Ratchet & Clank movie and seems to have gone largely unnoticed until now.

That’s a W for Canada From out of nowhere, Canadian streaming service Crave TV just released a short Ratchet and Clank film completely without any prior marketing or promotion. The short movie is called Ratchet and Clank: Life of Pie and is a completely original story for the Sony duo. James Taylor Arnold, David Kaye, Armin Shimerman, and Jim Ward reprise their roles as Ratchet, Clank, Dr. Nefarious, and Captain Qwark, respectively. Right now, the only legitimate way of viewing Ratchet and Cl...

Update: We received word from Sony that Ratchet & Clank: Life of Pie does not serve as an official canon prequel to the PS5’s Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and is not related to the upcoming game. The TV short is a standalone license special created by Mainframe Studios, but has no canon bearing on the PS5 game’s narrative. Original: Aside from a beloved series of games, Ratchet & Clank has spawned manga, comics, books, toys, and even a feature movie. One thing it hasn’t produced is a t...

Ratchet & Clank for PS4 Lost Sight of What Makes the Series Special Ratchet & Clank is one of my favorite PlayStation series. Insomniac Games’ iconic lombax and defective combat drone have engaged in everything from traditional sci-fi shenanigans to high-seas pirating to a bit of tower defense. No matter where you put them, Ratchet and Clank just work effortlessly. Which is why I was more than a little perplexed with their only appearance in  Ratchet & Clank on PlayStation 4. At the time of ...
