Insomniac’s omni-dimensional romp is Riveting
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

FORMAT PS5 / ETA 11 JUN / PUB PLAYSTATION STUDIOS / DEV INSOMNIAC GAMES / PLAYERS 1

After their last official outing in Into The Nexus on PS3, PlayStation’s buddy duo Ratchet and Clank are back in a brand new adventure, and Insomniac Games is out to prove that this is an adventure only PS5 can deliver.

It won’t just be these two besties along for the ride, however. Rift Apart takes places across multiple dimensions, thanks to the Dimensionator device unwittingly causing rifts in the omniverse, so it only makes sense that there’s help from an alternate playable hero. After months of teasing, we now know that hero is Rivet, a female lombax who’s part of the resistance movement fighting the biggest threat in her world… who may look rather familiar.

While we’ve faced Dr. Nefarious in past adventures, in this other dimension he’s a more capable villain – in fact, here he’s the emperor. The first city Ratchet and Clank drop into, where they become separated, is named Nefarious City, and in case you don’t get the message his huge golden statue stands in the middle of the plaza. That eyesore doesn’t detract from just how dazzling the rest of the neon-lit city looks – it’s a Teen-rated Night City complete with moody techno, where oppressed citizens go about their day while a fleet of flying cars can be seen above.
