More information about Insomniac Games' upcoming Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart has finally arrived, and fans of the series should be pleased with the news. Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is one of the most anticipated games of 2021, and an announcement today from Insomniac Games Creative Director Marcus Smith has revealed the game's release date, new artwork, and extra goods to be obtained by ordering early.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart serves as a continuation of 2013's Ratchet and Clank: Into the Nexus, which was released for the PS3. The story will revolve around Ratchet and Clank traveling through multiple realities in an attempt to stop Dr. Nefarious from destroying dimensions with a malfunctioning device meant to eliminate organic life. Existing gameplay shorts have shown that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart takes full advantage of the PS5's power, as the game was built from the start with the PS5 in mind. Today's announcement confirms fans won't have long to wait for the game, but it also provides a few incentives to pre-order the PS5 exclusive.
