Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart? More like Rivet & Clank it looks like from the new gameplay trailer for Insomniac’s upcoming PS5 exclusive.
The short gameplay trailer gives a bit more story context to the duo’s new fight against old antagonist Dr. Nefarious, this time it involves dimension-hopping shenanigans. As Ratchet & Clank are split up, Clank pairs up with another Lombax, the resistance fighter Rivet. Yes, that’s the name for our new playable female protagonist.
Just like Ratchet, Rivet carries Clank on her back like a backpack, and looks to have a similar moveset (at least for now) to Ratchet’s, including the dimension-grabbing tool seen in the first reveal.
Check out the new trailer, to the tune of a song by Devo:
Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh is also the composer for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart’s soundtrack. He has done many composer roles in other media including video games: he worked on the first three Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter games.
While the gameplay trailer is more of a hype trailer, a longer look of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be coming in a new State Of Play broadcast on April 29.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be out on June 11 exclusively on PS5.
