Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart shows off seven minutes of dimension-hopping gameplay

The pirates made me smile

One thing missing from the lead-up to PS5 and Xbox Series X is in-depth gameplay footage, and today, we got a longer look at Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, one of the more tangible next-gen games so far.

It’s familiar in the best way. Insomniac calls the story an “extension of Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus” with “a lot of returning characters and planets” through the lens of the multi-dimension premise. As for the new playable Lombax character’s name, “the world is more interesting with mysteries.”

In terms of the release date, no news – but Rift Apart will make the “PS5 launch window.”
