We already knew that Insomniac Games was working on a sequel to the 2016 reboot of Ratchet & Clank. And today, Sony announced that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be released on June 11 exclusively for the PS5.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will make the main characters travel through various realities while trying to stop a cowardly emperor who is trying to exterminate the organic life of all universes. Like other titles on Sony’s next-generation console, the game will take advantage of the PS5’s hardware, including support for lightning tracking, and take advantage of the tactile feedback and adaptive triggers of the DualSense game controller.
The game was originally announced last June during Sony’s next generation showcase. A few months later, Sony released seven minutes of new game images at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2020.
This is the third major exclusive PS5 console released this year, after AllStars Destruction‘launch earlier this month (which is currently free), and Arkane Studios’ Deathloop, which is scheduled for release on May 21 and will remain an exclusive PS5 console for one year.
