The embargo has lifted. New gameplay of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart revealed

As promised, the preview embargo for the new Sony exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was lifted on May 12.

Journalists were presented with new details about Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for the PS5 console. The embargo has lifted, and previews of the game have begun appearing online.

Game Informer published 7 minutes of gameplay from the new installment of Ratchet & Clank. The game takes place after the events depicted in the 2013 game subtitled Nexus. It will be a completely original story. 

The capabilities of the next-generation console are put to use. Not only is the SSD utilized for instantaneous travel of the heroes through dimensional rifts, but ray tracing is also featured. For instance, as previously shown, the protagonist’s partner Clank “shines” in all his glory.

The featured video shows Ratchet and Rivet. The heroine battles a massive robot and also wields a variety of weapons. For example, a plasma shotgun and small bombs that cover enemies in green goo and prevent them from moving. Just like in the recently released roguelike game Returnal, an alternate firing mode is available, activated using the adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller.

The team at Insomniac Games worked hard to ensure that the fur of the Lombax characters was crafted as meticulously as possible.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be released on June 11 on PS5.
