Ratchet & Clank is an upcoming platformer video game under development by Insomniac Games, and to be published by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is a re-imagining of the first game in the series, based on the upcoming film by Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment.[3] The game was originally planned to be released on the PlayStation 4 in 2015, but was delayed along with the film to April 12, 2016.[2]

Gameplay

In Ratchet & Clank, players can use the Swingshot to grapple targets and swing across gaps. This gameplay mechanic was first featured in the original game.

Though the game is a re-imagining of the first game, it will have a variety of gameplay elements from different entries in the series, with features like strafing and the inclusion of weapons that came after the first game. It also features brand new weapons. For example, the Pixelizer, which, as the name suggests, turns enemies into an 8-bit appearance.

Development

Ratchet & Clank was announced during Sony's press conference at E3 2014. Insomniac Games' California and North Carolina studios are cooperating on its development.[4] Developers of the first game are stated to be working on the game, such as long time design director Brian Allgeier. The game was originally slated for release in 2015, but was delayed into 2016 to tie-in with the film's release.[5] Players who pre-order the game will receive access to an additional weapon, the Bouncer, which has been featured in past games in the series and was first featured in the second Ratchet & Clank game.[6]

On January 11, 2016, it was confirmed that the game will release in France on April 15, 2016, the rest of Europe on April 20, 2016 and the United Kingdom on April 22, 2016.[1]
