Sony fills in its PS5 calendar for 2021 with the news that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will arrive on June 11th. The game’s release date was originally (and vaguely) planned for the PS5 ‘launch window’. The latest entry in Insomniac Games’ classic series uses the fast hardware of the PlayStation 5 to instantly transport you from one reality to another.
If you’ve been intrigued by the sleek dimensional hopping technology and amazing footage, but you’re a newbie at Ratchet & Clank, you need not worry. Insomniac says Tear apart is a standalone game. You do not have to play the previous entries to understand the story, but you still have a few months to catch up before this one lands.
Attach a pre-order and you get the Carbonox armor from Ratchet & Clank: Upcoming Command (2003). The Pixelizer Weapon from 2016s Ratchet & Clank will also be yours as an early unlock. The standard version costs $ 70, while the digital luxury version costs $ 80. The latter includes five more armor sets, a digital art book and soundtrack, a photo mode sticker package and some Raritanium to help you upgrade your weapons faster.
