Ratchet & Clank Lives, Gets New Screenshot

Ratchet & Clank lives! Insomniac Games has announced that in 2015, the studio plans to expand the Ratchet universe with the release of an all new title called Ratchet & Clank for the PlayStation 4. 

In addition to the new game, the new Ratchet & Clank is being developed alongside a CGI movie of the same name. The movie was announced at E3 2014. 

According to its developers, Ratchet & Clank re-imagines the original title, with updated gameplay and completely new visuals built from the ground up for the new-gen platform.

Here’s what they wrote:

In 2015, we have the rare (actually, for us, unprecedented) opportunity to expand Ratchet’s universe simultaneously in two forms. We’ll continue our involvement with the Ratchet & Clank feature film. And we’re excited to announce that we’re also developing a game that shares the film’s vision of Ratchet’s origin story. As featured in Sony’s press conference, the game re-imagines the original Ratchet & Clank, with updated gameplay and completely new visuals built from the ground up for the PlayStation 4.

Our California and North Carolina studios are making the game together, marking our deepest cross-country collaboration to date. Many of the original developers responsible for the very first Ratchet & Clank game have an opportunity to create the stunning Solana Galaxy that they–and our fans–have always wanted to see. Longtime Design Director Brian Allgeier, Studio Director Chad Dezern, and Game Director Shaun McCabe will lead the project.
