There’s a new Ratchet & Clank game coming soon! Insomniac Games is involved! And it’s coming to… mobile!
Yes, Sony has just announced Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, a “free to download”, mobile multiplayer shooter heading to Android and iOS.
A collaboration between Insomniac and mobile dev studio Oh BiBi, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble has players gunning for each other in a simulated battle, hosted by Captain Qwark.
It looks like there are a few modes of play; the main attraction, Total Rumble, looks similar to shooters like Overwatch, only with R&C’s cartoonish visuals and daft weaponry.
On top of that, there’s Blast Ball, which seems to be a riff on Rocket League. Bolt Rush, meanwhile, sees players competing to collect the most bolts in a stage.
Here’s the official blurb:
The iconic characters from the Ratchet & Clank franchise are back in a stunning, fast-paced arena shooter packed with explosive weapons and larger-than-life action!
Experience the humor, action, and energy of the iconic universe in a bold new real-time multiplayer format. Play as a Legendary Hero from the past, now with unique abilities. Go solo or team up with other Rangers online in thrilling multiplayer games built for every kind of player. Free to download soon!
If you’re interested, you can pre-register for the game via its official website.
We’ve known Sony has been dabbling with mobile games for a while, and this appears to be one of the first real attempts to bring its IP to the platform.
It looks like good fun, though it’s obviously a far cry from the single player platformer/shooter adventures fans love. We’ll have to wait and see whether this is any good; if we’re gonna see mobile games like this, let’s hope they’re decent, eh?
