New Ratchet & Clank Future Game Announced

March 26, 2009 in News comments 22

The sequel's announcement was rumoured just hours ago, and would you believe it, the sequel has been confirmed and given a name. Coming this autumn to the stores (yes it's disk-based from what can be interpreted from the article) is the next R&C Game: Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time. See the full press release below.

London, 26th March: Ever wanted to travel back in time? This Autumn Ratchet and Clank are back on PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3™) in the UK like you’ve never seen them before – and they’re on a mission to save the future!! Get ready another round of intergalactic chaos with Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time, the latest addition to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s multi-million selling Ratchet and Clank franchise.

Concluding the events that began in Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time will answer some of the franchise fans’ biggest questions. After discovering that lovable robot Clank’s disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, the Wrench-swinging Ratchet races to save his best friend. Along the way, both will finally uncover the hidden truth behind their origins, and discover their ultimate destinies. As the duo come closer to reuniting, they’ll have to ask themselves the biggest question of all: Do Ratchet and Clank’s destinies lie with each other? Or is it finally time for the universe’s greatest duo to separate for good?

If you haven’t played Ratchet & Clank before and are new to this successful franchise, prepare to be immersed in hilarious action-packed galactic capers and discover how time travel will entertain you in ways never before experienced.

Powered by Insomniac Games’ fourth-generation PS3 technology, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time will continue to bring the experience of playing your own computer generated animation movie to PS3. Expect all the laughs and witty banter of a Ratchet and Clank title, as you enjoy all-new space gameplay that gives players the opportunity to engage in space battles, explore the surrounding star system, and discover hidden items and collectables.. You’ll come head-to-head with a brand-new cast of baddies, and some old favourites, and obliterate them with cool new weapons and abilities.

Get ready for a brand new time-bending, laugh-out-loud adventure when Ratchet and Clank: A Crack In Time arrives in stores in Autumn 2009. It’s the newest addition to the smash-hit Ratchet and Clank franchise, with eight titles across PlayStation 2, PS3 and PSP (PlayStation Portable) platforms. With Ratchet and Clank, the future is never certain!

    So presumably, they're putting the word "Future" in the American title again?

      Well I got the email UK version of the email, which didn't have Future, but I assume that all PS3 versions of R&C are going to have 'Future' in the title, hence what I've named game, and what the forum will be called...

        My ToD didn't have "Future", but it would make sense if the game's about tiem travel.

          Yup, I see what you mean, just checked my copy, and it doesn't say Future, whereas the NA box scans do.

    A Crack in Time's a terrible subtitle.

    Still, at the fact it's been announced for as soon as Autumn (I know Quest for Booty said "Coming Fall 2009", but I was beginning to worry D: ).

    Hmmm, this subtitle doesn't have any sexual/weapon innuendos, which is a shocker. And heres hoping we can travel in time to different time periods of the R&C universe. If that is why they called it crack in time.

      It could be a innuendo, some of the past ones were pretty obscure (I didn't realize until much later anyway)

      Not much really there aside from the confirmation of space combat, but still its good to know.

        No, they really weren't.

    Maybe not, but I was young.

    And come on 'Crack' has got to mean something dirty.

      Like Up Your Arsenal wasn't dirty. I always thought that it meant "Up your @$$" as well as something to do with weapons.

        Errr. Arse is a British word for ass. ._.

          I think you misinterpreted my comment. "Like UYA wasn't dirty," as in it was...

          Though I didn't know that arse was a British word for ass. Thanks.

        Yes I realized Up your Arsenal was a joke, first I got.

          I was replying to Shattered who said "Up Your Arsenal wasn't dirty".

          Yeah I know you were replying to Shattered, so was I.

        Well "Up Your Arsenal" was the subtitle to an old PS1 game, if anyone remembers - Tiny Tank. Not a very big hit, but I liked it. So its not really that dirty, just as you said, "Up Your Ass" was the phrase they were getting at.

        And Going Commando wasn't "dirty" either.

          Yeah it was. Going commando also means going without wearing underwear and/or not wearing a condom during sex.

    Great. Now I can get a good game for the end of the year.

      Like several others aren't already coming out. Off the top of my head I'll tell you CoD:MW2 is going to be game of the year.

        Mudkiplover may not like the games coming out this year. The games may be good, but it doesn't mean Mud has to like them.

        I personally know lots of great games coming out. However, the only must-buy game for me is R&CF:ACIT. The others, I will buy depending on my free time and money.

          I wasn't trying to say that he has to like them, I was just saying that Modern Warfare 2 was going to be GotY and that there we're other good exclusives coming out besides this one. I was thinking about the general audience there.
