Phwoar, get a load of this new trailer for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The PlayStation 5 exclusive is hurtling towards its release date of 11th June 2021, which means it's time for much more gameplay footage. Insomniac Games also uses the trailer as an opportunity to reveal the name of the mysterious female Lombax. It's Rivet! This is the same name fans of the series had taken a stab at guessing, so they were right.
Nearly two minutes of action showcases fast-paced gameplay as well as gorgeous cutscenes — we even get another glimpse of Ratchet utilising the PS5 SSD and launching through portals with ease. New locations such as Nefarious City are included alongside sneak peeks at old favourites Sargasso and Torren IV, except with a twist from another dimension. That's not all though because Sony has announced a State of Play live stream for this coming Thursday, where more than 15 minutes of gameplay will be revealed as well as a few other reveals.

Errr, wow!
This looks AMAZING
Man that looks stunning!! Can't wait to see this running in action with all the bells and whistles turned out!
woah - crash bandicoot
..... I may have to take the kicking for this one!
I don't even need to see it to know it's stunning, just very glad to see both the date reaffirmed and a State of Play this week.
Now, about finding a PS5 by June, that really would be stunning.😎
That looks absolutely awesome! WOW!
Oh gosh that looks amazing!
... It's not just me thinking that Clank's voice sounds a little off though compared to usual in the trailer right?
@rjejr go to the site named nowinstock, download telegram, both on pc and cellphone so it notifies you.
Locally, well that will depend on you. Join a search group of your area. That's what I did for PR.
Yeah. This will probably be my first game when I eventually pick up a PS5. It looks incredible. Almost too incredible lol.
@The_New_Butler It's most likely just referring to the Digital Deluxe Edition content, which can be purchased separately.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, R&C is the first must play PS5 game for me.
Looks really good actually, I did enjoy the free one that playstation gave away. Will probably pick this one up, maybe around release but not too sure yet.
Yeah, they are getting their $70 this time. Looks amazing!
I always smile when i see some Ratchet and Clank. Love the series since the first game. New gameplay trailer looks SO GOOD!
PlayStation Fans: PlayStation, why are you being so quiet?
PlayStation: So, about us being quiet: you're welcome!
This looks great!
Thanks to Sony giving away Ratchet & Clank, I finally experienced the series for the first time (on PS5 no less) and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely pick this one up.
This looks incredible, can't wait to play it. Sony may have their faults but they certainly deliver high quality games.
Game looks fantastic and will undoubtably become PS5's biggest true exclusive. Hopefully it's a massive success and will convince Sony to drop cross-gen for major upcoming titles so we can get more games that showcase the PS5's strengths like this.
Looks very promising. I'm really surprised no one has mentioned the very clear Sunset Overdrive influence on some of the gameplay. I also really like the name Rivet.
@The_New_Butler Yeah, they've confirmed that if you buy the standard edition you can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition in-game. That's the in-game purchase.
I love how unapologetically over the top this trailer is. Looks awesome.
JIM THE KING!
This looks absolutely phenomenal. I'm there day 1. Its been far too long since we got a new Ratchet and Clank. Insomniac just never disapoint, do they!
Ok, that looks brilliant. Never got into these games longer than three hours each - but still.
Wow! even looks good watching at work on the iPad
I’ve gotta say, this looks phenomenal. I’m playing through Ratchet and Clank on PS4 Pro at the moment and I’m having a blast, but this... this looks absolutely incredible. I really do need to get my hands on a PS5 sharpish!
That's looking quite impressive.
@rjejr I’m in exactly the same boat.. and trying to find a PS5 is exhausting. If only 😭
@LiamCroft @The_New_Butler insomniac has responded to someone asking this on twitter to confirm its for the digital deluxe upgrade 👍
https://twitter.com/insomniacgames/status/1386682332212391944?s=19
Used to love them, but haven't played one since A Crack in Time, which to be honest bored me.
At this moment in time, as pretty as it is, this isn't a must-play for me. I downloaded the PS4 're-imagining' (or whatever it was) of the original, but I've yet to play it. When I do, I'll see if it rekindles any of my past love for the games. If so, maybe I'll look at getting a PS5 before Forbidden West.
Looks so so good. Insomniac really knocks it out of the park.
Wow! This looks great!
This looks so aweome!
It comes out on my Birthday. Insomniac have never disappointed me as a Developer over the years and they haven't disappointed me now.
Man this game is like playable CG movie, I really can't wait for this
You really dropped the ball making the title “Looks Simply Sublime” instead if “Looks Riveting...”
Those graphics😍.word up son
I need to stop watching now and leave the rest a wonderful surprise come June the 11th.
Having been an x box man all my life and having made the decision to go with PS5 too for the first time I’ve got to say what with this and Returnal in the space of the next 5 weeks or so my decision has already been vindicated.
This looks amazing as does Returnal.
What an exciting time to own a PlayStation
Looks awesome! Can't wait to snap it up in a couple of years when it's £20 in a sale!
Having just got the platinum for the PS4 reboot, I’m gutted the series passed me by on previous gens.
It also seems weird to see Dr Nefarious looking like that in the trailer after they changed his character model for the reboot.
Just saw a comment on the YT vid, what if Rivet's Nefarious is actually Courtney Gears!?
That would be such a great call back to R&C3.
Don't expect it, but would be cool
So long as there is still plenty of box smashing. That is the most satisfying mechanic of the game. I love the sound of the bolts being collected.
Looks amazing.
@RBMango Sunset Overdrive? Aw no now look what you’ve DONE!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Oh wow! Looks like a Pixar Movie 🍿 day 1 !
@velio84 Don’t forget machine learning body/suit physics...
@Kirbyboy92 Does that look meh to you?
@tomassi Good to see you supporting people who make this stuff possible! Kudos.
@JimRyanTriggersYou I’m an adult. And guess what? I’ll be playing this game!!!
Nah, didn't enjoy this. Wasn't impressed by this or the PS4 game that was probably the most average game I've played in years.
Looks great. I may not be able to resist buying at launch.
You don't need to convince us sony, just release the game already.
@velio84 You forgot they also remastered Original Spider-man to run at 60fps with better lighting. They definitely are studio of the year for PS.
I've absolutely loved the Ratchet series since the very first one on PS2. I've played them all. And seeing this gave me the biggest grin. It looks incredible.
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAWREEEEEEENCE I WANT THIS GAME PRE-ORDERED NOW!!!! LAWWWWWWWREE....Oh Lance I can't it's not right you're my cousin's uncle's son
@JimRyanTriggersYou Try saying something like that to the crowd over at NintendoLife. They'd have you for breakfast.
Looks like the first TRUE looking next gen title.
Looks like CGi in real time, absolutely phenomenal stuff. Day one for sure!!!
@JimRyanTriggersYou Imagine needing your entertainment choices to affirm your maturity, lol.
Shooting people in the face in a Call of Duty game doesn't make you any more adult than you already are, I promise. You'll learn that when you grow up.
@Thrillho This new game is set in the original continuity. The 2016 game was a non-canon one off to compliment the movie.
@JimRyanTriggersYou I am most definitely an adult, and I will most definitely be playing this game.
@Ralizah Niiiiiice.
@Kirbyboy92 You want In game action? Look at any other trailer already released before this one.
@JimRyanTriggersYou Imagine believing that denying yourself colorful things makes you mature.
So glad Ratchet’s back but kinda makes me want a new Sly/Jak too!
@JimRyanTriggersYou Imagine being such a shortsighted adult. Nothing wrong with saying young of mind.
Its a pity some old people think your a adult if you only play sportgames or other releastic stuff. Im happy the kid in me has not died yet. Here is my childish response.
Looks fantastic. Not so different from the past, but that's not a bad thing as that's some of the most fun I had all last gen. This is the one reason I have a PS5. I should probably have another reason....but this one will do. The one time Sony gets my $70. If they do Sly, Gravity Rush, or a J&D that's more like 1, they'll have it again.
And to all above: Obvious Troll is obvious.....
I never would have given this game a second thought, but after having played the PS4 game recently on ps5 (free via Sony, 60fps, having never played it before) I shall definitely be getting it.
Sony's plan definitely worked on me
Game looks amazing BUT where's Captain Quark?!?
Absolutely no sight or reference to him!!
@Revengercm Thats more effort than I put into my $30,000 car and my $200,000 house, not doing that for a $5000 console. 😁
@The_Pixel_King I'm not trying right now, waiting until June b/c I don't really need one before R&C, but I'm starting to get worried that even in June it won't be easy.
@rjejr Hey you trying New Egg Shuffle? Last 3 times have had PS5s as an option. Sometimes they have the less offensive bundle (2 controllers + Miles morales)
https://www.newegg.com/product-shuffle
Nothing negative to say, it just looks fantastic. Insomniac is one of if not the studio I trust the most from Sony, they make nothing but high quality games and they have a giant portfolio of said games to prove it.
@RBMango "Very clear Sunset Overdrive influence on some of the gameplay"
Really? The gameplay elements for Ratchet & Clank have been in place for over 23 years, if anything Sunset Overdrive had a very clear Ratchet & Clank influence in its gameplay!
Back to the game. This looks amazing and the graphics are off the scale. The HDR on this is going to look superb. Absolutely, definitely a day one release for me...
@JimRyanTriggersYou
Dumb comment of the day..
I’m an older gamer and plenty of people my age play video games.
This looks great
I never seen a game look quite this good!
I am so so so incredibly hyped for this! June can't come soon enough
@Perryg92 There's a Quark balloon in the very first shot
@DonJorginho Wait Jim is one of the developers in this game!? Well dang he is a beast afterall if he created most of the assets that we are seeing, good thing he did otherwise your comment would be pretty idiotic and embarrassing.
First truly next gen experience
This is worth trying harder to get a PS5.
@rjejr They already confirmed it won't be easy until mid 2022.
So heres the thing for me. I've said it in the past that "£70 is to much for a game and I wouldn't be paying it to get the game at launch" and to some degree i still stand by that. But, this looks amazing, as I knew it would and I've just preordered it. The reason why is because of Sony's 'play at home' give away. I picked up 2 or 3 game from that which I didn't have and as a thank you back to Sony for the money saved on them and in support of insomniac, I'm quite happy to pay the £70 this time. So thank you Sony for the gifts 👍🏻
@Juanalf Nothing is more embarrassing than you getting visibly angry over a humorous GIF.
Looks incredible, was there any doubt the way Insomniac have been on such a roll lately?
Can’t wait for the State of Play in a few days to show more of it!
Who is this game not for? It's got it all, and I have a feeling it's going to shatter some records!
@DonJorginho There's nothing to get angry about, you prefer to give credit to big wig CEO's that sit on a desk all day over developers that pour their all so if that's how you roll you do you 🤷
HYPE TIME! June is gonna be freaking sweet between Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Final Fantasy VII Remake: Episode INTERmission.
@Keyblade-Dan Comment of the Day right here, also love your username and avatar! Kingdom Hearts FTW.
You can take that Xbox Series X and shove it Up Your Arsenal
Just WOW. It is a delight to watch the gameplay and graphics.
Cannot wait until June 11
@KayOL77 I never buy games full price. I'm a grown adult with kids and commitments. I'm not going to spend £70 (which is a lot of money!) on a video game. It's nothing personal. I'm just never desperate enough to play something as soon as it comes out. I'm sure the studio behind R&C earn quite a bit more money than I do, so I won't feel too bad about it.
Dangit...my june was already loaded with releases and i had to cancel this one then but after seeing this, my wallet is just gonna take an utter beating in june.
IT LOOKS STUNNING!!! R&C games always do each Gen
@KidBoruto Yeah Rift Apart looks so incredible and thank you ^__^
With each re-watch it is still nearly impossible to get the scale of the worlds, I'm looking into the distance and all i can see is incredile detail, (and things going on, way over there!)
Replaying the upgraded play@home PS4 version and stunning though it is, this is just crazy.
This is WHY I got the PS5, and will replay it to death, worth the money
It looks very good. I'm just still not blown away by anything so far this gen. My PS5 purchase can still wait.
o man this looks great, but I'm not sure I can pay full price for this game. Is it really worth it ? Kind of steep no? .... relax I'm kidding I pre-ordered this weeks ago I'm just poking fun at all the other complainers lol... ya you all know who you are.
@rumple1980 So people should be mocked for not wanting to pay £69.99 for a game???
Okay.
@__jamiie no need to get your panties in a twist I'm just messin
Devo is king. That is all.
@Keyblade-Dan Anytime for a fellow Insomniac and Square-Enix fan .
Do you think we'll be getting a Spider-Man 2 PS5 teaser this year?
@KidBoruto I'm betting on next year for a Spider-Man 2 reveal
@Keyblade-Dan I suppose that makes sense, they don't want to draw attention away from Ratchet & Clank.
@Agramonte OK that New Egg Shuffle thing is just, weird. Had never seen it before so thanks for the link, but that's too much stress for me. Maybe we'll just wait until Christmas? 🤷♂️
@Revengercm Christmas 2022 it is then. I hadn't seen that before, so thanks for the warning. Maybe I'll just go play on my Switch.
@rjejr It is
Trying to help my brother get a 3060. He is older than i am so figure I can take more stress tha he can... 😅
@Agramonte Now THATS a great younger sibling. And yes I can attest the older we get the worse the stress seems to get. I'm turning into my father. (Not just a quip, I've been saying that out loud for a few years now every time I get mad and yell at people like an old man.) Actually that's not stress, that's just being a jerk, nvm
