Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Shares Details of New Playable Character - Rivet

Sony’s acquisition of Insomniac Games is probably one of the best decisions they’ve ever made, because the developer is in a new, more promising era. After recording fantastic success with the exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man game which is likely to be followed by a sequel soon, they are now also busy with another new game project that is no less interesting, namely Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.

This latest series from the iconic 3D platformer Ratchet & Clank franchise was developed specifically for the PlayStation 5 platform, so the quality of the development team does not compromise. In order to increase the enthusiasm of fans in welcoming the game, Insomniac finally released a gameplay trailer which this time focused on a new character named Rivet.

Just like Ratchet, this new character comes from a species of Lombax creature that is already on the verge of extinction. Rivet is a member of a rebel army from another dimension, where the source of life has been hunted by Emperor Nefarious. As can be seen from the trailer above, Rivet is another playable character who also gets his own portion of gameplay besides Ratchet, where he has his own unique gadgets and abilities in exploration and combat.

For additional information, Insomniac also provides detailed content from the Digital Deluxe Edition sales bundle. This edition features five bonus costumes including Imperial, Scavenger, Android, Rebel, and Hacker (2 costumes for Ratchet and 3 costumes for Rivet). Although Ratchet has always been known as the main character in the franchise, this game also seems to be sharing the spotlight equally with Rivet.

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart itself is scheduled to be released on June 11, exclusively for the PlayStation 5. State of Play exclusively for this game on April 29th, so we can anticipate a new gameplay presentation.
