Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart Reimagined: Rivet Battles Gameplay, Prologue & 4K Screenshots

Portal GameInformer as part of the publication of preview materials on the game Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart shared some fresh videos of the upcoming exclusive Playstation 5

The first video shows two minutes with cut-scenes and gameplay from the beginning of the gameRatchet and Clank appear at the unity parade to celebrate their past victories, but the celebration is suddenly interrupted by the appearance of Doctor Nefarius and stealing the Measurer.

Using the prologue as an example, the authors explained that when creating Rift Apart, they took into account that not only longtime fans would play the game, but also newcomers who were not familiar with the rich past of the heroes, therefore, in order not to drown in the backstory, they had to build the narrative so as to immediately captivate newbies and convey the essence of what is happening without additional context. Even without knowledge of the past of someone like Nefarius, players will quickly realize that he is a bad joke, and those already familiar with the lore of the universe will find it interesting to look at alternative versions of old places and characters.

In the second video, the journalists showed 7 minutes of fresh gameplay with comments for Rivet… The video allows you to evaluate a piece of the passage of the level with a giant robot, during which the heroine deftly deals with groups of opponents using various devices from her arsenal, ranging from jet boots to several unusual weapons, such as a flying mushroom that can shoot enemies, and a sprayer for topiary, temporarily immobilizing opponents, literally turning them into plants.

A selection of new 4K screenshots has also appeared online:

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be released 11th June PlayStation 5 only.
