New Ratchet & Clank Media

Some new screenshots have been released for Ratchet & Clank: A Crack In Time. The latest addition to the best selling series will at long last answer some of fans’ most asked questions as it concludes the story arc from Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest For Booty.

After discovering that Clank’s disappearance was engineered by Dr. Nefarious, Ratchet races to rescue his best friend. Unfortunately, he discovers that Clank’s capture is just the beginning of Nefarious’s lastest diabolical plot. In this title players will be put into the role of both Ratchet and Clank as they attempt to reunite and save the universe. 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?

You’ll be able to travel freely through non-linear levels with new space gameplay that allows players to engage in space battles, explore the surrounding star system, and discover hidden items and collectables. You’ll be able to use Ratchet’s new Hoverboots to travel at high speeds, soar to new heights and jump off ramps to get to distant locations in search of Zoni and other rare collectables. You’ll get to experience all new Clank gameplay and special “time” abilities that bring meaning to “past selves”.
