Summary

  • PlayStation said Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble will launch with 12 playable heroes and six modes, adding fresh specifics ahead of a still-undated global release.
  • Oh Bibi, working with Insomniac, is building the free-to-play iOS and Android game around team-based PvP arena battles with dynamic PvE elements inside a Captain Qwark training simulation.
  • The launch roster mixes Ratchet, Clank and other familiar faces with mostly new characters, while the mode lineup includes both a battle-royale variant and a soccer-style contest.
  • After a soft launch in several non-US regions over recent months, PlayStation has opened pre-registration for global players and says more heroes will arrive after launch.
