Hey everyone, wanted to drop by and share the happy news that Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time has officially gone gold and been released to manufacturing in North America. This means you can expect the game on October 27 in North America at your favorite game shop. It’s been an incredible experience seeing this game come together at Insomniac over the last year. From our earliest prototypes of Clank’s time gameplay, to the final space exploration levels that allow Ratchet to land on and explore spherical moons, there has been a ton of effort and love put into this game by the team here at Insomniac. We’re really excited to get it out to you guys, our fans, and let you experience the conclusion of the Ratchet & Clank Future story arc.
There will be much new content hitting over the next couple of weeks – including some special coverage on G4’s X-Play where you’ll see one of our time travel levels for the first time.
In the meantime though, head over to Game Informer to check out this special video we put together for their recent site re-launch. It’s all about the replay mode in the game. We spent a lot of time adding extra replay features, a special uber-boss you have to collect all of the Zoni to fight, the Insomniac Museum, optional super-hard Clank puzzles, and of course trophies, which are in addition to the Insomniac-created “Skill Points” we’ve had in all of our games since Spyro: Ripto’s Rage.
That’s all for now – if you haven’t pre-ordered the game already, we have some great in-game pre-order bonuses from our various retail partners Gamestop, Amazon, Best Buy and Game Crazy. And if you haven’t checked out the Future series of games yet, Tools of Destruction is available as a Greatest Hits title now at $29.99 – so you have a couple weeks to catch up (when you’re not playing UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, of course).
If you have any questions, post them below and I’ll do my best to answer as many as I can!
Awesome, I’ve been waiting for this game since RCF:Q4B. I have a question though, if the game comes out the 27th, then how come gamestop lowered the date to the 20th? its really quit annoying, considering the fact that they did mark the release on the 27th before.
Nice. I want to pre-order this but I’m confused though? What place/store has what pre-order bonus? In Canada?
@51 They switched it back to the 27th.
Congrats..insomniacs…this im sure is going to be one of the great PS3 games of the year..and i just want to add my 4 cents when i say that games like these xclusives..need to be alil more advance..in the multiplayer field of gaming.for instance..why oohh why not make this game a co-op adventure game..there are TWO MAIN CHARACTERS and it will make the game SUPER FUN. being able to play as Rachet OR Clank in a game would be a UNIQUE XPERIANCE..but i guess you guys really focus on GRAPHICS and WEAPONS..which I think is already great..but whatever..maybe on the NEXT game..I HOPE!
Well, Ratchet and Clank are sort of split up in this game because of the kidnapping.
Again though, we really wanted to create an epic single-player experience to close out this story arc – and sort of be a love letter to our fans.
