Insomniac will premiere new Ratchet & Clank PS5 gameplay this week

Insomniac will premiere new Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart PlayStation 5 gameplay during Gamescom: Opening Night Live this week.

Host Geoff Keighley said on Tuesday that the gameplay would entail a longer and uncut version of the demo shown during June’s PlayStation 5 showcase.

The show is set to start at 11am PT / 2pm ET /7pm BST on Thursday, August 27 and feature 38 games, but focus on titles that have already been announced.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart for PlayStation 5 in June.

Insomniac Games creative director Marcus Smith said at the time that the new “interdimensional adventure” has been built from the ground up for the next-gen console.

“All of our alien worlds are filled with density and life previously unseen,” he said. “Ratchet’s all-new arsenal is more exciting than ever thanks to the DualSense controller’s advanced feedback.”

Insominaic Games also announced Marvel Spider-Man Miles Morales during the PS5 software reveal event. It will be released during the console’s holiday 2020 launch window.

Sony acquired California-based Insomniac Games in August 2019.
