Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart reveals new Lombax, Rivet and details of State of Play gameplay

It's the most exciting news for fans of Ratchet and Clank, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Rift Apart on June 11.

More details of the mysterious Lombax Ratchet encountered in the first trailer for the game have been revealed - including her name which is Rivet.

A brand new trailer for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart has also arrived too.

Creative director for Insomniac Games, Marcus Smith says:

"Rivet is a Lombax resistance fighter from another dimension, where the evil Emperor Nefarious hunts all those who oppose him. 

You saw brand-new locations like Nefarious City, and alternate-dimension twists on old favorites like Sargasso and Torren IV along with a sneak-peak at some new weapons and gameplay mechanics.

The song we chose for the trailer has special meaning beyond just being a great, exciting track. It is from the (Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame nominated) band DEVO, a personal favorite of mine, but, some would say more importantly, the band that the incomparable Mark Mothersbaugh co-founded. I’m excited to announce that Mark is the Composer of the Rift Apart soundtrack! 

"Beyond his work in DEVO, you’ve likely heard his compositions across the years whether it was in the original three Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter games, as well as animated series like Rugrats, and the blockbuster film: Thor Ragnarok. We are so thrilled to be collaborating with Mark and cannot wait for you to hear the incredible score he’s come up with."

It was also announced that the next State of Play episode will be focused on Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, with 15 minutes of new gameplay.

 It will be available to watch on PlayStation Twitch and YouTube at 9am this Friday 30th April NZT.
