10 Major Video Game Sequels Coming In 2021
6. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
The last time we had a space jumping adventure with Ratchet & Clank was in 2016. The game wasn't really a remake, just merely a re-imagination of the first game, as well as a movie tie-in. It was a solid experience with exciting gameplay and lovely characters, but we haven't seen anything particularly "new" since Into the Nexus in 2013.
That's all going to shift with Rift Apart in either Q1 or Q2 of 2021. Expected to be a PlayStation 5 exclusive, we will reunite with the wonderful Ratchet & Clank as they cross dimensions in different realms to stop a villainous tyrant from manipulating the disastrous quantum catastrophe caused by a malfunctioning machine to launch a scheme to exterminate organic life in all universes.
The game has several gameplay parallels with Ratchet & Clank (2016) and other games in the franchise. This is the first game in the series to incorporate the idea of near-instant real-time travel between various locations, planets and other dimensions, all through an inter-dimensional portal device (and thanks to the PS5's SSD).
Rift Apart will take advantage of the PlayStation 5 Dualsense Controller, Tempest Engine and specialized ray-tracing technology to support advanced haptic feedback, 3D spatial audio, and improve player interactivity.
It's going to be fantastic to go on another journey with our favourite Lombax.
