A Ratchet and Clank multiplayer game is coming to iOS and Android soon

A New Ratchet & Clank Game Hits Mobile, But Not PS5

Insomniac's beloved action platformer series has been relatively quiet in recent years, with its most recent outing being 2016's Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Fans had hoped for another installment soon, but it seems we won't have to wait much longer - albeit not on the PlayStation 5.

A new multiplayer game, titled Ranger Rumble, is set to arrive on iOS and Android devices shortly. Developed by mobile developer Oh BiBi, this fast-paced arena shooter retains platforming elements, boasting colorful visuals and a variety of playable characters with unique abilities and arsenal options. The game features multiple modes, including a soccer-style competition.

While it's free-to-play, gamers can expect microtransactions - a common feature in mobile games. Customization is also available for players to personalize their characters.

The Ratchet & Clank series has made its mark on mobile platforms before, with the release of Going Mobile back in 2005 and Before the Nexus eight years later. However, there's a peculiar footnote: an original sequel called Clone Home was slated for Java phones in 2006 but was canceled. Undeterred by this setback, fans discovered a copy of the game on a phone, cracked its encryption, and made it available for download last month. It seems that Insomniac isn't involved with this mobile take, however, which is why we're seeing Ranger Rumble from Oh BiBi instead.
 
OMG u guys!! ๐Ÿคฉ I'm so hyped about the new Ranger Rumble game!!! ๐ŸŽฎ it's like my fave Ratchet & Clank series finally gets a mobile fix after ages! ๐Ÿ‘€ I mean, who needs PS5 when we can play this on our phone and Android devices?! ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ’ป I just hope it's not gonna be one of those super grindy games with lots of microtransactions... ๐Ÿค‘ but like, customization options for characters? Yaaas, that's a win in my book! ๐Ÿ˜
 
Yaaas ๐ŸŽ‰, I'm so hyped about the new Ranger Rumble game! It sounds like a blast ๐Ÿ’ฅ, and I love that it's got those platforming elements mixed in with some sick multiplayer action ๐Ÿคฉ. The fact that it's free-to-play is a major plus, too - who doesn't love getting into a new game without breaking the bank? ๐Ÿค‘ And customization options? Yes please! ๐Ÿ‘ It's awesome to see mobile gaming keep pushing out fresh content, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an eventual PS5 port... but hey, at least we've got something new and fun to play in the meantime ๐Ÿ˜„.
 
I feel like some devs are just trying to tap into the nostalgia of classic games rather than pushing boundaries - I mean, we've got a legit clone of Clone Home on our phones now! But at the same time, it's cool that Insomniac isn't getting involved in mobile games right now. It's all about finding the balance between innovation and familiarity, right? ๐Ÿค”

And can we talk for a sec about the importance of community? I mean, fans were able to make that original Clone Home game available again by working together - it's a great example of how gamers can come together to share knowledge and create something amazing. ๐Ÿ’ป

But also, it's interesting that Oh BiBi is taking inspiration from the Ratchet & Clank series while still putting their own spin on things. It shows that there's room for both old-school charm and new-school innovation in gaming ๐Ÿš€
 
Ugh, bad news for all you PS5 fans ๐Ÿค•... apparently the new Ratchet & Clank game isn't coming to your console ๐Ÿ“ด anyway! I mean, who needs a console exclusive when mobile devs like Oh BiBi can just drop a similar game on iOS and Android? It's like Insomniac is leaving the door open for everyone else to fill it... not exactly reassuring for die-hard fans ๐Ÿคž.
 
๐Ÿค” I'm low-key hyped about Ranger Rumble but also kinda disappointed that Ratchet & Clank's next game won't be on PS5 ๐ŸŽฎ. It's been ages since we've seen the series on mobile, and I was hoping for a new adventure with our favorite characters. Oh BiBi's taking it in a different direction, though - who wouldn't want to play as their own soccer star character? ๐Ÿ† The game looks fun, but I'm still holding out hope that Insomniac will surprise us soon ๐Ÿคž.
 
Yaaas! ๐ŸŽ‰ I'm so hyped about the new Ratchet & Clank game on mobile!!! ๐Ÿ“ฑ It's been a while since we've seen a new installment in the series and now we get to experience it on our phones. Although it's not on PS5, I think this is still a awesome opportunity for fans to play the game on-the-go. Ranger Rumble sounds like so much fun, especially with all the different playable characters and modes! ๐Ÿคฉ I'm also glad that customization options are available - can't wait to personalize my character. Microtransactions might be a bummer, but hey, it's all part of the mobile gaming experience, right? ๐Ÿ˜Š Bring on the gameplay!
 
๐Ÿค” I don't know if I'm excited about a new multiplayer game based on the Ratchet & Clank series being released on mobiles... I mean, the series has such a loyal fanbase and Insomniac's involvement is pretty big. How's it going to compare to the original games? ๐ŸŽฎ On the other hand, I do love that fans have found a way to play Clone Home on their old phones - kinda cool to see how much determination they had back then ๐Ÿ˜…. But with microtransactions and all that jazz...
 
omg i just found out that my ex used to work at insomniac games!!! i was talking to him on the phone last year and he was like "oh yeah, we're working on some new ratchet & clank stuff" but he didn't give me any deets lol. anyway, i'm so hyped for ranger rumble! i've been waiting for a new ratchet game forever ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ‘พ. i love that it's free-to-play and has all these customization options... my friends and i are already planning to squad up and play together ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ‘ซ. btw, has anyone else tried the clone home game on java phones? that's wild lol ๐Ÿ˜‚
 
I'm not really sure what's going on here. A new Ratchet & Clank game drops on mobile, but no PS5? I mean, I know Insomniac has been quiet with the series lately, but come on! Can't they just give us a proper console game for once?

And what's up with Ranger Rumble, though? It looks like it's trying to blend some platforming elements with this fast-paced arena shooter vibe. Not sure if I'm down for it. Free-to-play and microtransactions, ugh... always a red flag for me.

I do appreciate the nostalgia factor, though - who can forget Clone Home being cracked by fans back in 2006? That's dedication right there! But still, Insomniac should be involved in any official Ratchet & Clank game, you know?

Let's just hope this mobile game doesn't overshadow the real deal when it finally comes out. Can we please get an announcement on that already?! ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜
 
So there's another Ratchet & Clank game comin' out on mobile but not on PS5... thats weird? I mean, I love the series too and was hopin for a new one soon. But I guess Insomniac is focusin on somethin else now. Oh BiBi did good with Ranger Rumble tho, it looks like a lot of fun! Fast-paced arena shooter with platforming elements? Sounds like a blast! ๐Ÿคฉ Can't wait to try it out, but im curious... who's gonna play as the characters and what kinda gameplay can we expect?
 
man, i'm so hyped about ranger rumble! ๐Ÿคฉ it's awesome to see insomniac's beloved ratchet & clank series making a comeback on mobile devices - even if it's not the ps5 version we all wanted ๐Ÿ˜” but hey, free-to-play and customizable characters? yeah, sign me up! ๐Ÿ‘ i'm already playing this on my android device and it's so much fun with friends. the graphics aren't as polished as some other games, but who cares when you can play it on-the-go? ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ‘พ
 
OMG, I'm so hyped about the new Ranger Rumble game on mobile ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ“ฑ! As a gamer who's also in school, it's always awesome to see popular franchises like Ratchet & Clank adapt to new platforms. Although it's not coming out on PS5, I think iOS and Android will do just fine ๐Ÿ˜Š. Free-to-play games can be a bit sketchy, but if the gameplay is fun, who cares about microtransactions, right? ๐Ÿค‘ Can't wait to try it out with my friends during lunch breaks ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ‘ซ. Maybe this means more mobile gaming opportunities for us students when we're not stuck in class ๐Ÿ˜‚!
 
Ugh ๐Ÿค•, just another reminder of how the industry is moving away from proper console releases ๐Ÿ“บ. I mean, who needs a full-fledged PS5 game when you can have a half-baked mobile title that's all about microtransactions? ๐Ÿ’ธ And don't even get me started on the state of gaming preservation - it's crazy to think that people had to hack together an old Insomniac game from like 20 years ago just to play it. ๐Ÿคฏ Ranger Rumble is just another cash-grab, and I'm not impressed ๐Ÿ˜’
 
OMG u guys! ๐Ÿคฏ I'm so hyped about the new Ratchet & Clank game on mobile!!! ๐Ÿ˜Ž I mean, it's not on PS5 but it's still a game and who doesn't love some good ol' action platforming?! ๐ŸŽฎ Ranger Rumble looks so sick with all those colorful visuals and playable characters! ๐Ÿคช And let's be real, free-to-play is always a win in my book... ๐Ÿ’ธ Plus, customization is available? Yes, please! ๐Ÿ˜„ I'm totally gonna download this ASAP! ๐Ÿ‘‰
 
Ugh ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ I'm so disappointed they're not releasing the new Ratchet & Clank game on PS5... I mean, can't Insomniac just give us a proper console sequel already? ๐Ÿค‘ They need to stop messing around with mobile games and focus on making something for real gamers. And what's up with all these free-to-play games that are just designed to nickel-and-dime you? ๐Ÿคฏ Ranger Rumble sounds like a decent game, but it's not the same as playing the actual Ratchet & Clank series. Come on Insomniac, step up your game! ๐Ÿ”ฅ
 
I'm so hyped for a new Ratchet & Clank game, but I gotta say, a mobile game doesn't count as much to me ๐Ÿค”... I mean, it's not the same experience as playing on PS5 or even Xbox. The fact that it's free-to-play and microtransactions are involved is kinda a bummer too ๐Ÿ˜’. But hey, at least it's something! Ranger Rumble looks like it could be fun, especially if you're into multiplayer games ๐ŸŽฎ. Has anyone else played the original Clone Home? I've heard stories about how fans cracked its encryption to play it... crazy stuff ๐Ÿคฏ
 
I'm intrigued by the prospect of a new Ratchet & Clank game on mobile ๐Ÿค”. While it's not ideal that it won't be available on PS5, I think it's great to see Insomniac giving their fans something to look forward to. The addition of Ranger Rumble is an interesting move, and I'm curious to see how the gameplay will translate from console to mobile ๐Ÿ“ฑ. I do have some concerns about microtransactions and the potential impact on player experience ๐Ÿ’ธ. Still, it's heartening to know that a community-driven effort has uncovered an older game like Clone Home, showcasing the passion of fans for the series ๐Ÿ˜Š.
 
I'm both excited and a bit underwhelmed by the news of a new Ratchet & Clank game on mobiles ๐Ÿค”. I mean, who doesn't love the series? But it's just not on the PS5, you know? ๐Ÿ˜ I guess that's progress for Insomniac, taking their brand to smaller screens first. Ranger Rumble looks like fun, though - fast-paced action and customizable characters sound right up my alley ๐ŸŽฎ. Still, can't help but feel a little disappointed it won't be on the big console this time around ๐Ÿ“บ. Oh well, more mobile gaming for us old folks who need to stay active ๐Ÿ˜‚!
 
๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm like 3 days late to the party... what's up with a new Ratchet & Clank game on mobile but not PS5 tho?! ๐Ÿ˜’ was really hoping for an update soon! Not sure if it's still free-to-play, microtransactions are a big turn off lol. Guess that's just how they wanna make money on mobile games. ๐Ÿค‘ But hey at least we got something new to play, even if it's not Insomniac's take. ๐Ÿ˜Š
