Ratchet & Clank confirmed by Insomniac for April 20 — a strong month for PS4

Sony locked in the first third of 2016 as a stretch PlayStation fans would remember: one week before Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End finally answered what came next for Nathan Drake, a full remake of Ratchet & Clank would land on PS4.

This was never a mere facelift. Built alongside the film adaptation — which in turn drew from the original 2002 classic — Insomniac’s remake folded new planets, new bosses, extended flight sequences, and a reworked arsenal into the original story, rebuilding the duo’s debut in the generation’s sharpest Pixar-grade visuals.

Insomniac revealed the final cover art, with pre-orders live on the PlayStation Store at €34.99 ahead of the April 20 release date for the intrepid Lombax and his robotic companion.

The tie-in film was confirmed for April 29 in the United States, right behind the game. Nathan Drake’s return or Ratchet’s rebuilt adventure — a genuinely difficult spring decision for PS4 owners at the time. The good news for latecomers: the game won its reviews, and Ratchet & Clank on PS4 remains one of the platform’s best-value showpieces.
