Insomniac Games have released a story overview trailer for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart; the final “almost launch party” trailer.
As previously reported, recurring villain Dr. Nefarious has obtained the Dimensionator; and in the ensuing battle becomes damaged. This begins to tear the fabric of reality apart; separating Ratchet and Clank. They are sent into a dimension where “Emperor Nefarious” succeeded in his goals, and female Lombax Rivet is part of the resistance.
As part of a series of “almost launch party” videos, Zurkon Jr. had previously highlighted the game’s weapons and traversal abilities, along with planets and exploration.
The story trailer also shows more than just story; with hints at pocket dimensions, Clank puzzles, and bosses. This will also be the final launch party trailer. You can find the story overview trailer below.
You can find the full rundown (via PlayStation) below.
