About Ratchet and Clank

Ratchet and Clank began on PS2 with Ratchet and Clank (2002), Going Commando (2003), Up Your Arsenal (2004) and Deadlocked (2005). The Future line ran Tools of Destruction (2007), Quest for Booty (2008) and A Crack in Time (2009), followed by All 4 One (2011), Full Frontal Assault (2012) and Into the Nexus (2013). The 2016 game retells the original alongside the film, and Rift Apart (2021) introduces Rivet across dimensions.

Insomniac moved on to Spider-Man and Wolverine after Rift Apart, with no new Ratchet dated as of 2026. The series stays active through PS Plus ports, and the studio has said the lombax returns when the right idea lands.

Good to know

Play in release order for the cleanest run, since weapons and planet-hopping build on familiarity. The 2016 game replaces the 2002 original as the modern start, retelling it with current controls and the movie cast. Into the Nexus closes the Future threads that Rift Apart later picks up, so do not skip it before jumping to Rivet.
