Here at Push Square Towers, we’ve kinda just decided that Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will get a release date at The Game Awards next week. We don’t have any evidence for that, other than that it makes sense. Right? In fact, we’re expecting a decent presence from PlayStation, with an Uncharted Movie trailer and potentially even a The Last of Us: Part II multiplayer unveiling.
But just going back to the Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart thing – it can’t be a coincidence that this massive billboard has appeared in Glasgow, can it? Sony has gone a bit mental with marketing in Europe, and it did even rename a London Underground station after the dynamic duo. But somehow this amazing set of signposts seems pertinent to us. Is the game close?
Insomniac Games did say that it’d be a launch window title, and the Japanese giant seems really eager to establish its next-gen console hard and early. January? February? We’re still confident that we’re going to get a release date next week, so let’s just wait and see what The Game Awards bring.

Such a cool set of billboards!
Please don’t mess it up, insomniac:)
@Mega-Gazz I think it's gonna be brilliant, Insomniac are on a roll. Can't wait!
Can't wait! Hopefully there is a Ratchet and Clank Collection with all the PS2 and PS3 R&C games,
who am I kidding, that'll never happen!
Yooo I would have totally seen that if we hadn’t been put into Tier 4 in the middle of a deadly pandemic
You know, I have absolutely no idea where that might be. The horrid blue fence suggests Govan but it’s probably along one of the motorways.
Really looking forward to this. So hope it is soon.
As much as I really enjoyed the PS4 one the story reimagining just wasn’t as strong as previous entries. Glad to see where back to the continuation from the future series
@HotGoomba___Rebrand if they got someone like Toys For Bob to remake the older games like they did Crash and Spyro, I'd be looking for that pre-order button right this moment.
@get2sammyb this is off topic but i wanted to ask one of u guys about this. I read that the UK released a vaccine for covid today and was just wanting to know more about it. Any info would be nice. I truly hopes it works out good for u guys. Im ready for this to end. Stay safe.
Can we get a prediction voting for Game Awards like we usually had for E3? would be cool!
I'm so excited for this game!
@ellsworth004 Look up BBC News. Their our state media in the loosest terms so the official line from our government is there in all its glory. The Oxford one’s looking pretty good though, vaccination starts next week!
Let’s hope January! Sign me up for a preorder on this one ☑️
Well played Europe.
This is perhaps the one game of next gen that I’ve been most excited for. The clips we’ve seen so far really show off the hardware capabilities of being able to move between differing worlds at such a fast pace. And in a glorious resolution too. Visually this game looks as though it’s going to be absolutely amazing.
I’ve never actually played any of the previous R&C games but will definitely be pre-ordering this.
My most-anticipated PS5 game. Love the series and the PS4 re-imagining of the original got things back on track. Can't wait to see where this goes. The teasers have been insane.
Ps5 first year will be on fire, ratchet & clank, returnal, kena, horizon 2, gran turismo 7, maybe gow 2, and others 😃
@nessisonett did yall have another lockdown recently?
@Voltan I Would Be Nice If Sony Got Them To Remake The Jak And Daxter Games.
@ellsworth004 Currently in the middle of one at least in my area of Glasgow, think the English one finished a couple of days ago!
@nessisonett im afraid we are gettimg ready for another one. I think some states already have. Where i work we have had 42 cases, over 150 laid off for being exposed to someone with a positive test and sadly one fatality. Im so afraid they are gonna shut down the plant but im also afraid of what will happen if they dont.
Dude. Duuude. Duuuuuuuuuuude. Dude.
@ellsworth004 Stay safe out there, at least try to make it to this new Ratchet and Clank!
@HotGoomba___Rebrand
"Hopefully there is a Ratchet and Clank Collection with all the PS2 and PS3 R&C games"
I have ALL Ratchet & Clank PS3 games + Deadlock, Size Matters on PS2 + Secret Agent Clank PSP + Ratchet & Clank PS4. 😛
@Anti-Matter I still don't have a PS3 but playing R&C games would be it's only use.
Ratchet and Clank was the game that convinced me to get a PS5 at launch, January or February does look likely and it seems to have been in a very playable state for a while now. Astro Bot was the game to show off the controller but this will be the one to really show off the hardware I feel
The only game I've seen so far that looks like a proper generation leap.
Ohh, i want this game to land by March.... Make it happen! Literally the only year 1 exclusive i really care tremendously for, even if just because i haven't finished the first of the two sequel games yet!
Hope they also show something completly new at the VGAs
Sony should roll out a new wave of PS5 so maybe we could buy one and play their first party games...
Very excited to play this game, especially since playing Spider-Man, what an amazing studio. Only problem is... PS5 is my first PlayStation since PS3, so I have a rather large backlog from the PS5 release titles and PS Plus Collection. Time to apply some serious self control and wait for this until I have cleared that 'cos it looks like this is getting ready to land.
Ahhh my city! I dont think this is far from me going by the little building on the side. Impressive advertising but I hope it doesnt distract drivers too much! Cant wait for Rift Apart though.
I've downloaded the PS4 R&C remake to prep for this and it's a super fun game. The last one I played was the original on PS2, which was also great. I feel like the R&C games have never got the shake they deserve, maybe a rift apart will finally get the series on the map now they have a bit of faith coming off the back of Spiderman. It's a shame they couldn't make it a Christmas release though, I think that really would have made it a dead cert for huge success.
It's definitely imminent.
If there are billboards up, then there's a launch relatively imminent I'd suggest. Marketing like this for a big title usually starts 1 to 2 months out.
With that out if the way... man, are those billboards cool looking. The purple really pops next to the miserable looking Glasgow sky. Perhaps that's why they chose Glasgow to unveil them. lol.
@get2sammyb Here in Berlin we got this beauty: https://youtu.be/YmsEDlXOmh8
A release date at TGA is a good call, I really hope you're right!!
Hopefully the release is close:)
@get2sammyb it's already got a PEGI 7 age rating!!!
This has got to be sooner rather than later
My level of hype for R&C is immeasurable! Been a fan since the 02 original, getting it in good ole Woolworths when I was 10 xD
I'm saying they will push for Christmas as a holiday surprise. (This would be actually possible if gaming was all digital by now.)
@nessisonett Also based in Glasgow, I am that bored inside after work that I might go on a stroll and try and find them haha! But probably on a motorway, like you said, so nahhhh.
@stocko It does look a bit like the motorway out towards the Fort but I don’t recognise it at all. Usually the big billboard near the massive Tesco past Springburn has the same sorta adverts so I’d be more likely to see it out that way as it’s closer!
@mrmartinrohr I don't think that's likely but would be nice but if the discs for the game existed (and they'd have to by now), we'd probably know
Oh well, I suppose a long trailer for R&C w/ the release date at the end would be reason enough to watch TGA while I'm eating my 1st night of Hanukkah dinner.
Ah my most anticipated game is getting the marketing push that it deserves.
I got to much to play :-/ (I am not complaining) It's just to soon for me but I guess it will be cheaper once I finish my 10+ games I still goto play Right back to Spiderman
I want it NOW!! This looks amazing
I would love to see a Rift Apart release date announcement!
Also maybe a PS5 collection of the OG series and Future series?
