After getting us acquainted with the new female Lombax in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, developer Insomniac Games has revealed that the new character is being voiced by Jennifer Hale. Perhaps best known for her work as the female Commander Shepard in the Mass Effect trilogy, the prolific voice actor lends her vocals to the PlayStation 5 exclusive arriving on 11th June 2021.
The California-based studio confirmed the news on Twitter, stating: "Now that you're more familiar with Rivet, some of you have been curious about her voice. We're delighted to announce that [Jennifer Hale] is voicing our mysterious new Lombax in #RatchetPS5!" You may know Hale as Naomi Hunter from Metal Gear Solid, Samus Aran in Metroid Prime, or Rosalind Lutece in BioShock Infinite. You can check out Jennifer Hale's entire breadth of work through here, which dates all the way back to 1994. It's safe to say that Rivet is in very good hands, then.
If you missed the news from earlier today, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart will be the focus of a State of Play livestream this Thursday, but you can get a fresh look at the game with a new gameplay trailer. What game would you recognise Jennifer Hale most from? Let us know in the comments below.

And The award for least shocking female voice over in a video game goes to..... 😄
My favorite Lombax on the Citadel.
So...
FemRatchet?
I don't really like Rachet and Clank, but I kind of want this game. A lot.
So Rivet is voiced by the same woman who voiced the female version of the MC from Mass Effect and Samus Aran from Metroid
Two sc-if series.... and seemingly, Rivet is a female version of our main character ratchet...
I see what you did there insomniac, very clever casting
Had the chance to meet her once, lovely woman.
Can’t wait for this game!
Good casting!
Am i supporting £70 games if i receive it as a gift?
@Loftimus someone is supporting them for you
@Voltan well we can't be having that. Ninja gaiden collection, it is!
They name drop BioShock Infinite instead of ME Trilogy? Interesting choice xD
All hail the mighty Hale.
Ah yes, the female Nolan North.
@Loftimus Jeez man just wait for a sale or a pre-owned copy
@HotGoomba i will be. Tried to get hyped yesterday and even gave myself permission to buy day one, but can't bring myself to pre order. Ridiculous price.
@The_New_Butler that is a good website but i've got the all digital ps5. The best deal i can find anywhere is £90 of psn credit for £81.
Female Shepherd?! NOPE! Lyris 🤬 Titanborn!
@Loftimus why did you get digital ps5 if you didn't want to pay for $70 games?
