Rifts between dimensions
Released on 11 June 2021 on PS5, then on 26 July 2023 on PC, Rift Apart sends Ratchet and Clank into parallel dimensions where they meet Rivet, a resistance Lombax. The game switches between both heroes, mixing platforming, planet exploration and a wacky arsenal, with quick jumps through rifts.
