Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble opens mobile pre-registration

Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble has opened pre-registration, turning the familiar action-adventure duo into a mobile multiplayer arena shooter. That may not be the full console-style adventure some fans dream of, but the mobile logic is obvious: short matches, wild weapons, colourful characters and fast chaos fit phones well. The real test will be control feel. Arena shooters live or die on movement, readability and whether every defeat feels fair or like your thumbs betrayed you.

If the weapon energy survives the transition, Ranger Rumble could become a strong mobile spin-off rather than just a famous name in a smaller box.
