Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble has gone live globally on iOS and Android today, giving PlayStation one of its most recognisable franchises a purpose-built free-to-play mobile outing. Developed with Oh BiBi, Ranger Rumble does not attempt to squeeze Rift Apart onto a touchscreen and hope nobody notices. Instead, Captain Qwark has assembled a combat simulation for recruiting Galactic Rangers, creating the excuse required for a multiplayer arena shooter filled with the series' gloriously irresponsible weaponry.
The launch build features a roster of distinct playable characters and several multiplayer formats, including fast PvP combat and larger arena battles. Pre-registration rewards include currencies and cosmetics, with community milestones having offered an exclusive Clank Suit. The interesting part is what Ranger Rumble represents for Sony.
PlayStation's mobile ambitions have occasionally felt like a corporate presentation waiting for the games to arrive; using Ratchet & Clank for an original mobile-first title is considerably more concrete. The challenge now is retention. Mobile multiplayer shooters are plentiful, and familiar Lombax ears will only get players through the door.
Still, if any franchise understands the value of giving people ridiculous weapons and encouraging them to fire first, Ratchet & Clank has thirty years of relevant work experience.
