Everyone here at Insomniac has been working really hard to bring you Ratchet and Clank’s latest adventure, Into the Nexus, and we’re happy to announce that it will be available in stores and online on November 12th, 2013!

Ratchet’s Pyronox Armor, available as a pre-order bonus at participating retailers, is inspired by Gadgetron’s popular Infernox Armor. This lightweight, durable suit is for the fashion-conscious adventurer. Besides granting a 5% damage-reduction, it also all but guarantees “Best-Dressed” awards at high-school reunions.

Additionally, if you pre-order via Amazon.com, you’ll score a huge package of R&C-themed content for PlayStation Home – a value of roughly $30.

That’s all for now. The wait for more classic Ratchet & Clank is almost over! Follow Insomniac on Facebook and Twitter for the latest R&C news.

$30, not bad.

I'm expecting a 10 hour campaign with meaty weapons and gadgets.

EU for €29.99 on November 13th for those wondering.

[Suzzopher]

I have this pre-ordered from Amazon for £16.60. This and Zelda Link Between Worlds are my most wanted games this year.

 

[sweetvar26]

I like the price.

 

[VisceralBowl]

I just hope I can change armors back to older (weaker) ones. Every game in the series has had this problem.

 

[Derrick01]

Nice that gives me a couple of days to play it before PS4 comes out. More than enough time considering this isn't going to be as long as ACiT.

 

[Nakazato]

yopo ?

 

[Courage]

yopo ?

Considering a Vita version hasn't been announced, yes.

 

[TheRealTalker]

I also like the price....
------------------------------------------------------------------------

now that this game is almost done..... they just need to make a new Planet Exploring/Space battling PS4 R&C that will officially trump ACiT completely

I don't care who makes it just make it amazing

 

[Fuzzy]

I like the price.

Price has been known for quite some time. I preordered it back in August for $20 CAD.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Cannot wait. Hope it's as good as Crack in Time. Love that game.

 

[Rembrandt]

Was All 4 One or Full Frontal Assault or any of the later Future series any good?

 

[Nakazato]

Considering a Vita version hasn't been announced, yes.

Bought then. Ill let my GF play it on my vita.

Was All 4 One or Full Frontal Assault or any of the later Future series any good?

A4O wasnt bad but it was far from being good

FA is shit. The kind of shit that kills brands.

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

So I have three days to beat this game. Challenge accepted.

 

[Zalman]

I'll get it if it's as good as ToD/QfB/ACiT.

 

[Possum]

So when is it coming to Xbox One?

 

[Espada]

Cannot wait. Hope it's as good as Crack in Time. Love that game.

Seriously, I'm dying to get my hands on this game. It's been a long time since we've had a traditional R&C game, and if this is half as good as ACiT it'll be a treat. I like the price point, but my wallet is definitely being squeezed this holiday season.

 

[Spiegel]

Bought then. Ill let my GF play it on my vita.

You didn't get the joke.

You Only Pay Once because there's only one version announced (for now).

 

[kaching]

So I have three days to beat this game. Challenge accepted.

They should make that an actual achievement.

 

[Nakazato]

You didn't get the joke.

You Only Pay Once because there's only one version announced (for now).

way over my head ; ;

 

[Oneself]

I also like the price. Hopefully I'll have time to beat it before I get my PS4 (day 1). I'm getting the disc version praying it won't be a download card or something.
I feel it's kind of sent to die though

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Cool. This will definitely get a rent.

 

[jayu26]

Lol, I died at eighteen axis.

 

[satam55]

Insomniac should've made this game cross-gen with the PS4.

 

[MaDKaT]

Very much looking forward to this. Cant wait.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Was All 4 One or Full Frontal Assault or any of the later Future series any good?

Crack in Time rivals Up Your Arsenal for best game in the series, and one of the best games of its respective generation.

The two spin-offs were mediocre to me, but they have their fans.

This seems like a return to form for the series, and even though its budget-priced/sized, its by the Crack in Time team/creative director, so I have no doubt this will be a quality R&C adventure.

Also, there is a disc version right? Not a download card or some shit?

 

[Nakazato]

Yep... Im sure this game will be packed in with ps3 bundles as well.

 

[Courage]

Crack in Time rivals Up Your Arsenal for best game in the series, and one of the best games of its respective generation.

oh god, this makes me want to go down the Ratchet rabbithole so badly. Played all 3 original games during the summer and loved them. Now I have to play the PS3 ones.

 

[confuziz]

No co-op? Meh. No buy.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Crack in Time rivals Up Your Arsenal for best game in the series, and one of the best games of its respective generation.

I second this statement. Two of my favorites of all time.

 

[merrick97]

Release it 3 days before the PS4?!

makes no sense to me.

 

[jstevenson]

No co-op? Meh. No buy.

Damned if we do. Damned if we don't. Hah

 

[IAmRandom31]

I second this statement. Two of my favorites of all time.

Third!

Tools of Destruction / Crack in Time. High up on my " best of this gen " list. I still play both often.

Will buy this one instantly.

 

[Toppot]

Also, there is a disc version right? Not a download card or some shit?

Yep, you can get a physical disc version.

 

[SykoTech]

Will buy.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Hard copy will be mine.

 

[funkystudent]

How long is this?

Is it Quest for Booty length or is it closer to a full game?

 

[Derrick01]

No co-op? Meh. No buy.

No it's an actual Ratchet game. No lame co-op.

 

[Chronology]

Definitely grabbing this, though I'm still hoping on a Vita version announcement. The Zero-G idea sounds really great.

 

[GalacticMouse]

Bought then. Ill let my GF play it on my vita.

I think you're missing something...or I'm missing a joke...

 

[Suzzopher]

How long is this?

Is it Quest for Booty length or is it closer to a full game?

I thought they said longer than QFB but shorter than ACiT.

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Looks awesome. Hopefully not to short!

 

[jstevenson]

How long is this?

Is it Quest for Booty length or is it closer to a full game?

Not as long as ACIT or TOD, but definitely longer than Q4B, lots more side stuff to do, more / deeper weapons and stuff like challenge mode.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Kinda a bummer they said it was shorter than crack in time, but the price reflects that. Would be a hard pill to swallow if it was $60.

 

[Milennia]

Shit i really wanted this but its so close to ps4 that i dont know if ill have the cash, need every bit for launch

 

[Suzzopher]

Not as long as ACIT or TOD, but definitely longer than Q4B, lots more side stuff to do, more / deeper weapons and stuff like challenge mode.

Cool, does it have space travel like ACiT or back to the older ways?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Will there be a demo? Please say yes.

 

[Twio]

Hopefully I'll have enough time to finish it before the PS4 Launch. School is usually brutal for me in November.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

oh god, this makes me want to go down the Ratchet rabbithole so badly. Played all 3 original games during the summer and loved them. Now I have to play the PS3 ones.

and Tools of Destruction is pretty damn solid, if not as good as UYA, GC, or CiT. I put it around the same level as Deadlocked, as in totally a game worth playing if you have any love of the franchise.

I'd say from 2000-2009, R&C was probably my favorite new franchise of the decade. The best games(UYA, CiT) are some of the best of their respective generations, and even the "lesser" ones like Deadzoned are very good, very funny, lots of great action, an addictive gameplay loop of upgrading weapons and collecting bolts for even more fun combat.
