The gameplay shows that Dr. Nefarious has a weapon called ‘Dimensionator’, which allows one to travel to other dimensions. But Ratchet tries to destroy the weapon and all hell breaks loose. The duo fights their way to Nefarious, but is separated as they fall into different dimensions. And there Clank meets the female Ratchet? We’ll find out soon enough.
In an interaction with the developers of Insomniac, they mentioned that the game has no load screens at all. This is made possible by their lightning fast SSD. This allows them to move the dimensions in the game almost instantly. The DualSense controller will also provide a more immersive experience for this game.
