Gameplay
In this screenshot, Ratchet uses a "Rift Tether" to quickly warp between areas.

The game shares many gameplay similarities with Ratchet & Clank (2016) and other entries in the series. The main playable character is Ratchet. There will also be a playable female Lombax. [6] The player navigates Ratchet through diverse environments, defeating enemies with an array of different weapons and gadgets, and traversing obstacles. A new mechanic is introduced using rift portals to move instantly to new locations or new worlds.[7] The game will take advantage of the PlayStation 5's Dualsense controller, Tempest Engine and dedicated ray tracing hardware to support haptic feedback, 3D spatial audio and real-time ray tracing effects, enhancing the player immersion experience.[8][9] The game will feature the return of planets explored in previous entries with certain alterations, as well as new ones.[10] With the increased processing power and inclusion of a custom solid-state drive storage in the PlayStation 5, the game will feature a greater variety of enemies, visual effects, and objects within gameplay scenes.[1] Furthermore, the evolutionary enhancements in the game design aim to significantly reduce loading times when jumping between worlds, allowing for a seamless gaming experience for the player.[1]
