With Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, the folks at PlayStation are taking a big gamble in their attempt to reinvent the dynamic duo for the modern mobile age. Having just hit soft launch earlier this month, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble has now expanded access to the United Kingdom.

Ranger Rumble pitches itself as a third-person arena shooter, with the story featuring Captain Qwark looking to train a new generation of rangers with an advanced combat simulation. In short, it means you get to play as iconic characters from throughout the series, and wield a vast arsenal of weaponry that'll be instantly familiar to fans.

Ratchet it up

I'm sure many UK PlayStation fans will be eager to get their hands on this new release. And, in truth, I'm a little curious myself. However, I can't ignore the fact that PlayStation Mobile are taking a bit of a chance here.

The last major console release for Ratchet & Clank was way back in 2021 with Rift Apart, and before that was the Ratchet & Clank reboot in 2016. While the series has never really dropped off entirely in terms of popularity, it's still a bit risky to bet on it carrying a multiplayer mobile game.

But you'll be able to judge for yourself because early access is already rolled out in a number of regions, including France and Canada. So check if you can get in, and if not, you can pre-register on your storefront of choice or on the official Ranger Rumble website!

In the meantime, there are many other interesting and standout games out there on mobile. And many of them might be from other places around the world!

Aniimo's creature-collecting cuteness now has a release date

The upcoming cute creature collector Aniimo is a new release that's really caught our eye here at the site. Combining life sim elements with classic creature-collecting action, with your character able to transform into the adorable Aniimos that they gather, it seems as if it's a guaranteed hit. And now, we appear to have a confirmed release window for Aniimo! The release window comes from both the official iOS App Store listing and Aniimo's PlayStation Store entry. The former pins the iOS release to September 30th, while the latter suggests September 16th. All of which at least suggests we can expect Aniimo to land on all platforms by mid-to-late September. ...

PlayStation Shares New Details For Mobile Hero Shooter, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble

!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/07/15/ecad9fb6/ratchet-and-clank-ranger-rumble-gameplay.jpg.webp) Last November, PlayStation unveiled Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, a new mobile hero shooter take on Insomniac Games’ flagship franchise. After soft-launching in various non-US regions over the last few months, a new blog post(https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/15/ratchet-clank-ranger-rumble-gameplay-details-on-the-upcoming-mobile-hero-shooter/) reveals more details about the game ahead of its yet-to-be-revealed global launch. Developed by Oh Bibi in collaboration with Insomniac, Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is a free-to-play multiplayer hero shooter coming to iOS and Android. The game takes place inside a combat simulation created by Captain Qwark to train new Galactic Ranger recruits. Players control a roster of 12 heroes (with more to come post-launch) that, while featuring Ratchet and Clank and other recognizable faces, largely consist of new characters. This includes robots, aliens, and even Lombaxes from other dimensions like Widget, a spunky investigative journalist, and Mopz, a mopey street gang member. Ranger Rumble's bread and butter are its PvP arena battles (featuring "dynamic PvE elements") where players team up to blast competitors apart using the series' signature wacky weaponry.  The blog post reveals the game will have six game modes at launch that promote PvP and PvE play. Modes include a take on battle royale and a soccer-inspired contest. “Staying true to the series has been at the heart of the project from day one,” writes Oh Bibi chief executive officer Stanislas Dewavrin in the blog post. “The signature humor, beloved characters, and gloriously inventive weaponry that have defined Ratchet & Clank for over two decades are all here, reimagined for fast-paced battles built specifically for mobile, with new characters and weapons to discover. There’s no release window for Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble’s global launch, but players can pre-register to play on its website(https://www.rangerrumble.com/) now to receive exclusive rewards.
