Worldwide pre-registration begins after regional testing
Developer Oh Bibi has opened worldwide pre-registration for Ratchet and Clank: Ranger Rumble on iOS and Android. The rollout follows months of regional testing across Canada, the Nordics, France, and parts of Asia, indicating the game is entering its final stretch before a global release.
To mark the pre-registration start, Oh Bibi has launched a community rewards program. Bonuses are unlocked based on the total number of pre-registrations, culminating in an exclusive cosmetic: a Clank Suit for Widget, the new Lombax hero, if the final community target is met.
12 heroes and six modes at launch
When Ranger Rumble launches, players will have access to 12 playable heroes. The roster includes new Lombaxes, robots, and aliens created specifically for the game in collaboration with Insomniac Games.
The game will also offer six modes, spanning familiar and experimental formats. Alongside traditional team-based PvP and co-op PvE, the lineup includes a battle royale-inspired mode and a football-themed mode designed to deliver the series’ trademark chaos.
Keeping the franchise identity—plus new characters
Even though this is a mobile title, Oh Bibi says preserving the Ratchet and Clank identity is a core priority. That includes returning the franchise’s signature humor, inventive weaponry, and over-the-top action, as well as musical inspiration drawn from the series’ earliest games.
The developer also emphasized that new characters were designed to fit naturally within the wider universe. Oh Bibi further stated that members of Insomniac Games helped shape the new Lombaxes and their backstories.
What pre-registration unlocks
Players who pre-register will automatically be eligible for every community milestone reached before the game’s launch. Those milestones grant progression resources including Qredits, Reebos, and Raritanium, aimed at giving players a head start when Ratchet and Clank: Ranger Rumble goes live.
