During the Playstation Experience, Sony and developer Insomniac Games showed off footage for the Ratchet & Clank remake that will be hitting the PS4 on April 12 2016.

　　Ratchet & Clank was announced in 2014 during Sony´s E3 press conference. The game is based on the original Rachet & Clank that released on the PS2 back in 2002 and features more than an hour of new cinematics in vibrant 1080p, new locations, weapons, bosses and more.

　　On a fine day on the planet Veldin, a furry Lombax named Ratchet is working on his spaceship when a robot crash lands near his home. Ratchet recovers the robot from the wreckage, naming him “Clank.” Clank shows Ratchet a recording of Chairman Drek of the Blarg race. In the recording, Drek explains that his home planet has become so polluted it is now uninhabitable. Drek’s solution is to build a new planet for his race by extracting areas from other planets! What’s worse is that Drek has developed a superweapon called the Deplanetizer which will destroy Veldin to make room for his new planet. Fearing that Drek will destroy everything in his path, Ratchet and Clank team up for their first explosive adventure to save the galaxy.
