According to video game podcaster and former IGN editor Colin Moriarty, Insomniac Games and Sony Interactive Entertainment have plans in place for the new game. "We're going to get a Ratchet and Clank in-between [Spider-Man 2018 and its sequel] on PlayStation 5," Moriarty said on his podcast, Sacred Symbols+. "I feel like that's going to be a launch game, the Ratchet and Clank game that's long been in development at Insomniac."
