Combining Ratchet & Clank’s adventure roots with an epic storyline and
immersive gameplay, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction draws
players into a vast, new galaxy more vibrant, diverse and interactive than ever
before. With bustling cities, gigantic enemies and giant boss battles, Ratchet
& Clank Future: Tools of Destruction delivers a sophisticated, yet humorous
adventure for fans of all ages.
After saving countless planets from dreadful doom and earning intergalactic
mega-celebrity status in the process, Ratchet and Clank have taken some
well-deserved R&R – again. Yet, Ratchet remains restless. An orphan of
the universe, he has never known anything of his past, his family, or his Lombax
origins. And no one, not even Clank, can fill that void.
Unfortunately for Ratchet, someone else is equally interested in
Ratchet’s origins: Emperor Percival Tachyon. In his thirst for revenge, the
vile tyrant of an ancient race of foul insect-like monsters called Cragmites has
festered an age-old grudge and is bent on wiping the last-known Lombax off the
universe. As Tachyon’s forces ambush Ratchet and Clank in their home galaxy,
our heroes realize they need to escape quickly to prevent its destruction. In a
move of desperate irony, Ratchet and Clank steal Tachyon’s imperial warship
and embark upon an adventure bigger than any they’ve experienced- one that
will not only unravel the mystery of the Lombaxes, but also test the very limits
of their friendship.
