Ratchet and Clank: Ranger Rumble Opens Global Pre-Registration After Soft Launch
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Sony and Oh BiBi have opened global pre-registration for Ratchet and Clank: Ranger Rumble, an upcoming iOS and Android hero shooter featuring twelve heroes and six game modes.
Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Oh BiBi are pushing their upcoming mobile spinoff forward. Ratchet and Clank: Ranger Rumble is officially open for global pre-registration following regional tests in countries like Canada, France, and parts of Asia. The third-person multiplayer hero shooter is built exclusively for iOS and Android, bringing familiar faces and new Lombaxes into a mobile arena setting. Since its initial reveal in late 2025, the project has drawn mixed reactions from long-time fans who were hoping for a traditional console adventure instead of a hero shooter. Even so, the development team is pressing ahead, utilizing player feedback gathered during the soft launch phase to tune the experience ahead of the official release date.
At launch, the game will feature twelve distinct heroes and six game modes, spanning standard PvP, PvE challenges, a battle royale format, and a soccer-inspired mode called showdown. Oh BiBi brings a solid background in mobile multiplayer development to the table, having previously built titles like Frag Pro Shooter and BEAST. While some community members remain skeptical about shifting a beloved platforming franchise into the mobile hero shooter space, the success of the upcoming global launch will depend heavily on how well the gameplay loop holds up on touchscreens. Pre-registration is now live across mobile app stores for players wanting to jump in on day one.
