In an attempt of desperation, we’d do anything for details about  Insomniac Games’ upcoming Ratchet & Clank title, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time. So when viewing the description of the on Sony’s website, we found some very hidden, read between the lines, details on the game - thanks to the Examiner.

According to the description, Ratchet’s sidekick Clank will be playable, once again, after mysteriously disappearing at the end of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. Clank returns upgraded with time-manipulation powers, much like what you’d see in Heroes, the hit television show.

However, on Ratchet’s sides of the equation, players can expect non-linear levels along with new weapons like Hoverboots and more weapon customization – you know, the works. Along with that, the space segment has been revamped. Players can now explore the star system and find hidden items in addition to participating in space battles.

That does sound entertaining. Expect the game to release sometime within this year – we where told this fall, but one never knows.
