One of PlayStation’s handheld titles is closing down, and it’s doing so prior to achieving a global release.
You might remember Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, a mobile multiplayer title set within the cherished sci-fi realm of Insomniac Games.
It has been gradually advancing through soft launches in select nations, with preparations for a full, worldwide rollout on the horizon. Nevertheless, the developer Oh BiBi has today revealed its intention to halt development and shut everything down.
The official site for the game has been revised with a shutdown announcement.
“We have made the challenging choice to halt the development of Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble,” the notice states. “The last planned update will be deployed on November 6th, 2026, and the application will be deleted from stores on November 21st, 2026.”
Players who already possess the game may continue playing until May 1st, 2027, which marks the date when the game’s servers will permanently shut down. After this date, gameplay will no longer be possible.
In-app transactions have been eliminated, and features that were previously premium are now accessible for free, or may be obtained through regular gameplay.
The game did launch in certain regions, including the UK and Canada, during a soft launch phase ahead of a proposed global launch. In July, individuals were invited to pre-register in anticipation of the official release, which unfortunately will not take place now.
Ranger Rumble functions as a competitive multiplayer arena shooter with whimsical graphics, various gameplay modes, and live service features such as time-sensitive events and seasonal rewards.
On the App Store, the game has garnered a user rating of 4.2 (out of 5) based on 93 reviews, while it boasts a score of 4.4 after over 2,000 ratings on Google Play Store.
It is unfortunate to witness the game fade away before it genuinely had an opportunity to thrive.
