If you're unfamiliar with Mark Mothersbaugh, he was originally one of the founding members and frontman for DEVO, a sample of which you can check out just below. After success with the band, Mothersbaugh then went on to score games like the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy, the Jack & Daxter trilogy, and even Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok.
Rift Apart's soundtrack promises to be pretty electrifying. There's a lot to look forward to in the PlayStation State of Play presentation later this week: There'll be a brand new look at Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart with 15 minutes of new gameplay, as well as the reveal of two brand new indie games.
With the announcement of the State of Play news today, we now finally know that the name of the mysterious new female Lombax is Rivet, a subject that had many fans theorizing on over the past few months. In fact, back in February 2021 a group of fans made an educated guess at the newcomer's name, which has now been revealed to be pretty spot-on.
Fans had also been theorizing that Rivet is Ratchet from an alternate universe. Considering one of the foundational mechanics at play in Rift Apart is jumping between worlds and dimensions in the blink of an eye, this could well turn out to be true. We'll have to wait until later this week to find out more, though.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is now just over a month away from launching on June 11, 2021, as a PS5 exclusive. Head over to our extensive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart preview for more on why it's shaping up to be the first must-have PS5 exclusive of 2021.
