He’s selfless, and in Rift Apart, he goes out of his way to befriend Kit.
But after so many years of living and adventuring with Clank, he’s softened into a loving, hopeful character. When we first met Ratchet in 2002, he was an ass. Rivet, also seemingly an orphan, found a family with the midwestern-like Morts on the planet Sargasso. Ratchet grew up as an orphan on the planet Veldin. Ratchet and Rivet are both Lombaxes and both heroes - both are wildly successful combatants with a powerful arsenal - but their lives are very different. Rivet and Clank bond together early on in Rift Apart Image: Insomniac Games/Sony Interactive Entertainment Because of their very different life experiences, Rivet and Kit have more baggage than Ratchet and Clank. But Rivet and Kit’s initial friendship is rocky, to say the least. When Ratchet and Kit and Rivet and Clank finally meet up, the two Lombax heroes swap robot buddies, and the new duos are complete. She eventually accepts Ratchet’s invitation to become temporary partners and adopts the name Kit. This new bot reluctantly helps Ratchet, although she’s worried about getting too close to a new friend. Ratchet also bumps into another small, intelligent, and charming robot. But unlike Ratchet, Rivet mostly works alone.
Relatively quickly, Rift Apart makes it clear that Rivet is Ratchet’s dimensional counterpart - as in, she’s her dimension’s version of Ratchet. Meanwhile, Ratchet tries to chase this mysterious Lombax down and find Clank. Rivet, a Lombax from this other dimension, finds Clank and takes him with her to her secret base, hoping to extract information from him. While jumping between rifts, Ratchet and Clank get separated from one another, with Clank getting busted-up in the fall. Nefarious steals the Dimensionator and uses it to whisk himself and the heroes off to a dimension where Nefarious always wins. But, of course, things go horribly wrong. Clank gives Ratchet the Dimensionator so the Lombax can meet the long-lost members of his species. Rift Apart revolves around Clank’s new restoration project, the Dimensionator - a new, weaponized version of a gadget from Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction. Where we’ve always had Ratchet & Clank, moving forward we’ll also have Rivet & Kit. In Rift Apart, Rivet is a new Lombax who marks not only the first non-Ratchet or Clank playable character in the mainline series, but also the most significant female character in the entire franchise.Īnd just like Ratchet and Clank, she’s mostly a package deal. Players have controlled the two titular characters for the entire main series, only jumping in to control other characters in multiplayer modes and spinoffs. Ratchet and Clank have been the staple leads of the franchise since the beginning. Rivet hangs out alone in Nefarious City Image: Insomniac Games/Sony Interactive Entertainment
