Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus (known as Ratchet & Clank: Nexus in PAL regions) is a 2013 third-person shooter platform game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 in November 2013. The game is the eighth main installment in the Ratchet & Clank series and the fourth and final installment of its Future saga. The series is noted for the inclusion of exotic and unique locations and over-the-top gadgets, elements of the traditional Ratchet & Clank experience that return in this game. Into the Nexus received generally positive reviews from critics, although lower than previous games in the Future series, with reviewers praising its graphics, gameplay, controls, and humor, but criticizing its story and short length. The next release in the series, a remake of the first game, was released for the PlayStation 4 in April 2016, while a proper sequel, titled Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, was released for the PlayStation 5 in June 2021.
