Update: We received word from Sony that Ratchet & Clank: Life of Pie does not serve as an official canon prequel to the PS5?s Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and is not related to the upcoming game. The TV short is a standalone license special created by Mainframe Studios, but has no canon bearing on the PS5 game?s narrative.
Original: Aside from a beloved series of games, Ratchet & Clank has spawned manga, comics, books, toys, and even a feature movie. One thing it hasn?t produced is a television series, which is why the sudden and quiet appearance of a 23 minute TV short, Ratchet & Clank: Life of Pie, has confused many people. Available on Canada?s TV and movie service Crave, it turns out the short is a prequel to upcoming PS5 game Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart as a PlayStation Original. Ratchet & Clank: Life of Pie requires a Crave subscription to watch, and is as yet unavailable to view elsewhere. It?s unclear if the short will receive a wider release beyond those who have a subscription to Crave.
