Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble is done. Sony has officially cancelled the multiplayer shooter, which will be delisted this month and fully shut down in May, per Polygon.
The timeline is brutal even by mobile-gaming standards. The game was revealed only 12 months ago, and as Kotaku notes, it never officially launched globally — meaning most players will never have touched the game before it disappears.
It's another data point in PlayStation's rocky relationship with mobile and live-service spinoffs. Ranger Rumble was an attempt to take one of PlayStation's friendliest first-party franchises into the mobile multiplayer space, and it didn't survive long enough to get a worldwide release. Players in regions where the game was available in limited form have until next May before servers go dark entirely, but the delisting this month effectively marks the end.
For Ratchet & Clank fans, the franchise's future now rests back where it's always lived: on PlayStation consoles.
