Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. announced April 12, 2005, the first details behind the
Fall 2005 release of Ratchet: Deadlocked created exclusively for the PlayStation®2
computer entertainment system. Insomniac Games continues to innovate the Ratchet & Clank
series and has enhanced the latest installment by incorporating co-op gameplay in both
single-player and multiplayer story modes, as well as squad-based functionality.
In Ratchet: Deadlocked, Ratchet and Clank are captured and forced to compete on an
underground reality combat sport show. The show, which features abducted heroes fighting for
their lives against a gruesome gang of deadly Exterminators, is run by a deranged media mogul
named Gleeman Vox, who intends to use Ratchet and Clank as his next contestants.
To keep himself and his friends alive, Ratchet has no choice but to participate in the games and
keep driving up the show's ratings with spectacular victories -- at least until our heroes can
figure out a way to break free from Vox's control, the explosive Deadlock collar fastened to his
neck, and bring the mighty Vox Network crashing down.
