New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced for PlayStation 3 | Designer Vinyl Toys & Art Culture | Clutter Magazine | Tags: PlayStation 3, Ratchet & Clank, video games

In addition to the previously revealed The Ratchet & Clank Collection, which collects the first three beloved PlayStation 2 series entries on a single PlayStation 3 retail disc, Sony and Insomniac Games announced today that a brand new traditional Ratchet & Clank game will be released as a PlayStation Network download.

Titled Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault, the "fun-sized" game will utilize the series-standard third-person camera, and will feature familiar weapons and gameplay, along with new online functionality. Full Frontal Assault follows last year's Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, which embraced a gameplay-altering co-op approach with mixed results, so this new entry seems to be a conciliatory effort for fans who longed for a traditional series experience.

Only the above concept art and logo have been released, but it's likely that we'll hear more about the game at next week's E3 expo in Los Angeles.
