Sony and developer Oh BiBi have cancelled Ratchet and Clank Ranger Rumble before the mobile title could reach a worldwide launch. The arena shooter stripped away franchise story elements in favor of quick competitive matches using the series signature arsenal. Store listings will disappear this month, with game servers staying online temporarily before shutting down permanently next year.
French studio Oh BiBi confirmed development on the mobile project has ceased. Digital storefronts on iOS and Android will remove the game from download listings later this month. Existing players retain access to the servers for several months before Sony turns off the online infrastructure completely next year. The studio thanked early testers for participating in the project but gave no official explanation for the cancellation.
Sony announced the project 1 year ago as an arena multiplayer game rather than a traditional story platformer. The game swapped planet exploration for small combat arenas focused on short firefights. While the design preserved the franchise arsenal of exotic weapons, the title never expanded beyond limited regional testing in select countries earlier this year, halting the road to a global release.
Oh BiBi disabled all in app purchases immediately following the cancellation notice. The previously paid Super Pass is now free for all active accounts, and existing multiplayer modes remain playable until the final server shutdown next year. Player progress, unlocked characters, and digital items will disappear permanently when the network goes dark, with no option to transfer data into other Sony titles.
