Sony has made it clear that it wants to make mobile games that tie into its console titles, like Knack’s Quest. Now the publisher has released its second mobile tie-in – an endless runner starring Ratchet & Clank.

Ratchet & Clank: Before the Nexus is now available on iOS and Android devices. The game is positioned as a prequel of sorts to the PS3 title Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus. Interestingly enough, it seems that the developers have been able to preserve some of the classic Ratchet & Clank gameplay in the transition to an endless runner. Ratchet can still use many of his outlandish weapons while running and players can earn bolts to buy even more weapons.

Just like in Knack’s Quest, Before the Nexus gives players a chance to earn rewards in the console title. In this case, players can earn raritanium that can then be brought over to the PS3 game.
