* LateArrivalSpoiler: The Dimensionator breaking and Clank taking it are some of the final moments of the game, serving as a SequelHook. Then as the years went by and the reimagining came and went fans began discussing these moments openly as the uncertainty of a true sequel started setting in. Fortunately a sequel would eventually come in the form of ''Rift Apart'' in 2021, where the last remnants of this game's ending being a spoiler were blown away with the plot of ''Rift Apart'' being entirely centered around Clank fixing the Dimensionator.

The game was said to be the "epilogue" to the Future saga, and with the sequel hook at the end + the plot of Rift Apart it's safe to say this was not the Grand Finale


In this installment, Ratchet and Clank must pursue Vendra and Neftin Prog, a brother-sister duo who attempt to bring their race into the universe, with disastrous effects. The game is shorter than most installments, and serves as the GrandFinale of the ''Future'' series. Following the release of [[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2016 the 2016 re-imagining of the first game]], the next game in the main Ratchet & Clank continuity following this one is 2021’s ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart'' - released eight years after ''Into The Nexus''.
