Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Unused LevelsLots of unused levels ahead. Proceed carefully, you may discover another one of Nature's Mysteries!

Unused Models#

Malori#

An unfinished model for a character named "Malori". In the initial script for the game, the Clank counterpart of Rivet's universe would've been Malori, Emperor Nefarious' assistant. During the story, she would've grown wary of the emperor and would've helped Rivet stop his plans. However, upon the emperor's defeat, she would've betrayed her allies to take over his empire, believing she could accomplish his plans but for reasons she considered "the greater good" compared to his. She would end up being corrupted by his leftover code when attempting to take over, and becoming the final villain the heroes have to fight. After the story shifted direction, her character was scrapped and her role was split into two new characters: Kit who became the counterpart of Clank and F-44 who filled the role of the assistant. The model is the only trace of her left in the game assets.

Clank Backpack#

An unused model for a Clank backpack that also lines up with the earlier script, where at one point Clank's body would've been destroyed and only his head would remain.

Ratchette#

An unfinished model which appears to be an early model for Rivet. It seems to be a placeholder since she has Ratchet's face.
