Update

As it turns out, Insomniac CEO Ted Price took to the PlayStation Blog to confirm the package. The bundle will include Ratchet and Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal remastered in 1080p HD (and 720p Stereoscopic 3D support) with full trophy support, 3 platinum trophies and the online multiplayer from Up Your Arsenal.

The collection will release in Europe this spring, but will see store shelves this fall in North America. While it’s a bit later than the European release, Price states that they have “something very special planned for our North American fans to celebrate the 10th anniversary, ” and that they’ll “share details soon.”

Thanks for the heads up readers.

Original Article

Earlier this month we reported the sighting of the Ratchet and Clank HD Collection on Amazon France. The listing, which offered little in the way of details, was quickly removed from the public eye. However, it has since resurfaced on Amazon, with price, release date, and gameplay information.

If the listing is to be believed, the features include remastered versions of the first three Ratchet and Clank games, namely: Ratchet and Clank, Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando, and Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. Each will be remastered in 720p HD and will have full trophy support for each game, according to the page.

Additionally, it states that there will be online multiplayer support for Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal.

While Ratchet & Clank: Deadlocked (often regarded as the dark horse of the series) is not mentioned in this package, it’s being rumored that a second volume of the HD collection will release later, including Deadlocked, Size Matters, and  Secret Agent Clank.

The release date is set on Amazon as September 1, 2012 – attached to a price of $39.99, typical for most HD re-releases. It’s (of course) set for launch on the PlayStation 3 exclusively.

Check out the additional screenshots below, and if you don’t believe me, hit up the Amazon page. See for yourself.

It’s currently up for pre-order on Amazon, so I’m inclined to believe the truth of it. If for some reason it turns out false, I might become the saddest panda in the world. And nobody likes a sad panda.

    Ratched Deadlocked was “the dark horse of the series”? I guess I could understand if thats the popular opinion, still I enjoyed that game far more then the first one, or the third one for that matter. Think it was one of the more interesting (and certainly better looking) games of the series.
    What I do find interesting is the internet support to Clank up your Arsenal, that was so fun in split screen when I played it with my friend, imagine with internet support, oh the possibilities! (“Oh the lag” too I guess, but who focuses on the negative stuff right?)

    Man Deadlocked was my favorite R&C game. I play on my ps2 to this day, but I recently found out the multiplayer online went out the vary day I got a Ethernet cable, and played just1 online match. I would pay a max of $40.00 for the game. A complete max.
