UPDATE: More recent data seems to have emerged from the leak, suggesting that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart had shipped over 2.7 million units as of February 2022 (with sell-through numbers standing at over 2.3 million units), and turned a profit.
Original story follows:
Insomniac Games has enjoyed incredible critical and commercial success with its Marvel’s Spider-Man games in recent years, and though 2021’s Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart did enjoy similar critical acclaim, it seems the action-platformer has failed to make an equal impact with its commercial performance.
That’s as per recently leaked internal Insomniac documents that have emerged online (via Reddit) following ransomware attack on the studio. As per the leak, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, which was confirmed to have sold 1.1 million units as of July 2021, has sold over 2.2 million units worldwide, though those sales have been unable to turn a profit.
In fact, Rift Apart incurred a loss of $8 million, as per the leaked details, with a total budget of $81 million and total revenue of $73 million, and -10% return on investments. Thankfully for fans of the franchise, details emerging from the Insomniac ransomware leak have also revealed that a new Ratchet and Clank game is in development, so it doesn’t look like Rift Apart’s underperformance had a disastrous impact on the franchise.
The same leak has also revealed plans for Marvel’s Venom, Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, Marvel’s Wolverine, Marvel’s X-Men, and a new IP.
Meanwhile, details have also leaked on the budget and sales for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and revealed that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 had total budget of $315 million.
