Following the 2007 retail release of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools for Destruction, Insomniac Games opted for an episodic digital launch for the spin-off story, Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty. The game sees the eponymous heroes hunting for a pirate who might help Ratchet recover Clank from the mysterious energy beings, the Zoni. The four-hour adventure was well-received, but for the 2009 follow-up game, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, Insomniac reverted to a standard retail release.
