Yer best gurl Rivet back in the top spot
Following an influx of stock at many high street retailers, Insomniac Games’ gorgeous platformerRatchet & Clank: Rift Apartis back in the #1 spot of the UK Charts. The PS5 exclusive usurps recent Switch releaseMario Golf: Super Rush, which drops to number four after two weeks spent in the top spot.
Aside fromRatchet & Clank, (and the inevitable appearance from EA’sFIFA 21at number two), it’s another Nintendo-heavy week, withMonster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Furydebuting at number three, followed up by Switch mainstays,Mario Kart 8 Deluxe,Animal Crossing: New Horizons, andMinecraft. Ubisoft’s open-world adventureAssassin’s Creed Valhallareturns to the Top Ten at number eight, while Oddworld Inhabitants’ quirky adventureOddworld: Soulstormrounds out the premier league at number 10.
This week sees the launch of Switch remasterThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, which is no doubt set to get cash registers ringing. Whether enough physical copies will be shifted to shoveRatchet & Clankoff the top of the UK Charts, or whether an army of despondent English footy fans will seeFIFA 21back on top remains to be seen. Be sure to tune in next week to find out!
