So as one of the blessed few with a PS5, I decided I'd get Rift Apart since I remember really liking Ratchet and Clank back on the PS2 and I've heard it's one of the first great examples of what PS5 game can be

Being someone who likes having context where I can, I've been relpaying/watching LPs of the games that came before.

And I've found myself curious about the Future games, in terms of its canonicity. First I noticed that Rift Apart is considered part of the orignal series, then I noticed some minor contradictions in Future series, like suddenly sayin Ratchet is the "last lombax" despite Angela existing in Going Commando and clearly being a lombax.

​

So here's my question: Is the Future series canon? What I mean to ask is, is the Future series considered part of the same canon as the original series, or is it considered a separate canon?
