Does Quest for Booty confirm the existence of a new Ratchet & Clank game?

Next week, Insomniac is releasing Quest for Booty on PSN, a downloadable sequel of sorts to last year’s incredible PlayStation 3 game Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. From what I hear, this expansion is short, but every bit as creative and polished as previous retail games. I, for one, cannot wait to play it!

Fans of the series will love to hear that at the very end of Quest for Booty, the following message appears: THE QUEST CONTINUES IN FALL 2009 …

You don’t have to be a lombax (or a sassy robot) to figure out that this must hint at the release of a brand new game in the Ratchet & Clank universe due out next year. But what kind of game will it be? It is obviously a direct sequel, but will it be a full game or an episodic entry? What do you think? No matter what it is, I am excited already!
