Did you previously have fun with your Journey to the Savage Planet? The sequel is on the way but are you ready for the Revenge of the Savage Planet?
The sequel to the original satirical sci-fi adventure that was Journey to the Savage Planet is coming in early 2025. And when it drops, Revenge of the Savage Planet will be found bringing with it more planets, more critters and more humour than ever before.
It’s time for revenge!
From Raccoon Logic (previously that of Typhoon Studios), Revenge of the Savage Planet will crash land into a solar system near you in early-ish 2025 for PC and consoles. It’s been revealed during both Opening Night Live and the Xbox Gamescom showcase, as it brings back everything you loved about the first game in the series, but bigger and better in every way, with more planets, gear, critters, laughs, satire, and this time, in third person.
Revenge of the Savage Planet will see you unceremoniously ousted from your mission to colonise space after the powers that be deemed space exploration far too costly and challenging, they ultimately made you redundant during your 80 years of cryosleep.
Stranded on an alien planet with nothing but your wits and whatever you can scavenge from the vibrant landscape, from there you’ll head out on an adventure to explore strange new lands, collecting and crafting new gear in an effort to make your way home.
Solo, co-op, both
Playable both solo and co-op, you will be able to jump into Revenge of the Savage Planet with a friend or partner, whether they be in the same room with split screen co-op, or even across the online worlds, utilising crossplay.
Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director, Raccoon Logic said: “We’re beyond excited to welcome budding explorers back to the Savage Planet universe. A lot has happened since we launched the original title – both in-game and life, with the whole studio being shuttered during a global pandemic. On the back of this, Raccoon Logic was born, and with it Revenge of the Savage Planet, which may or may not incorporate an element of the journey we all went through. The XBOX showcase today is the tip of the asteroid, and we can’t wait to show everyone the world we’ve created next year”
