The quirky, colorful, and corporate satire-filled universe of Journey to the Savage Planet is making its triumphant return. Raccoon Logic has officially announced that its much-anticipated sequel, Revenge of the Savage Planet, will launch in May 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game continues the wild intergalactic adventures fans loved in the first installment, this time with even more expansive worlds, bizarre creatures, and laugh-out-loud humor.
“We’re thrilled to share that Revenge of the Savage Planet launches in May next year,” said Raccoon Logic CEO Alex Hutchinson. The sequel builds on everything that made the original a hit, bringing players back to a universe brimming with colorful chaos. This time, the stakes are higher as the ever-ambitious Martin Tweed, CEO of Kindred Aerospace, takes on his rival Gunther Harrison, the CEO of Alta Interglobal, in an interstellar battle of wits and corporate satire. Hutchinson teases a storyline full of “delicious, delicious revenge,” all while players explore alien worlds, uncover secrets, and collect resources to survive.
The game expands on its predecessor in several ways. Players will venture across four vibrant planets (and perhaps more), each teeming with unique flora, fauna, and mysteries to uncover. The game’s exploration has been overhauled, shifting to a third-person perspective for the first time, adding a fresh layer of immersion. Whether playing solo or cooperatively, gamers will tackle fast-paced challenges, from alien boss battles to resource collection, with new mechanics like grappling, sliding, and experimenting with flammable gameplay-enhancing goo.
For those nostalgic for the couch co-op days of gaming, Revenge of the Savage Planet offers split-screen play alongside online cross-platform co-op, allowing players to join forces with friends on any system. The game also introduces a habitat customization system where players can personalize their space trailer and its surroundings, adding another level of engagement to their journey. Meanwhile, intergalactic hoarders can use their trusty lasso to collect strange creatures and house them in “scenic Nu Florida.”
The humor and satire that defined the original game remain front and center, with the sequel doubling down on its irreverent take on corporate greed and space exploration. Players will find themselves scanning plants, cataloging creatures, and repurposing salvaged tech while navigating the comedic chaos of interstellar corporate drama.
For eager fans, the game will be available in digital and physical formats, with a Day One Edition offering exclusive perks like the “Hot Wizz” spacesuit and a scratch ‘n’ sniff art card—because what’s an alien adventure without a little absurdity? The franchise, which debuted to critical acclaim for its humor and cooperative gameplay, aims to exceed expectations with this goo-filled sequel.
To build excitement, Raccoon Logic will showcase an in-depth look at Revenge of the Savage Planet on December 17, 2024, at 6:00 a.m. PT / 9:00 a.m. ET. The preview promises new details about planets, creatures, gear, and abilities, alongside a fresh gameplay trailer. Until then, fans can get a taste of the interstellar chaos through newly released screenshots and teasers.
Whether you’re in it for the laughs, the exploration, or the sheer joy of collecting goo, Revenge of the Savage Planet is shaping up to be a can’t-miss adventure when it launches in May 2025.
