Revenge of the Savage Planet News

Steam’s Couch Co-Op Fest is here & you know what that means - it’s time to sit uncomfortably close to your nearest & dearest, grab a controller, & yell at each other over who forgot to scan the weird mushroom thing.

Our Corporate Overlords have told us to say we are thrilled to be part of this because if there’s one thing we love, it’s co-op mayhem! Whether you’re sprinting through alien landscapes or bickering after being booted into a swamp, our game is built for chaotic cooperation.

Oh, the best part? We’ve got MULTIPLE WAYS you can play alongside your best friend, cousin, Pufferbird, or anyone else with cognitive functions.

[h2]Calling all couch owners 🛋️[/h2]

If you own a multiplayer-capable sitting device, i.e. a couch - listen up. If you don’t own a couch, you’re gonna want to buy a couch & then listen up.

Remember the golden age of split-screen gaming? The thrill of playing side-by-side? The emotional scars of a so-called "friend" stealing your loot? We’re bringing it back, baby! But this time, with 100% more corporate satire & approximately 2064%* more goo.

*Goo levels subject to change 🧪

Whether you’re playing for teamwork or just to see who falls into the most bottomless pits, we’re proud to say Revenge of the Savage Planet is couch co-op at its finest.



[h2]Co-op chaos goes global 🌍[/h2]

Can’t agree on which side of the couch is the best? No worries, take the chaos online instead.

Nothing bonds coworkers like surviving an alien planet together while plotting vengeance against your former employers & we’re leaving nobody behind as crossplay is available on several platforms from DAY ONE.

Feel free to leave your friends behind if you want, though. We’re not here to judge.

[h2]Launching in style 🚀[/h2]

We know corporate doesn’t usually hand out freebies (unless you count “mandatory overtime”), but this time? You’re in luck!

Spend some of your hard-earned cash on us within the first month of launch on Steam to receive:

🎁 A FREE copy of Journey to the Savage Planet – That’s right, two titles for the price of one! Remember to bring a friend, a rival, or your weird uncle who won’t stop talking about aliens.
🦝 The Trash Panda Suit – Because nothing says “space explorer” like dressing as a slightly badass raccoon. Stylish? Absolutely. Sanitary? Debatable.



BUT WAIT. THERE’S MORE…?!

If you purchase within the FIRST WEEK, we’ll even give you a 10% discount. Martin Tweed’s the one who pushed that through, so thank him.

There are milestones & events you remember forever. Your wedding, the first steps of your first-born child, that one time you said “you too!” to that waitress who said “enjoy your meal” when she put down your plate (word on the street is she’s still laughing at you for that one - talk about trauma!)

As game developers, pressing that “SHIP IT!” button on the game you’ve so passionately poured your prowess into after years of hard work is one of those moments. To see others love & appreciate your game gives you enthusiasm & energy to - you guessed it - get that sequel goin’. Word from the R&D department is that it’s “generally commercial good practice” to give people what they want.

5 years ago our team (then Typhoon Studios, now Raccoon Logic 🦝) pressed that big exciting button & launched Journey to the Savage Planet into the world. Since then millions of you have played the first instalment of the Savage Planet series & had a blast. You’ve played solo, together, as we intended, & not as we intended (any% speedrunners; you are the wind in our QA team’s sails. We love ya!)

If you’re a returning Journey to the Savage Planet player; thank you & we’re incredibly excited for you to see what we’ve been working on for number 2. We’re PUMPED to put Grob, once again, in your hands. Martin Tweed says hi btw.



If you’re the type of gamer who prefers to watch gamers game rather than be the gamer gaming, we dig it. Check out some recent Journey coverage by the likes of Nogla & Video Kames.

[h2]I smell a giveaway[/h2]

To celebrate a half-decade of Savage Planet - we’re doin’ a little giveaway. If you’ve never played Journey & have some spare time between now & May ‘25, get in here & invest 15 seconds & a few clicks for your chance to add a damn good game to your Steam library 🚀

You’ll also win a copy of Journey for a friend. A friend is NOT included in the giveaway prizes, but a key for them is. If you’re looking for a friend, I’m told there are apps for that now.

[h2]"But we want more Revenge news!”[/h2]

Between now & Revenge of the Savage Planet’s launch in May, we’ve got A LOT to tell you about. February is gonna be a hoot - we’re gonna be revealing a lot, but it’s not February so I’ll end the sentence here.



If you haven’t read up on our last Steam update, we dive into some freshly declassified news - SLAPPI’s gone a bit haywire, a new planet has been identified, it’s got all the goodies.

Speaking of goodies - if you’ve made it this far into the update, treat yo self to a cheeky following of us on socials 👇

Happy New Year, space explorers! It’s officially THE YEAR OF THE SAVAGE PLANET & we’ve got a fresh batch of juicy updates, hot off the press!

If that wasn’t enough to make your space boots tingle, we also dropped a brand-new trailer featuring something evil, artificial & dangerously interactive… Let’s just say if you unwrapped one of these for the holidays, you’d want to check the return policy. 🤖

[h2]Bloggin’ Hell![/h2]

Sound the corporate klaxon! Some PlayStation overlords from Earth have crash-landed with an update hotter than Nu Florida’s irradiated beaches. It’s basically intergalactic law for you to read it. We won’t spoil all the fun, but here’s a quick rundown of what you probably, potentially, maybe, might find if you do:

✅ Gear & Customization (New drip for your space suit.)
✅ More Planets (Not one. Not two. Not three. Keep guessing.)
✅ An Evil AI Robot (Sentient, sassy, slightly unhinged.)
✅ Retro Pinball Machines (Wait… what?)
✅ Behind-the-Scenes Developer Thoughts (Brain juice from the devs.)
✅ FREE STUFF & DISCOUNTS!!! (We had you at free, didn’t we?)

Well, what are you waiting for? Get your eyeballs HERE to read all about it 🗞️

[h2]SLAPPI Recall[/h2]

Uhhhh, this might be the worst present ever.

Your Synthetic Learning Android Personalized Programmable Interactivity (a.k.a SLAPPI) seems to be malfunctioning, which explains the recalls Hott Whiz announced yesterday.

🔴 Hott Whiz just announced a recall.
🔴 There have been multiple reports of “unexpected” & “alarming” behavior.
🔴 Some SLAPPI units may or may not have developed a tendency to eliminate their owners.

We’re still trying to separate fact from fiction, but for your safety (& ours): DO NOT APPROACH.

Oh, & if you haven’t seen the new SLAPPI’s Den of Fun trailer… well… buckle up. 🎥

[h2]Planets Galore[/h2]

We teased you long enough & thought it was only right to finally reveal the official deets. If you remember Journey to the Savage Planet, you’ll remember one planet. This time? FIVE. Not two, not three, F I V E.

Apparently, revenge is a dish best served on multiple planets. That’s the saying, right?

Each world is packed with new flora, fauna, weird POIs, & definitely things that will try to eat you. Did we mention that SLAPPI’s Den of Fun is a very different kind of adventure? His version of “fun” may not be yours, but we cannot wait to watch your reactions as we reveal more details in the coming weeks 🌍

It’s been an exciting day, so we’ll just jump right into the delicious details we just revealed at PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 👇

[h3]ICYMI - Watch our newest trailer here![/h3]

Oh, so we’re so unimportant that you missed our newest trailer going live? What was more important? School? Work? Family & friend commitments? Well, that’s fair enough - good job we got your back - check out our newest trailer here 👇

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h3]We’re launching in May 2025![/h3]

Revenge of the Savage Planet will launch in May 2025 across all platforms 🧡 we’re SUPER excited to commit to a launch month so you all know when the fun starts.

Couch co-op/splitscreen, online co-op (yes, that includes crossplay, you lucky lil rascals), & much much more will be available from day one. Exciting!

[h3]MARTIN. TWEED. IS. BACK![/h3]

The massive, huge, just overwhelmingly large Martin Tweed has formally returned to the Savage Planet universe. He’s a man of many words, so I’ll paraphrase him slightly & leave you with these key points.

• He is angry.
  
• He called out Gunther Harrison & ALTA Interglobal live on stream.
  
• He is in a fish tank (?)
  
• He is ANGRY.
  

Gunther Harrison has replied in equal vitriol, but not in a fish tank. I don’t know why these two multi-trillionaires can’t just fight it out in the ring like billionaires of today.

Anyway, the Tweedverse is BACK, BABY & we’re excited to see where this leads.

[h3]Well, what’s next?[/h3]

Great question. A lot. We’re very excited to share more news on what’s happening between now & May 2025, so you’ll need to follow us to hear all about it first. Smash that like button on our socials 👇

[h3]Hello again![/h3]

Well, well, well… Look who’s back for more sweet details about our upcoming pixel clicker. Who can blame you - the labcoats in marketing tell me our last update was received “okay, we think” - was it the mention of ambiguous green goo that hooked you? Or was it the promise of the ability to capture aliens & keep them as pets? Your answer probably says a lot about you, but we hope you know we love you all the same.

[h3]New trailer @ PC Gaming Show Most Wanted - TOMORROW![/h3]

Anyway, the important news… We have a SHINY, BRAND NEW TRAILER coming *checks notes* TOMORROW live at PC Gaming Show Most Wanted! Live action. Gameplay. Aliens. Platforming. It’s got it all. We can’t wait for you to check it out.

… And what was that, you want to finally meet Gunther Harrison, CEO @ ALTA Interglobal? Well, come on in!

We’re also VERY excited to share an update on our launch. We’ve locked down a month, & we’re gonna be revealing that tomorrow live at PC Gaming Show Most Wanted. Committing to a launch month is an awesome moment for our whole team who have been working incredibly hard behind the scenes - so you’ll forgive us if we get emotional.

[h3]How?! When?! Where?![/h3]

I got ya - PC Gaming Show Most Wanted will be live from 12pm PST/3pm EST/8pm GMT/9pm CEST tomorrow (December 5th) - we’re sure we’ll be in good company, so you had better set a reminder & tune in tomorrow. Take notes. There will be a mandatory exam at the end.

We won’t add to your remorse about missing such an important event. All we'll say is that we’ll be posting the trailer on our socials (linked below - don’t we take such good care of you?) after the show so no one misses out.
