Torrentgame – Revenge Of The Savage Planet is shaping up to be an ambitious follow-up to 2020’s Journey To The Savage Planet, blending quirky humor, cooperative exploration, and a fresh perspective. Set to launch in May 2025 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, the sequel takes a bold leap from first-person to third-person gameplay, adding layers of personality and interactivity.
Third-Person Perspective: A New Frontier
This shift opens up creative opportunities for physical comedy, character animation, and platforming precision. According to Alex Hutchinson, creative director at Raccoon Logic, the third-person perspective enhances player-avatar connection, offering quirky movement styles and a clear view of platforming sequences. As Hutchinson humorously puts it, You can see your feet!
The new view also brings costume customization, with legally distinct outfits humorously reminiscent of iconic franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars, adding a touch of playful personalization.
Enhanced Co-op for Two
The game retains its two-player co-op mode, emphasizing intimate collaboration and spontaneous fun. Hutchinson argues that this sweet spot fosters organic banter and creative exploration, reminiscent of classic couch co-op experiences. Players can enjoy split-screen play or connect with friends online, ensuring diverse co-op options.
Poop Jokes Meet Corporate Satire
Fans of the original game’s offbeat humor won’t be disappointed. Expect a mix of slapstick comedy, absurd in-game advertisements, and biting corporate satire. Whether it’s setting woodland creatures ablaze with alien goo or witnessing over-the-top commercials like Shama Lama’s Ding Dong Academy, the game promises nonstop chaos and hilarity.
A Bigger, Wilder Universe
Expanding from one alien world to four unique planets, Revenge Of The Savage Planet builds on the original’s exploration elements. Hutchinson describes it as a game for all ages where players can laugh, explore, and wreak havoc in equal measure.
With promises of systemic chaos, including accidental slapstick like slipping on green goo or battling crab-like aliens with unsettlingly human eyes, the game ensures surprises around every corner.
