Raccoon Logic has unveiled its newest project, the Revenge of the Savage Planet, a sequel to the Sci-Fi adventure title Journey to the Savage Planet.
Raccoon Logic's upcoming title was showcased at the Opening Night Live pre-show and the Xbox Gamescom reveal. For those inspired by the first game in the series, the new sequel has brought in much more, building upon the same roots. This time, players will have access to a larger pool of content, including more new planets and gears and hundreds of secrets to uncover.
One of the most significant changes in Revenge of the Savage Planet is the switch to a third-party perspective, an attempt to stay true to the series' initial inspirations. Interestingly, the devs have also added online co-op and crossplay within the title, allowing gamers to interact with anyone anywhere in the world, choosing them as their comrades for the whole journey. You can also play with a split screen if you are more inclined towards couch co-op.
Adding plenty of new content has brought the spotlight to the sequel. The game now features four new planets, including Stellaris Prime and Zephy, all equipped with unique environments and obstacles to provide gamers with a delightful experience. Here are the key features of Revenge of the Savage Planet, giving us a more vivid idea of what the sequel has in store for gamers:

Survive a FOUR Savage Planets - Populate your Kindex by exploring four large, vibrant worlds each with their own weird and wonderful plants and creatures.

-
Space Action & Adventure - Run, Jump, Shoot, Grind, Stomp, Dodge, Slide, Lasso and Grapple your way through the world! While you’re at it you’ll also be experimenting with three different types of gameplay goo, most of which are highly flammable! Overcome challenging combat encounters with alien boss battles, suggestive fauna, problematic software and maybe even a greedy CEO.
-
Habitat & Character Customization - Alien plants! Exciting gear! Weird rocks! Each planet is packed with nooks and crannies hiding all manner of rewards and secrets. While you’re at it you can even customize yourself, and your tiny habitat-like corner of the universe.
-
Collect Alien Creatures - Intergalactic Hoarders can also use their Lasso to Capture and Collect dozens of strange creatures, then go visit them once they’re relocated “happily placed” in Pens outside your customizable space trailer in scenic Nu Florida. After all, who is the real dangerous enemy, the corporate profiteers who fired you or a slimy exploding alien creature?
