<p class="">It’s been a minute, but the Savage Planet franchise continues! We’re back for number two… same folks, same franchise, same studio, but with a new name: Raccoon Logic. </p>
<p class="">Formerly Typhoon Studios, we originally developed <a href="https://store.playstation.com/concept/233179">Journey to the Savage Planet</a> (originally released in 2020 and currently available as part of the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog). Now our new sci-fi co-op adventure <a href="https://store.playstation.com/concept/10009791">Revenge of the Savage Planet</a>, a comical survival story of explorers entertaining themselves to death, is set to blast off on PS5 and PS4 in May 2025. </p>
<p class="">You’ll build and customize your own habitat, explore the alien landscape, scan everything, catalog everything and hopefully figure out how to survive. With more planets, our sequel is a bigger and brighter universe. With co-op from the start and a new third person perspective, you’ll run, jump, shoot and collect your way through four vibrant planets, crafting and upgrading your abilities while uncovering hidden secrets within. </p>
<p class="">Today we’re revealing a fifth, secret planet filled with some… not so natural creatures, while members of our team share insight into the design philosophies behind its creation. </p>
<p class="">First, check out the video below! </p>

<p class="">In this new world, exploration is still a must! There are creatures to capture, lakes to swim, mountains to climb, rails to grind, and a secret den of fun to uncover. Our fifth world features an interior lair, a stark contrast to our organic and natural open worlds, with the goal of making our world anything but predictable! Here’s some of our team to explain more: </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Local and online co-op</strong></h2>
<p class="">In Revenge of the Savage Planet, there are many ways to play, including online co-op with cross-play and couch co-op (local split screen).  And if you aren’t feeling up to sitting on the same couch with another real human being, we also have single-player mode!</p>
