Hello, brave explorers! It’s been a few years since we last spoke, and a lot has happened! Our old company Typhoon Studios was gobbled up, digested, and then spat out by a much larger company, on the very day we released the last update for our last game: Journey to the wild planet: “Employee of the Month” edition.
Luckily, when we all suddenly found ourselves without a job and without a clear plan in the middle of a global pandemic, we realized we had more game development in us and re-founded Raccoon Logic. We called it that because all the cool names were already trademarked and we could get the site cheap. Plus, a lot of people here love Trash Pandas.
Here we are, a few years later, and we are more than excited to announce our new game. Revenge of the Wild Planet! You just got your first in-depth look at gameplay during the Xbox @ Gamescom livestream, but I wanted to explain our sequel a little more.
In it, your employer from the first game, Kindred Aerospace, has been bought by a large multinational mega-corporation, Alta Interglobal. After the purchase everythingAlta wanted to try her hand at space exploration by building settlements in the stars! A few years into this experiment – while still in the middle of your long cryosleep journey to a bright, strange new planet – Alta decided that this silly foray into space travel was getting a little more expensive and difficult than originally planned.
Unfortunately for you, that means the entire space settlement has been shut down and you’ve been laid off. And here you are in this new adventure, arriving alone (or with a carefully selected co-op friend) on an exciting new planet, with no job and no clear plans for the future.
With that in mind, you’ll have to gather all your gear (which is somehow scattered across multiple planets in this star system), capture creatures, defend yourself, conduct bizarre scientific experiments, and document every bit of flora and fauna you find – all in the interests of surviving, returning home, and maybe even getting revenge on that megacorporation. Essentially, it’s all about exploring and collecting everything in a vibrant, hilarious world, like some kind of highly acrobatic sci-fi hoarder Collector.
If you liked the first one, you’ll love this one. It’s bigger and better in every way. More planets! More gear! More colors! More critters! More laughs (hopefully). Plus, it’s now in third person, which our animation team says instantly makes it 20% better, makes the platforming easier since you can see his feet, and allows us to give you a ton of wacky outfits to wear. And if you haven’t played the first one, don’t worry, you don’t need to know anything to have fun Revenge of the Wild Planet. It’s a hundred years later and yet it’s a brand new story.
The world is often a grim, dark place, so why not call a friend and take a trip to the Savage Planet? And that will be possible very soon – we’ll be releasing the game in early 2025. How lucky!
