Press release:
MONTRÉAL, CANADA – August 26, 2026: Raccoon Logic, the independent studio behind the Savage Planet franchise, has today revealed Breakaway Hockey League, a fast-paced, competitive 4v4 hockey game in development for PC during Future Game Show at Gamescom 2026.

Combining the skill and teamwork of modern multiplayer games with the intensity of hockey and the larger-than-life spectacle. Breakaway Hockey League is designed from the ground up as a competitive team-based experience for PC gamers, with players taking direct control of a single skater throughout five-minute, high-intensity matches built around teamwork, mechanical skill and hockey IQ. Every stride, deke, hit, pass and shot is driven by player input, while dynamic skating, precision shooting, purposeful passing, physical checking and realistic puck physics give players the tools to develop their own style of play.

Every Breakaway Hockey League match is built to produce highlight-reel moments worth sharing; dramatic breakaways, clutch saves, bone-rattling hits, last-second winners, and moments players can’t wait to clip and share. The result is a competitive hockey experience designed to generate dramatic breakaways, clutch saves, massive hits, game-winning goals and plenty of opportunities to chirp the opposition.

“We grew up loving hockey, but when hockey games disappeared from PC, we missed the intensity, teamwork and skill of a great hockey game. We hope Breakaway Hockey League is the game players have been asking for over the last twenty years, and we’re incredibly proud to finally be building it at Raccoon Logic” said Hugo Agostinho, Head of Marketing and Community and game designer at Raccoon Logic.

“Hockey has a unique blend of skill, speed and violence that naturally creates the kind of drama and spectacle that we feel makes a perfect competitive game. We’re aiming to keep the soul of hockey while adding the purity of modern competitive action games.” added Steve Masters, Game Director.

Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director added. “Also, we’re celebrating five years as Raccoon Logic this month (and almost ten years if you count our initial incarnation as Typhoon Studios) so it’s time to celebrate! With that in mind we’re launching a merch store: celebrate your love of Journey to the Savage Planet, your fondness for our studio or your excitement for Breakaway Hockey League with a sweet real world object. It’ll feel like the before times! Fabulous!” (http://shop.raccoonlogic.com/ )

Breakaway Hockey League will be developed openly alongside its community, beginning with frequent Alpha and Beta playtests shaped by direct player feedback and rapid iteration. These pre-release tests will lead towards an eventual Early Access launch, when the wider community will be invited to help shape the game’s continued development, features and future.

Players can sign up now at breakaway.firstlook.gg for the chance to be drafted into future playtests, wishlist and follow Breakaway Hockey League on Steam, and join the Raccoon Logic Discord community. An official gameplay reveal will follow soon.
