Press release:
Montreal, 5th May, 2025.
The Montréal-based (Québec, Canada) indie games developer Raccoon Logic have today announced with great joy and thrill, that their satirical sci-fi adventure “Revenge of the Savage Planet“, is coming to PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5 and Xbox Series X) on May 8th (2025).

Playable in both singleplayer and co-op (couch and online), Revenge of the Savage Planet sees you abandoned on an alien planet with no job and no plan, after Alta Interglobal, your now former employer, deems your mission to colonise space too costly, leaving you to scavenge your way across four unique (and savage) planets in an attempt to return home.

Pioneers heading into deep space today with the Cosmic Hoarder edition will receive the Cinco de Mayo Trash Panda skin (First Month Only), Shama Lama’s D.I.A.P.E.R (Ding Dong Influencer Accelerator Program Extreme Routine) 4 New Missions, HR Enforcer Deluxe Suit, Gold Lamé Space Suit, and the Official digital Soundtrack and Artbook.

As you jump, slide, and shoot your way across alien worlds, trying to put all thoughts of unfair dismissal aside, you’ll need to salvage what you can from the vibrant landscapes, craft equipment, capture abhorrent adorable critters, upgrade your gear, and scan every single thing as far as the eye can see on your intergalactic adventure.

Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director, Raccoon Logic said: “It almost doesn’t feel real – we’re so honoured to share that Revenge of the Savage Planet has now launched on PC and console!

What was once a glimmer of an idea from a team who’d been kicked to the curb, is now a real, tangible thing that we can’t wait for you to explore. We hope you have half as much fun playing this game as we had making it, if it weren’t for you, the players, we wouldn’t be able to keep creating these weird (and hopefully wonderful) stories, so from the bottom of our raccoon hearts, thank you. Now go play, there are savage planets to explore!”

Trading the Deep Sea for Deep Space, DAVE THE DIVER can romp his way through Revenge of the Savage Planet, allowing you to explore the far reaches of space dressed as your favourite scuba diver.

Transported from the Blue Hole to a blue sphere in the far reaches of space DAVE has been visualised in all his 3D glory as a homage to the beloved and charming game, and will be available with both the standard and Cosmic Hoarder editions of Revenge of the Savage Planet.

Reid Schneider, Studio Head, Raccoon Logic said: “We knew we wanted to do a big surprise collaboration for launch but we needed to find the right IP that would work for the game.

After an introduction from Amir Satvat, who incidentally had the idea to put Dave in the game, I got to know Jaeho Hwang (Mintrocket CEO) pretty well. We had a bunch of calls, and talked about doing a crossover with Dave the Diver. The collaboration emerged from there and we’re super grateful to Jaeho (and his team) for entrusting us with Dave.”

Revenge of the Savage Planet Key Features:

Third-Person Online Co-Op & Crossplay – Play with your best friend, partner or hellspawn on/or between any platform and now in third-person! You’ll be tasked with fully exploring and understanding these beautiful alien landscapes and uncovering its secrets.

Couch Co-Op with Split Screen – Experience the nostalgia tinged joy of sitting on the same couch and playing on the same screen with someone you love, like the olden days but with 100% more corporate satire

Survive a FOUR Savage PlanetS – Populate your Kindex by exploring four large, vibrant worlds each with their own weird and wonderful plants and creatures. Scan everything, catalog everything, hopefully increase your clearance level… and you might even unlock new (yet still 4th best) gear! Plus… there may be more than four planets. Maybe.

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?
