Most of us have likely watched thousands upon thousands of video game trailers at this point, and it can’t be easy to ensure your game stands out among the sea of trailers. Revenge of the Savage Planet seems to be having no such problem though, as it just casually dropped a new trailer that’s absolutely unhinged. Featuring the “Shama Lama”, the trailer sort of showcases the features of the upcoming new co-op game. There’s an emphasis on the sort of part though, because what you’ll mainly see is a weird man in gold shouting and someone dancing in a sort of bizarre berry suit.
There’s a little bit of gameplay hidden amongst the ridiculousness too, showing off that new third person perspective the upcoming title is going to feature. It’s certainly a must watch trailer, if only for the sheer weirdness of it all.
Key features from the press release are:
- 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.
- 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?
- Savage Planet Franchise – Originally released on Xbox One, PS4, Epic Games Store, Steam, Stadia and Switch platforms enabling fun space adventures for millions of players across the globe. The original game earned multiple awards as a humorous, cooperative indie adventure, Typhoon Studios captured attention of press, creators and earned its Very Positive consumer ratings and Critics endorsements.
Independent Developer Raccoon Logic has shared the latest trailer for their self published sci-fi adventure Revenge of the Savage Planet, launching on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC on 8th May. Shown as part of the Future Games Show, the trailer showcases the Cosmic Hoarder Edition, which includes, 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, the Official digital Soundtrack and Artbook, and if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also get three days access from the 5th of May.
The first game Journey to the Savage Planet was certainly a silly game, but if this trailer is anything to go by it’s going to amp up to ludicrous levels. With couch co-op available it’s going to be a blast to experience this with a friend.
Revenge of the Savage Planet is coming to PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC on May 8th.
