Five years after the original Journey to the Savage Planet released as a surprisingly charming and comedic cult hit, this week sees its bigger, better sequel launch on PC and console.

One of the biggest surprises during lockdown was the original Journey to the Savage Planet. Very much playing like a more slapstick Metroid Prime, it charged you and a friend to explore a colourful planet – full of all kinds of goo and quirky critters – in the hopes of finding your way home. Fast forward five years later and we stand on the brink of the sequel arriving, with the official Revenge of the Savage Planet release time prepping for launch later this week. It’s a much bigger sequel that introduces a new perspective, new planets to explore, and even more new ways to do it. What’s not to love?

If you’re eager to get exploring some of the zaniest planets ever crafted either alone or with a friend, you’ll want to be aware of when Revenge of the Savage Planet release time is set to launch. The good news is there’s not too long to wait. And even better, players with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription can rest easy knowing they can jump in on day one – at no additional cost. Obviously, this won’t be the case for players on PlayStation, but there’s still plenty of goo-slinging fun to be had when the Revenge of the Savage Planet release time arrives. Here’s exactly when you can start playing what we called a “bigger, better, sillier sequel’ in our recent review.
