Revenge of the Savage Planet release time – here's when the colourful co-op adventure launches
If you're in the mood for a playful and pulpy sci-fi adventure with a friend, you'll want to pay close attention to when the Revenge of the Savage Planet release time arrives.
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.
Revenge of the Savage Planet release time
The Revenge of the Savage Planet release time will arrive on Thursday, May 8, meaning that there's only a few more days left until players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can jump in. Sadly, developer Raccoon Logic has yet to give us an official release time alongside this date. That said, according to a post on the game's official Twitter account, the game entered its early access period yesterday at roughly 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST on all platforms.
Players not wanting to pony up for the early access version of Revenge of the Savage Planet will have to wait a while, then. However, this does indicate that the standard edition of the game will unlock this Thursday at the same time at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST too. When it does, players can look forward to scanning all five planets' indigenous wildlife, unlock crazy traversal skills, and generally be a big space goof in what is easily one of the most colourful co-op games of the year yet.

Beloved PlayStation and Xbox game played by 11 million closes forever in DAYS – Ubisoft is offering some a ‘full refund'
Team behind the title have already been let go END OF PLAY Beloved PlayStation and Xbox game played by 11 million closes forever in DAYS – Ubisoft is offering some a 'full refund' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUCH-LOVED game is shutting down next week on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S after only a year. The free-to-play first person shooter had 11million players across the world at its height.

The game in question is XDefiant, which was set in the Ubisoft universe with map locations based on several of the firm's biggest titles. It appears the decision to axe the title was because it failed to become profitable. "Many free-to-play games take a long time to find their footing and become profitable," Mark Rubin, the game's executive producer said. "It's a long journey that Ubisoft and the teams working on the game were prepared to make until very recently. "But unfortunately, the journey became too much to sensibly continue." He also tweeted in April that the whole team behind it were laid off. New downloads and purchases were already blocked in December when news of XDefiant's closure was first announced. Existing users have been able to continue playing on PlayStation, Xbox and PC but now the final nail in the coffin is here. Ubisoft is switching off the servers on Tuesday ending the game forever. PS5 owners can slash gaming bills with a two-tap trick that takes seconds – but two other hacks also save you money Fans have shared their sadness on social media. "Man this game was so fun, its sad to see it go so early, already have nostalgic feelings," one person wrote on Reddit. Another commented: "Thank you xDefiant for bringing me back to fps-arcade shooters and actually having a fun game." Ubisoft is offering a full refund to anyone who bought a Ultimate Founders Pack. OTHER GAME CLOSURES COMING UP Here's what to watch out for... The First Descendant - June 19 Black Desert - June 26 Resident Evil ReVerse - June 29 Madden NFL 21 - June 30 Arizona Sunshine - July 1 Skyworld - July 1 Danmachi Battle Chronicle - September 29 WWE 2K24 - September 30 Madden NFL 22 - October 20 PGA Tour 2K21 - October 30 NBA 2K24 - December 31 Image credit: Alamy Those who bought a VC or DLC since November 3, 2024, will also be fully refunded.

Why is nobody talking about the PS5 anymore? - Reader's Feature
A reader worries that Sony's strange behaviour over the last few years has seen the PS5 become sidelined and ignored compared to other formats. For years now, I've been reading people, both here and elsewhere online, asking what has happened to Sony and why they're acting the way they do now. The lack of showcases, the general lack of communication, the obsession with live service games, and the reduction in new single-player games… it's obvious to everyone and yet we've never had an explanation or an acknowledgement from Sony that anything unusual is happening. I think it's pretty obvious that we're not going to get one either. Sony are just going to carry on being weird and pretending that's what they were always like. They've been like this for well over two years now, so anyone buying a PlayStation 5 in that time will never know anything else. There is a problem though – well there's multiple, obviously – but the thing I can't help but notice at the moment is how little people talk about the PlayStation 5 anymore. The Switch 2 is eating up a lot of bandwidth right now but it's not just that. The PlayStation 5 feels played out, a disappointment and unexciting, just part of the gaming furniture and nothing more. The Switch 2 launch is coming up, but people have been talking excitedly about it for months now. A new console is obviously a rare thing, that's always going to draw attention, but the PC as a gaming format has also been a big topic for the last year or so. It's far more popular than I have ever known and now seems to be the default format for games, rather than any console. That's the position the PlayStation 5 should have but it's not really how it's turned out. You could argue even the Xbox has been more a topic of conversation recently, even if that's in a negative way. But at least people don't forget it exists. It looks like we probably won't get a PlayStation showcase this month, since they've already missed their usual May slot, and the rumours say maybe not one until September. That's ridiculous. Not only do we know virtually nothing about Ghost Of Yōtei, but there's nothing confirmed for next year yet, except Saros (had to look up that spelling). Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and Marvel's Wolverine don't have any year confirmed yet and that's all we know about in terms of games made by Sony themselves. I'm not going to speculate on why this is happening or when it might end, because frankly I haven't got a clue, but I do know that it's having a very negative effect on PlayStation's reputation, in a way people aren't talking about enough. The PlayStation 5 just seems invisible now, something that's always there but which nobody cares about and definitely something nobody is excited about. Will this change if they announce a new game? Well, it didn't with Ghost Of Yōtei. You could say that's not really their biggest franchise, and you'd be right, but the longer Sony carries on in zombie mode the harder it is going to be to get anyone's attention. It won't be long before it needs The Last Of Us Part 3 or God Of War 3 before there's any kind of a reaction, but I don't see those games happening anytime soon. Sony is so out of touch they think fans will wait forever for whatever news they can be bothered to tell us, and then we'll be amazed and excited, but I don't think that's true anymore. More Trending The PlayStation 6 seems to be only a year away and the sad thing is that means the PlayStation 5 is just going to fade away, forgotten and underused. How can a console be this successful and yet be such an utter failure and disappointment at the same time? I wouldn't have thought it possible and yet here we are.
