The original Journey to the Savage Planet spent much of its runtime satirizing corporate overreach, which makes the ultimate fate of developer Typhoon Studios more than a little ironic. It was, after all, one of the initial acquisitions Google made to build content under the Stadia banner - and one of the studios to be unceremoniously closed once the massive corporation decided to shut down the entire Stadia initiative it had invested so much money in.
Despite what could have been a tragic end for the studio, the devs managed to pick themselves up, reacquire the rights to Savage Planet, and reform under the new name of Raccoon Logic. They've now lifted the veil on their next project: a sequel called Revenge of the Savage Planet, where the terrible little corporation from the original Metroidvania adventure has been acquired by a much bigger, much worse business that's sent you off on a 100-year cryosleep journey to chart distant worlds. You awaken on a new planet completely alone, but you have been given a message from your intergalactic HR department – two decades into your century-long nap, you were laid off. Good luck going solo on this uncharted alien planet!
