“Journey to the Savage Planet” Gets ‘Hot Garbage’ Expansion on April 15!

505 Games and Typhoon Studios are ready to expand “the weird and brightly colored world of comedic sci-fi exploration game” Journey to the Savage Planet. Fans can look forward to playing the ‘Hot Garbage’ expansion pack on April 15, 2020, for $7.99.

The upcoming ‘Hot Garbage’ expansion (or DLC) for Journey to the Savage Planet will be available on Xbox One and PC from the Epic Games Store. The reveal was shared for the first time on Microsoft’s Inside Xbox. During the event, the companies also announced that the title will debut for Xbox Game Pass subscribers on April 9, 2020.

As for PlayStation 4 players, the expansion will be available soon.

The official description reads:

Journey to the Savage Planet’s ‘Hot Garbage’ expansion rockets players to a new alien planet DL-C1 and tasks players with investigating reports of strange spikes in pollutants at Kindred Aerospace’s (voted 4th Best in Space) new interstellar waterfront resort. After discovering robotic representatives from Vyper Corp. (voted 2nd Best in Space) are using Kindred’s resort as a toxic waste dump, players will explore their way through more alien goo and report their findings back to corporate headquarters. Using the Kindred scanner to report their discoveries, players will unlock new upgrades to gear and abilities including lead boots for adventuring underwater, a specialized Kindred suit for traversing toxic areas, an unlimited stamina ability for endless sprinting and the power of flight (well, sort of).

The upcoming DLC will introduce you to Kronus, a trash-talking piece of Vyper Corp. property with a single mission to berate players throughout their adventure. Of course, the new area will feature unique flora and fauna. It will also have a “goofy” variation of the bird-like Puffer and a fleet of ‘harmless’ Vyper Corp. cleaning and flying security bots.

After a long day of dumpster diving, you can return to the Javelin habitat to view a selection of new commercials for the galaxy’s hottest products and services the future has to offer.
