Pixel Starships is rocketing off into the future as the iconic Thunderbirds franchise will drop into the game on August 23. SavySoda made the reveal today as they're working with Zoo 55, part of ITV Studios, to license the characters out for a limited time. You'll be able to recruit the heroes of International Rescue to your crew in an effort to thwart another one of The Hood's devious schemes! We have mroe details about the collab from the team below, along with screenshots showing off what the content will look like.

Prevent The Hood's Latest Plan as Thunderbirds Join Pixel Starships

Created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and debuting in 1965, Thunderbirds became a global phenomenon, captivating audiences with its secret organization of heroes that uses incredible vehicles to save lives. Now, the Tracy brothers, Lady Penelope, and even the villainous Hood are joining the Pixel Starship's fleet and are ready to bring their unique brand of rescue to the stars.

Galactic anarchy can be a messy business: fires raging, EMPs frying systems, poison seeping through the airlocks. Now with the Thunderbirds in your crew, those status effects won't stand a chance. Each time the team repairs or attacks, they completely purge all negative effects, making them the ultimate guardian angels for any starship captain. It's a passive ability so powerful, it makes you feel invincible (don't worry, we won't tell the Hood).

Speaking of iconic hardware, this collaboration is the first time a new Starbase design is being introduced to the game: the legendary Thunderbird 5. Alongside the Starbase, International Rescue's most famous ship is also available for players to unlock: the iconic Thunderbird 2, for players to unlock and command. Captain these legendary vehicles, recruit fan-favorite heroes, and equip them with exclusive new gear to tackle the galaxy's toughest challenges.

• Players can recruit Lady Penelope, Brains, Scott Tracy, Virgil Tracy, Alan Tracy, and The Hood to their crews.
• Unleash a game-changing passive ability that removes all Status Effects on repair or attack.
• Command the iconic Thunderbird 2 Ship Hull and unlock the first collab Starbase, Thunderbird 5.
• Unlock new rewards, such as the Hover Pack, Telecall Communicator Beacon, and Starpoint Percolator (because who doesn't love coffee in space).
