As someone who's never played any of the Oddworld titles, I'm not entirely excited about the prospect of several new games on the way. But, knowing how beloved this franchise is, I am extremely excited FOR YOU, because we've just heard there are "multiple" new Oddworld titles in the works, across "multiple" platforms.
RuptureFarms is reopening for an HD remake of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. According to Oddworld Inhabitant's head Lorne Lanning, the remake is currently brewing at the UK studio Just Add Water, and will sport a whole new look for the offbeat, 1997 puzzler...

Oddworld Stranger is the latest in the platform puzzler series but has surprisingly mutated into a first-person shooter. These first screenshots of the game provide visual proof that the series has shifted direction but, befitting the Oddworld tradition, this isn't your run-of-the-mill shoot-'em-up.The central character is Stranger, a rootin'-tootin' bounty hunter.
