Games Thirst – Amazing Life
You’ve been itching for an Oddworld showing haven’t you? We also, but you won’t have to scratch your skin and scalp any longer. The odd game is back!
The game’s been absent since the release of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath in 2005. Oddworld’s main protagonist, the mukodon called Abe, hasn’t been seen since Munch’s Oddysee for the original Xbox in 2001.
What’s really amazing, however, is the fact that for twelve months, UK developer, Just Add Water, said they’ve been working on new Oddworld titles. Well we must admit, the secret was well kept.
“To work with the team at Oddworld has been amazing; being able to tap the minds of Lorne Lanning, Sherry McKenna and others has been fantastic,” Just Add Water’s Managing Director Stewart Gilray said on the the developer’s blog.
“It’s almost symbiotic in that when something moves forward on any of the projects we just start chatting about new items, or what if we do this. We’re all extremely excited to breathe life into the Oddworld universe and indeed to let it breathe life into us.”
Long live Oddworld, then. Looking forward to the new installments.
