A spin-off of the Oddworld series, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath attaches an unrelated shooter to the beloved franchise as players undertake the role of a mysterious bounty hunter known as Stranger, who seeks to make a living in Oddworld's rugged West.
So yes, we will be seeing more from Oddworld. Regarding the library, we are in the process of converting Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath to the PC, so that all four of the major Oddworld games will be re-releasing this winter in a package called "The Oddbox." This will be the Abe games, Munch, and Stranger as one package for Steam's digital distribution network, as well as a few other digital distribution outlets.
Wow, that is totally, 100% amazingly, brilliantly, fantastically, awesomely, orgasmically awesome. I loved Abe's Oddyssey & Exoddus. The universe was fantastic, the gameplay was awesome. They are two of my favourite games ever. I really, really wanted to play the sequels but since I never owned an original Xbox, and the Backwards compatibility on 360 for Munchy is half broken and for Strangers is non existent, I never got to play the sequels. This is fantastic news!!!!!!
I've still got both games for my regular Xbox. But I think being able to play Strangers Wrath on my PC would be a much better deal. Great news for those who missed out on this game. (Much like me)
I don't understand the excitement about Munch's Oddysee I've seen here and other places. When the game came out it was correctly judged as mediocre. Stranger's Wrath on the other hand...
