Oddworld Inhabitants' Lorne Lanning said back in April that plans for future games in the charming and strange Oddworld series have been put on hold. But a Twitter account supposedly penned by series' protagonist Abe is causing some to speculate that there's a new game coming sooner than we thought.
The tweets from "Abe" primarily reference Oddworld plot elements which lead up to the events in Abe's Oddysee. An interaction with a follower specifically mentions "2.5" in response to a fervent and somewhat ambiguous request for "2 Dimensions." So, that could be something, right? It could be a downloadable addition to the Oddworld franchise in 2.5D, right? RIGHT?
Or it could be marketing aimed at selling the Oddbox collection of the series which has been delayed but is expected to arrive on Steam soon.
Or it could be nothing at all. The still-unconfirmed Twitter account also says that there will be a new Oddworld site in July and we've been waiting on that for four years. I'm gong to be cautiously pessimistic on this one and assume that someone is toying with me until Lanning pops up and proves otherwise.

I'll support any kind of "2.5D" project that may exist.
DO WANT!
Ah well Abe along with Heart of darkness are the best 2D games ever made. Whatever they do next MUST be amazing or else.
Bastards.
"follow me"
Weren't both Abe games sorta 2.5D anyway? I mean, you could possess people in the background while in the fore and vice-versa.
Not only was Abe's Exoddus was a 'bonus game', but so was Stranger's Wrath. The only games that are considered part of the main pentalogy are Abe's Oddysee and Munch's Oddysee. But Munch was screwed a little by being rushed out for the Xbox launch, so Lorne said it may no longer be able to function as part of the pentalogy as planned. There were rumours of a director's cut a few years back, but sadly nothing ever came of them.
I love the oddworld universe, and Abe's Oddysee and Exoddus are two of my favourite games of all time, but I just can't see this happening.
