Speaking at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, Canada, Maxis co-founder Jeff Braun confirmed involvement in an upcoming Oddworld sequel.
"They're such a talented group of people," he said of the series' creator, Oddworld Inhabitants, "and I really trust their ability to create compelling content."
This would be the first game since 2005 Xbox title, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, but don't go trying to pre-order the game just yet. Braun admits the game may not ship for "years." I'd be happy if the game ships at all; I certainly miss the quirky sensibilities of Oddworld Inhabitants, and I'd love to see what they could do with next-gen hardware.

I personally wouldn't mind them having a mix of both the 3d roaming along with some of the old school 2.5d platforming. Of course, that's if this game ever makes it out.
DO WANT, by the way.
Twat. (Fixed.)
first few games, or is it an action game like Stranger's
Wrath. Probably the latter. I'm happy either way.
find me someone who can model my bathroom after the PS2's blue and black theme and we're talking cashcow.
...Alright, maybe just one.
HELLSYEAH!
It'd be cool if they were working on the "Oddword: Hand of Odd" RTS game they canceled, that sounded interesting.
Do want.
I AM SO HAPPY!
But so long to wait!
I gotta tell mi little brother he loved the original oddworlds and they hve a special place in our hearts the same as "The Dark Crystal" Yay FIZGIG!
I do wish though theyd put strangers wrath playable on xbox 360.
I'd love to buy a new HD one. They haven't let me down so far.
The only one i was skeptical was was Stranger's Wrath because of it's FPS style.
But it won me over, was tons of fun.
Oh, and Strangers Wrath is the best single-player console FPS... ever?
and yes Stranger's Wrath is indeed a highly underrated game
I was a HUGE fan of Munch's Oddysee, but never got to play Strangers Wrath because my original Xbox died before I got a chance to check it out and I don't see it listed on the backward compatibility list on xbox.com so I guess it is not worth tracking down a copy. Hopefully they will add it sometime soon.
