Recently a Twitter account for put-upon Mudokon Abe was discovered, leading some of us to believe that a new Oddworld game was being teased. Well ... it was! Just Add Water, the studio behind Gravity Crash, is working on a brand new game set in the Oddworld universe. Is this awesome? Yes it is!
Just Add Water confirmed that it was working with the Oddworld Inhabitants folk on "multiple projects, across multiple platforms" and they'll be "starring all of your favorite Oddworld characters." Even better, series creator Lorne Lanning is on board with the project, hopefully guaranteeing that the classic Oddworld style remains intact!
That's all we know for now, although the PS Nation podcast will apparently have some more juicy gossip tonight. This is quite possibly the best news ever, and speaking as a hardcore fan of the original Oddworld games, I could not be happier to hear this news. Effing marvelous!

Which translated means "YEEEEESSSS"
HOLY CUNTING MOTHER OF FUCKING CHRISTING COCK I WANT TO EXPLODE IN A SHOWER OF RAINBOWS OF SPUNK RIGHT NOW FUCKING FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Now I have to beat Oddysee and Exoddus
Also, I second Jim's sentiments (sediments?).
Something in the vein of the first two would be amazing.
And as Sean Carey said, more Stranger would be totally badass. Espescially since there's still no 360 compatibility for the first one. I've been wanting to play again for ages.
First two are on Steam.
I loved it.
But... after seeing how much they fucked up Munch's Oddysee, I'm cautiously pessimitic about this new game...
Abe's Odyssey and Exodus are on PSN right now. They've been there for some time. I didn't like Munch's Odyssey much, but I heard great things about Stranger's Wrath. (Didn't get a chance to play that one)
With great joy, of course.

plastic cocks.
I tried Munch's Odysee but the 360's backwards compatibility emulation is terrible for it.
Maybe they'll do HD remakes for all of them!
