If you got excited over Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD's recent remaster and still haven't gotten enough Oddworld, you may be happy to hear that Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD has been confirmed via Just Add Water's Twitter to be coming by the end of Q2 for PS3 and PlayStation Vita.
Originally released as a launch title for the Xbox, Munch's Oddysee was the second chapter of the unfinished Oddworld pentalogy. I personally never got a chance to check it out because I was too distracted with Halo: Combat Evolved and Brute Force, so I'm definitely looking forward to giving it a shot. Just Add Water also released a comparison of Munch's old model with his new one and seeing just that improvement has me excited already. I'm a sucker for HD makeovers.

Indeed.
So I got Stranger's Wrath on PS3 and am loving it. I'll definitely get Munch as soon as it comes out.

It makes Oddworld Inhabitants sad too. Microsoft is blocking this and Stranger's Wrath HD, and will likely continue for the foreseeable future for reasons unknown.
I can never find this game anywhere, I'll definitely buy this.
Plus, I disagree, all Oddworld games are the good ones. Even though Munch may have shitty controls.
One of my favorite games and they didn't even make it Backwards Compatible.
That's probably because a fresh sci-fi FPS was a much more interesting prospect than a cancelled PS2 game running on an Xbox. Ironically, Oddworld Inhabitants actually spent more time cutting content out BECAUSE MS wanted it as an exclusive launch title. :P
@Jibberwocky
While Abe's Exoddus is canon, it's essentially just an expansion pack to Oddysee and not part of the intended Pentology.
@JohnApocalyse
First they said because both games exceed the 2GB limit, then Just Add Water said they can work around that, and now apparently the requirement is that the original version must have a minimum aggregate of 80% in review scores (yet the Xbox version has 88 and the PSN version has 82)
TL;DR - Microsoft being jerks.
@onomatapedalo
Uh, Sega stopped making adds-on years ago dude, this will not be released for the 32X. ;D
"The following game list is final as of November 2007. No additional original Xbox games will be added to this list."
Fortunately, Microsoft was able to make "Drake of the 99 Dragons" backward-compatible before abandoning the project.
:P
