Oddworld Inhabitants has announced that it is breaking from the previous years of console exclusivity and bringing the remaining games in the Oddworld series to the PC.
"
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," Oddworld's Lorne Lanning told
BitMob.
"
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."
The older Oddworld games,
Abe's Oddysee and
Abe's Exoddus, are already available on the PC and have been re-released on Steam and Good Old Games in recent years.
For those not in the know,
Stranger's Wrath is a western-themed first person shooter based on the eponymous bounty hunter, while
Munch's Oddysee is an action puzzler that bears the distinction of being one of the original Xbox 360 backwards-compatible games. Both games are set in the Oddworld universe that has become Oddworld Inhabitants' motif setting.
"
[Regarding new games in the series,] we hope to have an announcement soon, but I've been saying that for awhile now so I'll just shut up and hope for the best," said Lanning.
