The first game in the Oddworld series is getting a "from the ground up" remake.
The Oddworld series is a beloved franchise, but outside of a the recently released Stranger's Wrath HD port and the upcoming Munch's Oddysee rerelease not much has been heard. The Hand of Odd is still coming, but no one really knows when, but that's okay since Just Add Water keeps on giving the series some HD love, as it has been announced that the first game in the series, Abe's Oddysee, will not get a HD remix as originally planned, but a full-on remake.
Something Odd this way comes...
Oddworld: Hand of Odd has had a rather strange journey. Development for the game began in parallel with Munch’s Oddysee on the PlayStation 2. When Munch jumped the Sony ship to be a launch title on Microsoft’s original Xbox, Hand of Odd was left in limbo and development on what was to be some sort of real-time strategy game came to a screeching halt.
No word on whether an Xbox 360 edition is planned.
Just a few weeks ago developer Just Add Water delivered on their promise to rerelease Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath in glorious HD. Many gamers would have been content with seeing this underappreciated gem get a second chance on a new platform, but according to a tweet from their official Twitter account, the folks running Oddworld these days have further plans to spread the HD love by announcing Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee for an end of quarter two release.
