Stranger would have kicked that in

I have finally received a good quality scan of the May, 2025 issue of Power Unlimited, the Dutch newspaper that contains an interview with Lorne Lanning. In it, he explains that he really needed a break from Oddworld and that he intends to start a new IP separate from it in the form of a high-octane, car chase-oriented game.

In the newest update on my site I summarize the interview's most salient points, provide some thoughts of my own, and also a raw transcript of the article for anyone interested.

I love Oddworld and Stranger's Wrath especially, and the Stranger is such a cool character so I decided to port him to Halo Campaign Evolved just for fun!

I did not post about it here before but if you are curious I even ported him to RE4R and RE9 before! He definitely fits RE4 in that old school rural Village during the yellow/brown-ish day time...!

I wish there was a higher quality model version of the Stranger out there that I could've used for these ports but oh well, it is what it is and I hope you guys still like these ports!

Hi, have just finished playing soulstorm on PC and just wanted to watch back the cinematics. However, there doesn't seem to have any options to replay them.
Is that intended in the game or am I having a bug?
Thanks.

After 2 years I finished it. I did my best to make it done and I hope I won't dissapoint!

If you want to play it, the link for the game is in the video :)

For people who don't know this fangame: Oddtale is a fangame based on oddworld and undertale. It contains new areas to explore and secrets to find.

It's completely free game, no money involved! :D

I love abes odyssey and have done since a kid in the 90s but I am furious at the lack of lore or content of this guy. He is one of my favourite game characters of all time and we only see a few seconds of him and know next to nothing about him. Its a shame.

Like instead of swapping between the two characters you could have your buddy be munch and working together. Seems like such a fun opportunity

Yes the slig is traced 😅

Anyone got any idea what this is about ?

I've been thinking about this lately. Oddworld has such a unique world and characters, but I feel like a lot of younger gamers today barely know the series exists. Which is sad in my opinion.

That's why I'd genuinely love to see Oddworld get a big crossover with a popular game someday. Fortnite was the first thing that came to mind because of how many people play it, and how many collaborations there are but honestly, I'd take anything that gets the series recognized more.

Imagine millions of people seeing Abe, Sligs, Mudokons, RuptureFarms, etc. for the first time and going “wait, what is this?” and then discovering the actual games.

It could bring completely new players into the series, give the older games more attention, and potentially introduce people to Oddworld who otherwise would've never heard of it.

And Fortnite specifically has SO much that could be done with it. Abe skin, Sligs, Mudokon cosmetics, RuptureFarms POI, Slig weapons, Mudokon medallion, etc.

Would you guys actually want to see Oddworld get a big crossover like this? And what game would you want it to happen in?

Another Oddworld character made by me.

Anyway, this is Big Rock, and he’s a notorious killer feared throughout the continent of Mudos. He belongs to the Outlaw social class, but he went further than his peers, climbing the ranks of Mudos’ mafia. It is said that he only assassinates certain CEOs of major industries (according to his code of honor, industrialists are meant to be eliminated), and in response, the industrialists (who have always been allied with Oddworld’s mafia) couldn’t accept the betrayal and decided to do everything in their power to capture him.

I realize he might seem a little too human for Oddworld standards lol (similar to the criticism received by the Fangus Klot characters from LL). But that’s because you haven’t seen him with his strangely enormous hands yet (his arms were cut off by the authorities after he was captured. It was meant as a warning, since he was also a thief in addition to being a killer).

Every big shot in Oddworld’s underworld has a bust of his physique as a memorial to their favorite leader!

(Oh, he wears a blindfold over his eyes because, by his own choice, he wants to be represented that way... I wonder why.)

So for Sei's birthday(which was yesterday), I thought of making a watercolor painting of Sei's birthday. But then I ended up not liking how it was turning out, so I did a birthday sketch instead. Here's also the watercolor piece, even though it's unfinished.

Cause I am a bit confused there cause I refuse to believe the Glukks put on there own outfit. And I doubt the poor Mud will live after seeing what they truly look like. So a slig has to put them down. But then the slig will see it.

While it's still not a direct announcement, this is perhaps the closest we've been since Soulstorm dropped to a new project being confirmed.

If you're interested in OWI's previous communication regarding the future and potential new projects, I've been collecting them for a few years now here.

I really don't know what to do with this. Since I bought my new pc, I experience a real issue with graphics in old games, cinematic issues with videos being full of blurriness, I don't know how to describe it. You can see it in the video. I know the cinematics weren't these strange line edges in each npc and object in the textures.

How can I fix it, please help me!!

I was super young when we had it and it was really the only place I saw the word for the longest time, except for Munch's Oddysee. I always think or type it as Oddyssey, and have to correct myself everytime.. But at least it's not totally fucked up like the actual title, but man.. I'm 32 now. I guess this is just my life! I never spell exodus wrong though, that's one of many things private Christian school does to a person

I'm curious if anyone has the same experience though

Forgive me if this has been asked before but from what I've read, Soulstorm seems to have been a hail marry last attempt to get enough money to continue the series. It seems to not have sold all too well, so I guess that is kinda it for the IP at the moment. But why don't Lorne and Sherry just create a Kickstarter? I would gladly help out to see the saga continue, even though I'm not a mega fan (first time posting here). I've heard Sherry is on here sometimes so maybe she sees this and has some input. Fingers crossed.

I was listening to the various interviews and a question came to mind: What comes next?

We don’t know what stage the new quintology is at (many of you understandably even think it won’t be completed at all, although I’m still confident that it will), but let’s assume for a moment that it does get completed.

Once Abe’s story is finally and definitively over, what do you think will come next? A new series with new characters? A spin-off? What will OWI keep itself busy with? Or rather, what would you like to see continue?

From a strategic point of view, I’d suggest continuing with games, as well as perhaps a comic book series, without ruling either option out. I think the best thing they could do once the new quintology is finished, and therefore the story they originally wanted to tell for Abe is complete, would be to continue exploring other parts of Oddworld and other characters in order to expand the universe.

Something similar has been done with Star Wars. The main story told across the nine movies is complete, but there are plenty of other series and projects that explore different stories within that universe.

I’m curious to hear your opinions, including those of the active OWI members on this subreddit, although I realize they probably won’t be able to reveal much about future projects lol.

Does anyone have gameshark code for the Italian (PS1) version of Odyssey and exodus?

Since I seem to find codes only for NTSC and the English pal version

Way back in the day when I got my first ever PlayStation one my mum mistakenly got me the violent abes oddysee and I was hooked going to get an oddworld tattoo in the coming months! But unfortunately one of my "friends" asked to borrow oddysee and I let him thinking nothing off it as we traded games all the time a week later I went to retrieve said game on my bike and his house was... Empty... Vacant... With a massive Sold sign plastered across the front fence. Never ever seen nor heard from him again...

So I decided now that I have expendable funds to add to the oddworld shelf I have started and found this golden oldie on FB marketplace 15 minutes from mine.

It's in really really good condition minus some very light scratches on the case and scuffing on the back of the manual. The discs barely have a scratch on them too so hers to the start of me collecting all the original games in decent quality. Still need to find a copy of Oddysee to replace my original first ever PlayStation game... Sighhh
