it's been a full four years since we last controlled any of oddworld's strange inhabitants, with the most recent entry in the series dropping on xbox. we'll get another chance soon, however, as an interview with bitmob earlier this week with series creator lorne lanning announced the inking of a deal with sony to release ''''''the original abe games'''''' on psn ''''''very soon'''''' -- something an esrb rating at least partially hinted at early last month.

furthermore, the entire series is getting packaged for digital re-release as the oddbox (including munch's oddysee and stranger's wrath, previously console-exclusive games), available digitally ''''''sometime this winter.'''''' when pressed on a new game in the series though, lanning kept mum, saying ''''''we hope to have an announcement soon, but i've been saying that for a while now so i'll just shut up and hope for the best.'''''' looks like we'll be mirroring lanning's actions for now, unfortunately.
