The Oddworld Franchise Is Back In A Big Way, Then.

That's the mentality Just Add Water's taking with Oddworld, as it's announced a batch of new PlayStation 3 releases to celebrate the rebirth of the franchise.

We already know about the PlayStation 3 remake of XBOX-exclusive Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. That's still happening, although Just Add Water has delayed the title into a vague "summer" release window. No doubt we'll be hearing much more about that game soon.

"Stranger is coming out this summer," JAW boss Stewart Gilray told Eurogamer at the GameCityNights event in Nottingham.

Stranger's Wrath is not the only Oddworld title coming to PS3 this year though. Just Add Water has also announced an HD remake of Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee which is due out on the PlayStation 3 in October. That will launch alongside a PlayStation 3 Oddboxx promotion, featuring all four games from the series.

"We thought, why don't we just make up the set and do Munch HD as well?" added Gilray.
