Oddworld: Soulstorm is a platform game developed and published by Oddworld Inhabitants for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. It is the continuation of 2014's Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! and a re-imagining of 1998's Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus. Similar to its predecessor, the game is a 2.5D side-scrolling platform game. Protagonist Abe returns in the game and his goal is to save his fellow mudokons from slave labor. The game features a new crafting system in which Abe can craft and customize different weapons. While the game is mostly linear, it features a massive train hub area where players can access new levels and areas. On March 14, 2016 it was announced via a press-release that a new game titled Oddworld: Soulstorm is in development and is slated to be released later in 2017, later delayed to 2019. Then again delayed to 2020. The game has been described by Oddworld Inhabitants as "a complete story retake [of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus] inspired by our original tale." A team of 30 people was working on the game. In this video Dreamcastguy does an honest review of Oddworld Soulstorm on a PS5 while talking about the great gameplay and glitches and hard crash errors. Due to the commercial success of New 'n' Tasty!, the game had a larger budget, and the developer collaborated with Frima Studio in Canada, and Fat Kraken Studios in England. Before the announcement, it was announced in April 2015 that a remake of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus was in the planning stages. Lorne Lanning, the director of Abe's Exoddus, said that Exoddus's success would contribute significantly to future Oddworld titles, and would be marketed more broadly than New 'n' Tasty!. During the development of Oddworld: Soulstorm, Oddworld Inhabitants have started an alternate reality game in which they encourage fans to look for clues within files and websites they upload. In September 2016 at the EGX Expo, Oddworld Inhabitants game designer Matt Glanville said that Oddworld: Soulstorm would be a bigger version of Abe's Exoddus, featuring some areas and game mechanics from Exoddus as well as entirely new areas. He said that some parts from Abe's Exoddus will look 'completely different to the original'. The Quarma system from Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee would return and the path that the player takes would depend on the storyline. He also stated that Oddworld: Soulstorm would be a sequel to Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty and will be what Abe's Exoddus should have been.
