Next Oddworld Still Coming

The house that Abe built is still plucking along on their next title, in spite of recent turbulence...

It"s expected soon that Oddworld Inhabitants" newest title (called Stranger, last time I checked) will be coming much closer to completion very soon. It is also believed that a publisher (perhaps Ubisoft or EA) will soon be announced for the title.

It"s been a up and down year for Oddworld Inhabitants. Recently, Atari sold its 50 per cent share in the company back in return for publishing royalties. This came a few months after Microsoft ending its publishing relationship with Oddworld Inhabitants (which was in stark contrast to the money Microsoft paid OI to develop Oddworld: Munch"s Oddysee as an Xbox exclusive launch title three years ago), which left OI in the publisher-less lurch that it"s in right now. However, if Oddworld Inhabitants finds a publisher and manages to get Stranger out the door by the end of the year, it could be result in a turnaround that the company likely needs right now.
