Oddworld Soulstorm also coming to PlayStation 5

Development studio Oddworld Inhabitants has revealed new footage of Oddworld Soulstorm, the upcoming 1998 remake of Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus. No release date has been announced yet with the new trailer.

The footage, shown during Sony’s Future of Gaming Show, shows that Abe must once again be the shepherd of his race, the Mudokons, and protect them from the aggressive Glukkons. Again it is a side-scroller, although the depth is also used so much that it might be considered a 2.5D platformer. It is also striking that Quarma, the Mudokon variant of karma, plays a role again. Abes karma status determines the end of several Oddworld games.

In the title of the YouTube upload, Sony speaks of this as an announcement of the game. However, the existence of Oddworld Soulstorm is already known and even officially recognized since 2016. Several trailers of the game have also been shown in recent years. It has also become known that the PC version exclusive will be on the Epic Games Store.
