The last time that odd inhabitant from Oddworld made an appearance was back in 2005 on the original Xbox. The time has come for them to return to the gaming space, as industry veteran and Maxis co-founder Jeff Braun has revealed that a new Oddworld game is in development at series creators Oddworld Inhabitants.
Speaking at Wilfrid Laurier University, Braun stated that the game would make use of a “revolutionary, cinematic quality” 3D animation system and that the game will be in episodic format, but that it is still years away from release.
“The rendering tools are getting so good now for 3D animation that you can literally create a linear animation and create a video game using the exact same objects,” Braun said. “The tools are finally getting to the level where we can come out with a show and we can come up with a game.”
No further information on the title was revealed.
