Yeah I believe the company quit making video games and moved onto CGI for movies. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

yup, the poster above me is correct, they don't make games anymore. However, I'd still like to see Stranger's Wrath gain backwards compatibility on my 360.

It says at the end of the manual of the first Oddworld game, Abe's Odyssey, that the series would have 5 games.

I was wondering the same thing, what happened to Oddworld. Those games were fun! I guess the people have responded in this Forum.

Yeah I'd love to see a new Oddworld game.

And yeah I only recall there being 4 Oddworld games. The first 2 Oddworld's on the PSone, the one that launched with the 360 and then Strangers Wrath. I beleive there was also an Oddworld RTS they were working on that was scrapped. Wonder if that was supposed to be the forth game.

I'd love to see a quality studio pick up the rights to Oddworld if the developers don't want to make games anymore. Someone like Rare or Insomniac could probably do a great job.

Well they are going to be working on a movie and TV show (or something like that) but not any games atm. There is still a chance of more games but nothing in the near future unfortunately.

Strangers wrath as good as it was didn't sell too well I thought they went out of buisness due to financial troubles, good to hear they might be back.
