Lorne Lanning confirms he's on the new Oddworld

So are we talking current-gen? People still keep throwing this next-gen title on the current systems.

(Pre-emptive)

All i can say is fuck all of you trolls, Let the oddworld rupture come and leave you assholes behind.

(get it, rapture, rupture)

Only ever played the first one but really enjoyed it. The graphics really stood out at the time, not to mention the unique gameplay.

"Follow me!"
"Ok!"

I know there's no chance it's gonna be 2-d, but...

Pleaseohpleaseohplease be in 2-d

I don't quite get the Maxis / Oddworld Inhabitants relation. I thought one of the reasons Lanning decided to switch focus away from video game development was because of EA's poor marketing of Stranger's Wrath (among other reasons)? Seems Odd that they would team up with an EA again, unless I'm looking at it completely wrong.

Whatever the case, I've been hoping for a new Oddworld for a long time. Maybe in time they could even resurrect The Brutal Ballad Of Fangus Klot and Hand of Odd!
