Several months after its original launch window has passed and nearly two years after it was first announced, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD will finally bring its adorable, charming weirdness to the PlayStation Network before the new year rings in.

Specifically, Just Add Water's remake of the OG Xbox launch title will hit European PSN on December 19 for €8.99/£7.99, with a $9.99 North American launch following sometime in "late December," according to the official website. Considering that there's only one other Tuesday in "late December," which is Christmas Day, we're pretty sure that's what they're talking about.

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Vita, Munch's Oddysee HD both due in June

JC Fletcher — Mon, 21 May 2012 10:15:00 EST

The PlayStation Vita port of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath should be released in late June, according to statements made by Just Add Water CEO Stewart Gilray on the PlayStation Blogcast. "That's my intention," Gilray said. "The QA might say 'noooo' but that's my plan anyway."

The Vita version includes tweaks to make the game more natural on a handheld, like the ability to switch between third- and first-person views by double-tapping on the touchscreen, and using a "pinch" gesture to zoom.

Gilray also hopes to get the HD update of Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee out in June. That's planned for PS3 and Xbox, though of course only the PS3 version was mentioned.

Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD coming Q2, see Munch's new model

Jordan Mallory — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 12:00:00 EST

Just Add Water, the developer responsible for bringing Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath back to life in high definition, will be releasing its HD remake of Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee by the end of Q2, according to the dev's Twitter account.

As our more crotchety readers will surely remember, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee was a launch title for the original Xbox, as well as the second chapter in the tragically unfinished Oddworld pentalogy. At the moment, all we have is the announcement, a logo and a small image of Munch's updated character model (which you can see after the break), but rest assured that we'll be on this like Sligs on a Mudokon.

Richard Mitchell — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 18:00:00 EST

We've seen mockups from the Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath HD makeover, and now Just Add Water has released HD renders of everyone's favorite Oddworld inhabitant, Abe, as he appears in Munch's Oddysee HD. The little downtrodden Mudokon has never looked better ... though he could probably do with a sandwich or something. Dude is skinny.
