'Oddworld: Soulstorm' (ALL) Gets Physical On PS4 And PS5

by Rainier on Aug. 17, 2020 @ 1:45 p.m. PDT

Oddworld: Soulstorm picks up from Abe’s genesis and directly follows on from the overthrow of RuptureFarms and the liberation of his blighted workmates.

Witness Abe's horrifying conflict with a terrifying new machination.
A fresh narrative - a complete story retake inspired by our original tale.
A big visual and cinematic leap aiming to break new ground for Oddworld.
Intelligent new mechanics, twisted new devices enabling highly explosive deviousness.
A dark parable that tells an epic tale of a volatile society pushed to its limits.

Having defeated Molluck The Glukkon, his former boss and RuptureFarms’ meanest inhabitant, Abe finds himself - along with 300 newly emancipated Mudokons - without food, water or a place to call home. Stranded alone in the desert, they find solace in a strange new brew - a delicious drink that has insidious ramifications for their newfound freedom.

Oddworld: Soulstorm will continue to chew up the themes of environmentalism, capitalism, consumerism and addiction that critics and fans found so engaging in the "AAA Indie" release of Oddworld’s last pensive platformer, New ’n’ Tasty.

Revolutions start small but can gain traction quickly and Abe’s actions have not gone unnoticed.  The well-funded and powerful opposition is increasingly rising against him albeit in devious and disinforming ways.  In SOULSTORM, Abe will uncover a terrifying machination, one that threatens to annihilate any hope of his people’s potential freedom.  If Abe fails to conquer this challenge his people will never have a chance to be free.

Following their partnership to bring the games Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath, Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee and Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty! to Nintendo Switch, French publisher Microids and the developer Oddworld Inhabitants are delighted to announce the signing of a co-publishing deal for the physical version of Oddworld: Soulstorm.

Oddworld: Soulstorm retains the core game play that fans have loved, while expanding with smart new features such as Scavenger's Economy System and Crafting in a way that is relevant to Abe as a character.  The game will feature leaderboards, trophies, and badges to extend the game’s possibilities and challenges. The game will be 10+ hours, but achievement hunters and leaderboard climbers will spend dozens more hours enjoying the game.

Oddworld: Soulstorm is coming to PS4 and PS5 (timed exclusive), and PC (Epic Games Store).
