Oddworld Returning To PlayStation

Follow me! Follow me!

According to Video Game Reviews, the two classic PlayStation Oddworld games have been locked for the PSN and are due on October 21st. For anyone unfamiliar with the rather wacky adventures of the Oddworld inhabitants, both games – Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exodus – were a peculiar blend of platforming and puzzling with plenty of fart gags thrown in, with the eponymous protagonist charged with escaping Rupture Farms (a meat processing plant) and rescuing as many of his friends along the way as possible. 

They were hugely successful back in the early PlayStation games and whilst the proceeding two games (a 3D Xbox launch title and a first person shooter) lost the way a bit, the original couplet still play extremely well and I personally would love to get my hands on them again, if only for the puerile humour. The site linked above also mentions something about a possible future Oddworld game, something we’ve also heard on the grapevine recently but in this instance our lips are well and truly sealed…

  1. Abe’s Oddysee was a great game. My 6 year old son will love it too. The fart jokes were very childish lol lol ;)


  2. My girlfriend loves these games. She still has the PS1 disks!

    She will shit when I tell her about this :)


    • So, this will help her get it out of her system?


      • ewwww


      • Abe, Not only a game; But a laxative too.


  3. doesn’t specify whether it’s for the us only, but i bet it will be.


  4. This is awesome news (if we do get it). Some more games to put on my go.


    • is the go worth the money cause im consideriong it?


  5. Ha i had this Abe’s Odyssey on PS1. It was so wierd


  6. Alright! Hope they arrive in EU stores soon too.


  7. [fanboy on]
    I hope everybody that did NOT forget the part that the new Odd World games where not created/ported to any Playstation after the success they had on Sony’s boxes will BAN these games and will not buy them!
    [fanboy off]

    Are these updated HD versions? can we slap somebody with AC3 sounds?


    • To be honest when they jumped ship it did annoy me a bit as I really enjoyed the first two and was unable to play munch’s odyssey.


  8. Strangers Wrath was a good overlooked game….I would be more excited for that to come back, but only because I completed Abes games recently on steam :)

    Shouldn’t the article picture be of Abe and not Munch?


  9. You have just made my morning. I love Oddworld and I remember being absolutely gutted when I read that Munch’s Odyssey was going to XBox. Can’t wait to play these again.

    “Hello. Follow me!”


    • Wait!


  10. Quality news….I loved both of these…I just told the wife and she cannot wait either, and she hates computer games, apart from this lol

    I think it must be the fart noises and “Follow me”.


  11. great fun, i remember waiting for the other games to be released on psone, and then ps2 but they never came =[


  12. Abe’s Odyssey was brilliant! I remember having one of those PS1 demo disks, which had this on it. Could only play the first level but I used to play it all the time. The comedy was brilliant and the puzzles were actually quite challenging.


    • Same for me, only ever played the demo and never got my mitts on the full game. I might just download these if the price is right.


  13. Follow me
    Ok
    Wait here
    Ok
    *Fart noise*

    Awesome…Simples


    • LOL classic man Abe was awesome back in the PS1 days ahhhhhhh…… some fond memories of the farting noises, ah. (i just let one go)


  14. Great news! Never got to play more than the demo, just like Kings. Played that level time after time. l’m gonna give Abe’s Odyssey a chance this time.


  15. YES!!
    I loved those games!!! 
    Cant wait to play em again :D
