TheSixthAxis is delighted to reveal the next step in Just Add Water’s Oddworld revamp with an “enhanced remake” of the award-winning Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath coming to PlayStation 3 next Easter.
Stranger’s Wrath was originally released in 2005 on the Xbox, and marks the first time since 1998 that we’ve seen an Oddworld game on a PlayStation console. The game will be available on the PlayStation Store.
“Since word got out that we’ve been working with Oddworld Inhabitants there have been many rumours circulating about what we’re working on. Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is the first project in what we believe will be a long and fruitful relationship,” said JAW’s Stewart Gilray.
“Having the chance to update this great title and release it on PS3 is just a brilliant opportunity, not least for us, but for the fans too.”
Stranger’s Wrath will support 720p visuals with added character detail, fancy effects like normal mapping and self shadowing and plenty of new bonus content. The game will also support the PlayStation Move.
More soon.
Update: the game is not a PS3 exclusive.

Scren looks good, not heard of the game before though, but that has changed.
Good to hear there is yet another game to add to the Move-supported list :P

Interesting choice to make the jump, and a 5 year old title too.. Well, I think I like the look of this, so it’s on my “to think of buying” list :)

Ah I see, Xbox 1, not 360. That makes a little more sense to the article and plans now. Stupid eyes.

Never heard of this game as I never had an Xbox, does Abe feature in this game or is it about a different character? For me Oddworld is about Abe! But I’ll be willing to give it a try…

Completely separate tale about a different race being persecuted by the Mudokons but with a real western (as in cowboy) slant, you should definitely try it if you like Oddworld and it’s inhabitants as an environment.

Just got the first via PS+, the oddworld games passed me by the first time around.

I like how they take an XBox exclusive, remake it, and make it a PS3 exclusive!
