Oddworld’s Lorne Lanning has revealed that brand custodians Just Add Water are working on a remake of Abe’s Oddysee.
“Abe HD is going into production,” he said speaking to EGM in next month’s issue. “It’s basically Abe’s Oddysee being redone in a 3D physics engine as a 2D side-scrolling platformer.”
“So the way Just Add Water wants to approach it, we thought was very smart; they are not trying to reinvent any wheels. ”
“It’s like, ‘Can we make that experience in a new engine, with new tech, in the old way?’”
A quick chat with JAW’s Stewart Gilray reveals the game is indeed coming.
Can’t wait.

So they are just remaking the first game? Damn, I was hoping for a whole HD collection of all the classics. Well, it’s a start and although I already saved every Modukon (which was as hard ad it was fun) in the game I will buy this just to go through all the trouble again. This must be one of my all time favorite gaming franchises.
