After a quick search it seems that on Tuesdays the store updates anywhere from 3-8pm EST.

Looks like it's out in the US.

You download the DLC and it's just this.

So Alf doesn't escape!? He dies from a fall!?

Well that's spoiled the ending!

Just seen the whole walkthrough.. omfg it looks difficult.. and that was on Easy Mode! I can't wait to be screaming at my TV tomorrow night :P

Looks like Alf DLCs attached pre-orders aren't working, at least for some. We're trying to resolve.

Yep, I still can't access either Alf's Escape or the costume DLC, all there is in the extras menu is Leaderboards, Movie Player and Credits, and nothing suggested in the thread in the Oddworld Help section has worked for me :'(

This didn't work?

Nope. :fuzsad:

I'm just going to post a quick reminder that if you want to discuss Alf's Escape after having played it, please do so in the Spoiler Forum.

We've not authorised or suggested any particular workaround involving safe mode, etc. Especially as each case is individual.

For Alf, if you pre-ordered we're waiting on a solution - there's little you can do unfortunately as it appears pre-order downloads for the DLC simply aren't working.

Scrub Abe should just be a download though from the Store, although you might have to do a 'restore licenses' on your PS4.

Just to confirm for some people: to play Alf's Escape you have to have already started playing the main game. Just progressing to the first checkpoint after the intro sequence should be enough.

Worth a try, as the option to play Alf's Escape won't appear until you've done this!

We did this because it's meant to be a super-hard level that is intended to be played once you've at least got to grips with the basics.

Alf's Escape is now out in Europe/UK too - http://www.oddworld.com/buy-games/

Cheers, i restored the licenses and then scrub abe and alf worked.

Just finished Alf then, if that's the standard of new original levels when the time comes for an all new game, we're in for treat. Alf was brilliant.

I can't find it on the store, and buying through the internet doesn't work either!!!

I've tried it on 3 different computers and even though the browser on the PS4 it'self.

Excellent, glad it worked!

Alf is out in Europe.. Day = Complete. Thank you JAW :)

Search Oddworld then go to "See All". It's there for me.

The difficulty level is over 9000!

For any kind of spoiler please discuss it in the spoiler forum over here:

Hey, I have a question relating to the free PS Plus offer. It's possible this has already been answered somewhere, but I haven't seen the answer in my random browsings so...

I've picked up the Alf's Escape DLC through my PS Plus subscription, but I don't currently own the game (no, I'm not expecting to be able to play it without the game :P I'm not THAT thick xD) - this didn't stop me from being able to get it. But, it specifically lists the DLC as being for PS4. My question is - will I be able to use this copy of the DLC on the PS3 version when that comes out, or have I basically got a DLC that's useless until I get a PS4? (And if so, will the free-with-Plus offer also be available for the PS3 version when it's out?)

Unknown, but I'd guess not, especially as we haven't announced how other formats will be getting the DLC.

Possibly.

We'll announce details on other formats in due course. :)

So the DLC isn't Cross Buy/Cross Save?

I said unknown.

What's the issue there? Sony DLC policy? Technical difficulties? Bad business decision?

The answer is simple: as yet, we don't know how it'll work. Hence: unknown. :fuzconf:

If not I sense the oncoming horde of some entitled consumers berating Twitter with the same questions - "Why can't I play Alf's Escape on my Vita!?" they demand. OddworldInc expresses their sincere apologies "Sorry, but unfortunately we couldn't make the DLC Cross Buy because of [pretty reasonable circumstance here] :("

But they will not be satiated.

"You said it was Cross Buy!"
"Well, no, we only said the main game-"
"Why can't I play Alf on my PS3??"
"Sorry, but unfortunately we-"
"Why does Oddworld keep treating their fans like shit!!"
"Sorry you feel that way. Honestly we are-"
"Why can't I access it on Vita!?!?"
Me - "Blahblahblah shut up!"
OWI *you'renothelping*
"OMG, you mean I have to buy it again!?!? I'm never buying another Oddworld game again even though I loved Alf's Escape"
":( sorry you feel that way. We hope-"
"When's it coming out for PC!!"

And it will never end!

Haha, well yes there will be those types, though I won't be one of them. Worst case scenario - if/when I get a PS4, I have Alf's Escape for that too. :P

*insert rant here, in complete contradiction of the previous statement's implications, of me demanding a PS3 version right now* :P
