The long-dormant Oddworld franchise is ready to make its return. Just Add Water, developer of Gravity Crash, has been working with Oddworld Inhabitants on "multiple projects, across multiple platforms ... starring all of your favorite Oddworld characters." Just Add Water Managing Director Stewart Gilray has also revealed that franchise creator Lorne Lanning is involved in the new projects.

While further details aren't yet available, a few more teases will be revealed on the PS Nation podcast tonight. To keep abreast of any breaking revelations, you can also follow AbeMudokon on Twitter.

Note the last sentence...

It’s with a huge amount of pride that we can announce that for the past 12 months we have been working extremely closely with the fantastic people at Oddworld Inhabitants, from what started off as brief discussions in June 2009, to now working on multiple projects, across multiple platforms.

Whilst we cannot go into specifics right now, we can tell you that over the coming weeks and months we will be announcing these exciting projects starring all of your favourite Oddworld characters.

“To work with the team at Oddworld has been amazing; being able to tap the minds of Lorne Lanning, Sherry McKenna and others has been fantastic,” said Just Add Water’s Managing Director Stewart Gilray.

“It’s almost symbiotic in that when something moves forward on any of the projects we just start chatting about new items, or what if we do this,” Gilray continued. “We’re all extremely excited to breathe life into the Oddworld universe and indeed to let it breathe life into us.”

this is such fantastic news, we go from nothing to a new website incoming that everyone assumes is likely to be about the antisocial network, to getting not just an oddworld related game but several seperate projects. i only hope that lorne is heavily involved in thier direction.

Great news. I guess AbeMudokon is legit after all.

This is very, very good news.

It's funny how I mentioned in another topic earlier today that there hasn't been any updates in about three or two years XD

But still, awesome news!

I'm so excited for this!

All of your favorite characters? Can we assume the three main protagonists we know are all getting a new game or at least show up in one of the games? Either way this makes me happy, great news.

Sorry...I couldn't resist. It's just so awesome :D

Great news, but I'll have to wait till I start seeing some stuff. We've been built up so many times just to be knocked down. I hope soo much that this will pan out soon!

Edit- The podcast is out now, http://www.psnation.org/2010/07/15/e...table-gravity/ listening to it now..

Edit2- Nothing new said, just that we'll here more news in the upcomming 2 weeks and months, and that it the first project may involve Abe..

Could it be? Has Oddworld really left its dormant sate?

The cake had better not be a lie...

The cake had better not be a lie...

That joke was beaten to a bloody puddle of goo a long time ago.

I want to do it, but I'm not game after the announcement...

This has made my day. I'm getting together with a group of friends in just over an hour, and I can safely predict that they'll be asking "why are you so happy?"

Well Boy howdy. This is fantastic news.

Yay finally :D I wonder what abe looks like now.

Thanks for checking it out! To bad there isn't actually anything new there.

YES !

Best news ever, I'm so glad

Excellent news :) all this waiting has payed off for all of us

I'm pleased I came back now after 4 years :)

Something stirs in the darkness. Exellenté.

Holy jesus this is just fantasic news! Thanks for the links Nate, you've made my week!

Soldier: 'Today is a Good Day!'

It's about freaking time. :D

I may have let out a girly Squeek when I saw this.

I'm irritated that AbeMudokon linked to this just ten minutes after I went to bed… But all the same, I'm still pleased as punch. :D

yeah i followed him.

It makes my day knowing that after all these years since I was maybe 7, Oddworld still has a faithful fanbase. To be honest, when I first tried checking for stuff about Oddworld a few years ago, I didn't expect to find to as many people as I see now :)

I won't celebrate until i read more informations or see some screenshots. I must be sure that game will be awesome. Then i will celebrate :)

The "interesting" part of the podcast is from 23th minute to the 26th minute and there's absolutely nothing new in there.
