Q: Will Munch's Oddysee be on the PS2?
A: No. Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee is an exclusive Xbox title.
Q: Will Munch be released for the PC?
A:There are no plans to release Munch's Oddysee for the PC.
We are focusing our energy on creating the next title for the Xbox exclusively.
Q: Is there going to be a PlayStation 2 or Gamecube version of any Oddworld games?
A: Oddworld Inhabitants has no plans to create any PS2 or Gamecube games in-house. However, if a PS2 or Gamecube game concept is proposed to us by another publisher or developer we may choose to license our "world" to them for development.
Q: You say that Munch is exclusive to the Xbox yet it has been reported to be released on GameBoy Advance?
A:Yes. An adaptation of Munch's Oddysee is being developed for the GameBoy Advance. Oddworld Inhabitants will not be producing the GameBoy version.
Q: Why cancel the PS2 version completely?
A: What really tipped the scales, is we're not developing the ALIVE 2ยช engine just to run Munch but the next in the series of Oddworld games and we had to make a major technology and design decision for the franchise and our company. The reality is, making great games takes a lot of time and the investment and commitment of teams of talented people dedicated to a common vision. We felt the we were fighting an uphill battle that was compromising and would continue to compromise our vision for where Oddworld was to go in the 128bit era. With Xbox our vision would not only stay in tact but instead of focusing our people to tackle constant technology issues we could dedicate our resources to making better gaming experiences. After the trials and tribulations of working on Munch for the last 18 months, the decision, at the end of the day, wasn't a difficult one. To make the game and the foreseeable future games we want to make, Xbox is the right home for Oddworld.
