Oddworld 4 is the next game to be released by Oddworld Inhabitants, featuring a character we suspect will be called The Stranger. He's a Steef, and by trade works as a bounty hunter, but he's apparently in trouble with a couple of poachers, which you can see in the Spectrum 10 image. It also appears that The Stranger will have the ability to alter between his natural centaur-like physique, and his disguised humanoid form.

The game itself will be much more open-ended than previous games, relying more on exploration more than stealth or jumping. Interestingly, it will also incorporate aspects of First-Person Shooting, which is sometimes that's caused a bit of contraversy, but I don't know why, especially when there are far more valid points to get concerned about, like the uninventive character design. Anyway, it's almost definitely destined to be a great game. Oh, and did I mention it's going to be a Western?
