The first thing we ever saw about this was the GameSpy article featuring Lorne Lanning. Basically, Lorne passed on information to them that Oddworld had decided to close its game development facility in SLO, and move to Berkeley with a smaller core team. Why? So that they could reach new medias, and be able to use a different method of development, one using outsourcing.

Basically, Oddworld Inhabitants will continue to develop things. From the information I've received, and from the prior knowledge of such things, I inferred that Fangus had been shelved (just like HOO, SS, etc). Nothing official has come out yet, but I doubt we'll get a statement direct from OWI. Perhaps a gaming website, which isn't direct, nor can we completely rely on the moronic journalists to not scew the information.
