Oddworld Inhabitants is no longer a game development company; it is now an intellectual property company. That means they retain full creative control of the Oddworld universe (as well as others), and lisence their characters and stories to other developers to make films, video games, television programming: anything they want. Right now they’re trying to put this new business model into practice by partnering with Vanguard Animation to produce the (non‐Oddworld) film, Citizen Siege. Hopefully a similar situation will result in the first Oddworld film being developed.
