Besides, we already know the story will be different, due to the alterations made so that AO would be a self-contained game and not a game of a film. We already anticipate the difference between Game-canon and Film-canon.
Very true. It’s also been ten years since Abe’s Oddysee was released, about the same length of time between then and the time Lorne first started writing the stories that evolved into Oddworld. That’s plenty enough time to have developed the story in ways we can’t predict. It’s also possible for him to use ideas that weren’t developed until later in OWI’s history: characters and places we wouldn’t normally associate with Abe. What I’m positive will stay true is the art, emotion, humour, quirkiness, values and message that make Oddworld stand out from anything else out there.

That and key concepts like RuptureFarms and Molluck.

Thanks so much for this Max. I think I love you.
I love you too, Jordan! What colour curtains shall we have?
