The Oddworld Quintology was from the start a five-part story, each part introducing a new character that sides with Abe. Munch was the second part, Squeek the third. That's why only the two Oddysee titles are so-called ‘anchor’ titles within the Quintology.
To be a pedant, SligStorm was never announced, and Hand of Odd, Habitales, and Fearietales were announced over five years before OWI decided to stop producing games in-house. A lustrum is plenty of time to change your mind.
My understanding is that the Habitales and Fearietales were two sister series, to be produced alongside the Quintology.
