I didn't know about this version. Interesting!

Here.

Ok Nate, I didn't know. But the Abe you described is totally different from the games, so what about the canon ?

I think that if the films were to occur, we'd have to accept that there are multiple canons in the Oddworld universe.

I don't understand. I mean, isn't Oddworld supposed to be one cohesive universe ? Furthermore, it might confuse the people.

I think a good comparison would be the Marvel universe - there's a movie/live-action TV universe, several comic book universes, and an animated TV show universe. The same stories have been told in several, with a number of subtle and not-so-subtle differences. But each one is (retcons aside) a cohesive universe.
