An Oddworld game with a female protagonist?

It only really occurred to me recently how there are basically no female characters in the Oddworld series. I know their role in the narrative is mainly to reproduce etc., but do you think there could ever be an Oddworld game with a female lead character? I think it fits the Oddworld game design quite well in a very basic way; an outsider kind of character triumphing in some way. Also, given the current climate of movies featuring strong female leads (E.G Star Wars) would the time be right? Or do you think it could face possible backlash for just being a "Mary Sue" type of affair that some seem to brand this media. (Not myself - and for the record I loved TFA)

Your thoughts?

(Also please note I don't mean from a financial standpoint, or where OWI are at this point in time with their company, I.E I know it's not feasible for them to be bringing out new IP, just theoretically if they could.)
