Connell, two things:

1. According to the Oddworld Encyclopedia, the idea of Sligstorm was pitched by Paul O'Connor. My point: Lanning wants to make other games (like Fangus) instead of Sligstorm (which could have been the DLC of NnT).
I don't know where you're getting this fact that "Lanning wants to make other games" from. Sligstorm is an entirely different type of project that Fangus (as you used in your example); Sligstorm is an add-on, not a full length game like Fangus would be. And I'm fairly sure the last word on Sligstorm was that they would like to revisit it in the future.

2. I mean, based on the first and only DLC so far (Alf's Escape). You ignored the fact that Abe is the playable character (and connected to the main plot). I agree with you: it could be anything. According to this idea, it could be something different than Sligstorm.
You're right; it is the only DLC ever. That's like seeing one film and assuming every single one is going to follow a similar narrative. You can't judge all DLC after only seeing one. I know that DLC feature Abe is likely, but my point is I don't think you can base any assumptions about future DLC on it, which is what you were doing. I know you agree it could be anything, but your original point was we should base our expectations on Alf's Escape, which I don't think holds up for reasons I just said.

You are correct, however Sligstorm is a known project that they have previously worked on in some small way, that fits onto the end of Exoddus, and is a mini game very similar to a DLC package. For those reasons, I'd say it's likely
