With the new direction of Soulstorm rewriting the original Exoddus, it's safe to assume we've branched into a new universe of Oddworld storytelling. I'd wager Munch's Oddysee will not be encorporated into this new canon, possibly paving the way for a reworked version, in the same vein as Soulstorm. It also appears that Soulstorm is not being advertised as a bonus game; rather, it is being presented as a "true sequel" to New 'n' Tasty, and a necessary continuation of the new Oddworld storyline.

My question, therefore, is concerning the status of the Quintology. Is the original outline/script relevant anymore? We all know the original plan, which was inevitably derailed due to a number of reasons. To my recollection though, there has been no mention of the Quintology since Oddworld's resurrection; no promise to see the story through to its intended finale; no word on the future of Abe's journey.

Thoughts? Are New 'n' Tasty and Soulstorm a part of the five-act Quintology, or should we devise a new designation when referring to "the reboot universe"? The term Quintology just seems far too archaic and inaccurate to use anymore.
