It's my understanding (some of you guys are probably much more in touch with the history than I am!) that Exoddus was not a part of the vision for the original "quintology". It was a sequel to Abe's Oddysee because that game did very well and everyone wanted a sequel.
So, AO and MO were the only two quintology games released, right?
I can tell you a few things though, without being able to confirm or deny anything (because I honestly don't know):
1. We'll make the games that we see the most demand for, whether that's a ground-up remake, a complete reworking, a previously mentioned title or a completely new game that has never been discussed. Oddworld's plans are largely informed by you guys and the wider community.
2. Nothing is "dead" and everything is on the table but we have to see that it's viable because we all quite like our jobs and want to stay in them, making great games, for a very long time!
3. Lorne has so many ideas and speaks with such excitement about potential projects on Oddworld that I honestly have to believe there's an awful lot more to come.
4. If you want something, tell us what it is. We can only do so much at a time, obviously, but if we've got a vocal community with lots and lots of people all saying "we want you to make this game" then we'd be silly to ignore that, wouldn't we?
