Munch will not be in Soulstorm. The two games—Soulstorm and Munch's Oddysee—might as well be in different universes at this point. Munch needs to be reintroduced into the new universe before (and if) he has an important role to play.

Stranger won't be there either. He's on the other side of Mudos, and busy looking after his Grubbs. I wouldn't expect Stranger (or Fangus) to ever have a role within Abe's story. Oddworld is huge, and I'd imagine Lanning would like to maintain that illusion, which is why Stranger only had a fleeting connection to the Abe games, via fuzzles, the Octigi family, a single vykker, and Mudokon Pops as well as slogs in the remake.

It's classic world-building: Establish two or more independent storylines that run concurrently in the same universe, and suddenly you have a very fictional world evolve into a very tenable and complex world. The moment Stranger crosses over into the Abe games, however, is the moment the world feels a little bit smaller, a little less real.
