"The last time we dipped into the surreal realm of Oddworld was for Xbox launch title Munch's Oddysee, a compelling, technically impressive adventure that was exclusive to Microsoft's system.
All has been markedly quiet on the Oddworld front since then, but now developer Oddworld Inhabitants has broken the silence to speak for the first time on a new addition to the universe.
"The new game will blow away anything that came before it," writes programmer Mark Lee, in a post on the developer's forums. "It's still full of the quirky OW sense of humour but at the same time a bit of a departure story-wise from previous games. We have a killer team working on this game and it's coming together pretty fast. I am working on the animation/rendering systems at the moment - the characters in the next game will look a lot more alive."
That's all we know for now, but Xbox fans can expect to hear much more as E3 approaches."
Great Stuff.

Ah great. And yes, Jet Set Radio has been confirmed for GBA. I'd like to see Oddworld on GC, but I think I can do without it :D.

There is already a oddworld on GBA. and hopefully jet set radio will come out on it as well.

I saw a video from the developers and he wanted to keep the game Xbox exclusive because of its capabilities and possiblities with Xbox Live. The game should feature a lot of Xbox Live material and full use of the Xbox hardware. I am going to pick up Munch's Oddysee although I have completed it already because it is great fun to play. I will be keeping a close eye on the new Oddworld game as it has the potential of being a classic game.
Any word on the formats? I wouldn't mind a GBA Oddworld one bit :D.
I love Oddworld, I have played the last 3 games, Its seriously good "odd" fun :P
Oddowrld would be a great host to an online adventure game where lots of oddworld creature meet up, some gabbits, some mudockens etc and solve puzzles and do missions. Like PSO I think.
