The classic is returning.
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee

On August 25 in the United States (27th in EU), Oddworld Inhabitants and Microids will release a physical version of the classic Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. It will hit retail shelves across the United States and Europe. Why? Outside of there being a new Oddworld game coming, there really doesn't need to be another reason, right?

By the way, there's a new Oddworld game coming. It's called Oddworld Soulstorm and it had a debut trailer a couple of weeks back.

The game is currently available for the Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch. This physical release will include the following items:
  • The game Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee
  • An exclusive limited box and a lenticular with a unique design
  • A unique keychain imprint of Munch's foot
  • A complete set of limited-edition stickers representing Abe, Munch, the famous can and more…
For those of you who, like me, do not know about the story in Munch's Oddysee, the press release includes a generous overview for your reading pleasure. You can find that below the trailer.


The story begins with you playing as a Gabbit named Munch, the hero of the Oddest Oddysee of all. Munch’s luck is about to change – for the worse.

How would you feel if you broke your leg in a scrab trap, were abducted by soulless scientists, had an alien device implanted in your skull, and found out your race had been hunted to extinction?

Due to the rich variety of consumer products derived from the Gabbit species, their legacy has nearly come to its end. For the amphibious Gabbit, there is only one lonely individual that survives. However, it will not be spotted where one might typically find such a Gabbit. This one is currently an entrapped test subject within the horrible animal testing facility known as Vykkers Labs. It is up to you to help guide Munch in his efforts to rescue fellow test creatures. These critters will be forever loyal to Munch and in turn enable his escape.

Once free, Munch teams up with Abe and together they are guided by the wisdom of the Almighty Raisin. They are informed as to how to accomplish their goals, but in order to do so, they must work together. For Munch, his dream is to bring back his species from the brink of extinction. For Abe, it is to rescue his Mudokon buddies.

You can “switch” between Munch and Abe depending on the situation. Using special psychic powers, cool power-ups, and other special abilities to deliver payback to the Vykkers, Abe and Munch set out to reclaim the last gabbit eggs on Oddworld, which have been packaged in a can of gabbiar.
