Honestly Abe munch and Stranger working together seems like a dream come true, Soulstorm is setting up something tropical with mullock hiding in the yaymen’s and Mullock seems like the kind of guy to put a huge bounty on Abe (Abe’s still kinda a mystery to the cartel at the end of soulstorm)
Weirdly enough, I kinda don’t want Stranger and Abe to meet up. Part of the thing that made Stranger’s wrath cool to me was that it took place on a totally different part of the continent, isolated from whatever Abe was up to. I thought it made the world feel bigger, since it was just one of possibly millions of side stories that were happening at the same time as Abe was on his quest. I’m not opposed to Abe and Stranger getting to see each other, I’m just saying I’m not a big fan of the idea. Hey, maybe they’ll make it work well!
@@3max_well376 So how about the idea of Stranger and Abe actually being fans of each other? Abe hears about a brave warrior who fights off the corrupt and cruel after coming out of nowhere something he wishes he could be. Where Stranger hears about a savior that rises up to lead his people to freedom and saves them from death, something he wishes he could have done.
Not to mention both have experience in certain areas Abe has only ever been (according to soulstorm) out in the wilderness for a short while, Munch knows more about the wilderness since he was born wild, and Stranger knows a lot more about hiding inside of towns and city’s

I personally think that the fact that stranger and abe never knew about each other was a great example of just how big and full of problems oddworld is. Like, there's an almost infinite quantity of stories or characters that you can put in that world.
Yeah, I suspect they want to introduce him to the Abe's storyline as simply a way to please fans of Stranger in future games as opposed to purely catering to the Abe stuff. It differs a lot from the original vision for the series.
@@pupbenny what about new characters that are different species along with Abe, Munch, and Stranger in a new Oddworld game similar to Super Smash Bros?
It seems like Lorne Lanning's vision for the Oddworld quintology has changed a lot. I don't think the original quintology was meant to be involved only around Abe, and I think Stranger's Wrath whole concept was made because Microsoft wanted Oddworld to have guns. Also the lack of Squeek made me kinda sad.
The idea of bringing Abe, Munch and Stranger together sound's interesting! I could imagine that Stranger would learn about the bounty on Abe and go after him to afford that surgery. But when he finally finds Abe he learns to not be afraid of who he is or something like that. Also animated shows that means more character moments between Abe, Alf and Toby!!!

Can you elaborate on how this will unite Oddworld fans when Oddworld is on a new path, very different from the original. They have ditched all the things that made the original 2 games popular, even New n Tasty was made to be a lot easier, less dark and more humorous than Odyssey. Basically ditching the formula that made Oddworld popular. Its like they dont even know themselves. The fact that they gave the game away for free to PS5 users, it already being discounted on other stores and half the fanbase bemoaning it i cant see how or even why there would be a sequel to an at best average game, especially as it took them 8 years to do a reimagine. How long is a fresh new game going to take?! I will be dead by the time the quintology is finished'. Oddworld was popular because it differentiated itself from the normal, Soulstorm is trying its very hardest to be normal (aka forgettable). Even if Exoddus was pumped out in a year, the passion and skill that team had is very, very evident. The only good thing about Soulstorm is the Abe figure i had to pay £120 for.

Who knows what the future brings, but hopefully the third next installment of the new Oddworld Quintology might be a reality one day :D Hope you will make a video talking about the cut content in Oddworld Soulstorm, @pupbenny :D keep up with your work!
I hope that's not still the plan. I mean, this is Oddworld, I don't expect a 'well, everything's fixed' ending, but tragic endings always seem to be so unsatisfying and predictable. Because really it's just going to be that Abe dies and 'life goes on'.
@@notrealnamenotatall2476 I hope it's not a tragic ending writers have a bad habit of making all the events and crap that you've gone through with the character in game or on a movie completely pointless and undo everything , I dont expect an amazing ending with fireworks coming out of abes ass but I dont want abe to die or the mudokans to fail

I havent played Soulstorm, not able to, but i have seen the cutscenes, and have showed them to others who would never really play the games. We all agree, a TV show would be amazing. One person in particular was blown away by the facial expressions during the meeting between the 3 glukkons at the brewerery (Keeping what happens vague to avoid spoilers for those who will play) So much emotion is shown by all present, including the sligs with their eyes. I would absolutely LOVE to see a TV show in that style and to explore the dark world we love that is Oddworld
The good thing in my opinion is the that he has the thought of making more games. But assets and big games like the oddworld series itself has to have something that includes money. Hopefully the Soulstorm game becomes successful and makes enough money to continue the oddworld franchise. As a real big fan of oddworld inhabitant game's I really do wish to have more games. I hope you a nice day. Goodbye - London
I'm hoping after finally finishing Soulstorm, (great game) that Abe continues his journey to the Glukkon city of Nolybab to find his mother and get the answer's he's looking for. Also no doubt Mullock will play a part as he survived..
I know people tend to dislike Munch's Oddysee more than the others, but I love it! It looks gorgeous. It has gameplay flaws, sure, but they give it so much charm. Loved it when it came out, love it now.
Soulstorm is a great game but I still like the original Exodus for a few reasons. In Soulstorm, the background looks like a 3D computer game. In the original Exodus, the background looked like realistic paintings of a creepy industrial ghetto.
I'm REALLY excited a the prospect of an Oddworld animated series. I know there's a chance it might not go through, but it is an exciting idea none the less.
not to burst any bubbles here but lorne really brings to mind the quote "a man who's vision far outstripped his ability". sounds less like something that's achievable and more like what people just want to hear
THIS ABSOLUTELY CHANGES EVERYTHING !! OH MY GOD, THIS NEWS IS PURE DYNAMITE !! I LOVE THE IDEAS AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THEY ARE IN PLANNING FOR THE QUINTOLOGY !! I LOVE THE IDEA OF A POSSIBLE ANIMATED SERIES OR EVEN IN COMICS !! IMAGINE 5 SEASONS 1ABE ESCAPE 2ABE RELEASES HIS PEOPLE 3ABE MAKES NEW FRIENDS 4ABE TOGETHER WITH HIS FRIENDS GO TO WAR 5 MOVIE (FINAL BATTLE)
I just hope we could have a proper conclusion for the Oddworld Quintology dont get me wrong I enjoy the series but I always afraid we wont get a proper ending. Since the original plan got scratch and I am not sure if the news Quintology would work
I would hate if they made Stranger's events a smaller scale thing. While I would love for Stranger to meet Abe, I would hope it would happen after Stranger's destiny has been revealed, so it's the more humble version. I always wondered what it would be like for Stranger to fight with Sligs.
I would absolutely love an animated movie/series based on the oddworld games! I have for a long time been fascinated by Oddworld ever since watching the cutscenes on UA-cam. I always thought that Oddworld worked better as movie rather than a game.
Hey man, love your videos. I know you mainly focus on lore but I think it would be very interesting to do a video on Sherry McKenna. The information about her available on the internet is pretty sparse, but Lorne has talked a lot about her role in interviews, she was critical to establishing the company and was the first person Lorne told the whole outline of the quintology story to. Apparently she really wanted to just make an Abe movie and be done with it, but Lorne convinced her with talk of "animation cycle efficiency" and how it would be good to have a non-violent video game franchise instead of another shooter. At some point after this, they got married and she became the CEO of Oddworld Inhabitants. The only real footage I can find of her talking about Oddworld is that video in the 90's where she's the vitamin lady. Their relationship has always struck me as interesting, she is the CEO of a videogame company who seems to have a pretty limited interest in video games, she just seems to love Lorne and his ideas and handles the business end, pretty competently I might add. I'm sure she's had more influence on the franchise than I know about and you might be in a position to make a good video on it, just a thought. Keep up the good work!
As much as I would like an Oddworld series, I don't want it to repeat oddysee story. We have just gotten a reboot, lets have a story from the perspective of Toby or Alf
I really am hoping and praying that Oddworld Inhabitants do get the finances to make more stories in the quintology, i really do. Maybe im in a minority but i genuinely love SoulStorm, Pros and cons accepted and im watering at the mouth to see where we could go next cuz i want to see more 💖 love you Lorne and Love ya Pupbenny! 😄
Personally, I like the Grubbs, I thought they were neat and funny. But it would be cool if the Mudokons helped Stranger accept himself. I would love if they continued stranger's story where it left off, when the old steef died and sekto got away. I wanna see Stranger and his friends go after sekto so he can finally avenge his kind.
You know what would be crazy to see In any new Oddworld project especially in better quality? Either a scene where Abe passes mullock and it's in slow motion or where one again they are face to face but different this time and they possibly talk to each other
Weird ass statement out of nowhere, but I could deadass see Oddworld working as a miniseries done with all practical effects, costuming, and puppetry, similarly to The Dark Crystal. I think the art style and character designs suit it perfectly. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, google it.)
While I like the idea of Abe, Munch and Stranger all meeting up at some point. I also want Munch and Stranger to have their own standalone games, they could do a digital webcomic like Lobotomy Corporation's Wonderlab or Nefarious's own sequel webcomic to reintroduce them prior to release and to build hype. Also it'd be interesting seeing Munch and Stranger interact, given Stranger used Fuzzles as ammunition in his weapons and Munch is rescuing them from the Vykkers. Though I can see that being changed to Stranger befriending/taming Fuzzles who act as his ammo, hence why he might have an ammo limit in-game. Cause he can only carry and feed so many. Also instead of cutting the Grubb's from Oddworld. They should be given a revamp to make them more interesting, just like the Glukkon and Mudokun redesigns. Give the Grubb's a full makeover, really lean into the Japanese/Eastern vibe they had going on in the later parts of Stranger's Wrath. With their own form of spirituality and a reverance for Steef and other powerful creatures of Oddworld? Heck they could rediscover their culture thanks to Stranger, like how Abe reintroduced the enslaved Mudokuns to their native brethren.
Stranger being part of the quintology makes more sense if you consider the theory that the true villains of oddworld are the Magog cartel's investors,the oktigi
Well it seems soulstorm has fans split down the middle with some loving it and others hating it but hopefully we get to see the quintology actually complete this time
I for one approve the idea of Munch and Stranger teaming up with Abe, maybe we could get the Albino Slig to be introduced to join in so we can have the Oddvengers. The weird heroes Oddworld may not wanted but ones they need, well at least got.
I think what would be cool if Abe and Munch were running away from some kind of danger, then they get shrouded by the threat, but then stranger and his tribe rescue Abe and Munch. they can work together to achieve their goals, abe and munch would help the stranger to stop the threat, the Stranger would help Abe and Munch get to where their going Just a thought
If Munch wasn't playable in a new game, he should be a puzzle mechanic instead, like the Death Ladders from Soulstorm. Like you would guide Munch through sewers or something and keep things from killing him so he can let you progress or finish the level
It would be fantastic to see Abe and Stranger in a future release.But adding Munch would be the trifecta cherry on top I want to see for the new quint. Only time will tell🤞 (Steeeeeef)
It could also be that Stranger teaches the Mudokons how to fight the industrialists and maybe introduce the cut RTS elements alongside it. There's also the possibility that instead of meeting Abe, Munch meets Molluck first since it seems he has a larger role to play in the games going forward.
It also seems that Molluck is more likely to be a bounty in the new Quintology. Maybe Stranger hunts him and is offered a bigger reward for hunting Abe.
If stranger will make another appearance, he needs a bad ass intro for sure.

im not too happy about the new abe centered quintology to be honest. i have nearly played through soulstorm and there is like nothing new added to the lore of oddworld. even if munch's oddysee was a lesser game it still featured the best villains and best protagonist imo in the series with many more characters. its crazy how mr lanning is so open about his games' developement and cut features even if the game just came out recently. many developers - japanese even more so - are very reserved about their games' creation. its nice to know some details but hearing about all the missing stuff makes me even more sad about the tons of still unused oddworld lore pieces. i really want the next game to come out faster with new stuff exoddus style but im not sure how well did soulstorm do financially in the as of now... also they still need to patch this out and get the physical editions running no to mention porting it to other platforms etc... lol, mentioning a possible tv series means nothing if we take into account that there were concepts made for a feature film but nothing came out of it in the past. im a bit afraid of a whole season taking place in rupture farms... soulstorm has so little story in its runtime that i constantly feel that they are chewing the same thing for far too long.
Don't want to doomsay, but Epic Store sales mean basically nothing. The service is just so miniscule compared to Steam, and seems to only get significant traffic when they are giving games away for free.
i'm going to come across as a prick, but the fact that Soulstorm is an epic exclusive will bite them a bit... though of my friend group i was the only one to notice it come out at all, which is strange since we are all big Oddworld fans.
I saw one persom say they'd love an Oddworld musical movie, i would freakin' love that. And Oddworld TV show or movie would be amazing, i need it, i need it all, Oddworld is back and i need more more more. 😂😂😂 Oh oh Oddoworld novels and comics would be amazing too, they could do so much and the possibilities are really cool to consider.
Could you maybe do a video of all the content that got cut from all the games? From soulstorm, strangers, munch, ect. I think that'd be a pretty neat video. I know you occasionally say something got this got cut from this and that game, but having them listed out would be nice
I love oddworld I hope Lorrie makes new games if he gets the money for it. I think it is just a thought or theory you can call what you want Abe and Alf, Toby and Strange meet and save Sam mudokon queen and find why she gave Abe is stitches on his mouth or save Mudokon eggs aka Their brothers and sisters or both or save all the mudokons on their planet and stops all their enemies in a epic finale battle become I want to finally save Sam and it hinted at it at the end of oddworld soulstorm cutseen.
I'd love to see Abe and Stranger finally meet. Both are characters that have survived the oppression of their own species (Stranger w/ the Steef race being almost wiped out and Abe of the Mudokons). The dynamic between them would be really cool to see. Same with Munch. A meet up with the three would be wonderful to see followed by all three fighting the industrialists. We know that the Glukkons and Oktogi are mortal enemies of all three characters.
it would be nice to have stranger and abe cross paths someday, but i hope it doesn't remove alot of older story stuff, becuase i want Oddworld to be expanded and not shrinked. its a mistake that the star wars sequels did, not enough world building
i think it’d be cool if the heroes teamed up with molluck to tackle the magog cartel and bring unity to oddworld. another cool idea is if a glukkon, molluck or not, has a pair of slig robotic legs since glukkons arms are insanely strong, so they may be able show their full physical power. just a spitball if you ever see this comment, lorne.
Really interested to see what comes next. I feel like we need an origin game. Mudos before the industrial revolution of the gluks, abe being born and lips stitched, the queens and higher beings, even the sliggies evolution and you could include munch, stranger etc.
I'd almost want to see Sligstorm go and have to do a bit with Mullock and his sligs running off to the Yaymans. I feel like they could do a lot with othering or something when relating them to the world.
Whats even cooler is if stranger and abe met, stranger would show up as the steef. Doubt hed be a bad guy, hed probably have the local gab on abe after accepting who he really is. No stranger is the game that does NOT need to be remade. Ever. Period. Redo munch. Munch was terrifible. Saying that after beating it over 10 times. Munchs gameplay was awful and i understand why. But munch should be the last remake then on to quintology
You could totally have Munch and Abe get a bounty on them just for The Stranger to take it. Have Stranger learn that Munch is the last of his kind. I can totally see Stranger helping them out after learning that. Since he can relate possibly being the last Steef
I think a big part of Stranger’s role in the future would really depend on where we at in his story. If it takes place prior to his transformation, there will be conflict between them. It’s only natural because, as you said, Abe is a wanted fugitive, and Stranger is a bounty hunter. Perhaps there’s a boss fight, and either Stranger learns about Abe’s goals and chooses to let him go because Stranger believes in his mission, or Abe manages to evade Stranger, and Stranger chooses to give on hunting Abe, and goes back to bagging outlaws, who are stupider, more dangerous, easier to catch, and less likely to weigh on his conscious. If Stranger encounters Abe after his transformation, maybe he will seek out Abe to protect him after learning about Abe’s mission, perhaps serving as his bodyguard, or going out take out other bounty hunters coming for Abe.
If you do end up making a VS matchup video between Abe and Stranger, I'd be happy to collaborate - seeing as I used to be into VS Debating and a few of the things mentioned in those communities are often not thought about by many outside it. 👍
I would love to see a remake of Munch's Oddysee but have it where Munch is a side roll, and then along the game as Munch and Abe cause Chaos, Stranger hunts down Abe and Munch because they both have bounties, but he stops hunting them when he learns about what they're doing and joins them.
...You can't even call Munch a dominant character in his own game. Yes, his name's in the title, but you spend more time controlling Abe and you focus much more on rescuing Mudokon Scrubs and Labor Eggs than you do on rescuing Fuzzles. Mudokons make up 2/3rds to 3/4s of the rescue NPC total... Munch was basically a side-character to start with.
I am very hopeful that we eventually get a Strangers Wrath 2, Munches oddysee HD remake with achievement support, perhaps a Munches oddysee 2. I love this world they have built. Maybe they should look at getting brought so they can get the funding they need.
I wish they'd do games like strangers wrath or munch's odyssey today.. you don't need to majorly update every aspect, just do something on the same scale maybe slightly larger with modern textures like soulstorm
I thought this quintology was mapped out like over two decades ago o_O and as for TV plans, I remember all the talks of an Oddworld movie back in the 90s, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Although a proper movie with visuals similar to Soulstorm cutscenes would be incredible.. but very, very expensive to produce. I can't see it happening.
Honestly the thing the original story lacked was proper closure. It always felt… open and I don’t know if that’s intended or not, but for people like us who remember it from our childhood that would be nice.
Well here's the thing, Abe's Exoddus and Stranger's Wrath didn't count towards the quintology, only Abe's Oddysee and Munch's Oddysee counted towards it, while the cancelled Squeek's Oddysee was intended to be the third part of the original quintology. Abe's Exoddus was a bonus game that acted as the second part of Abe's Oddysee while Stranger's Wrath was a spinoff game.
Well lets not bury our heads in the sand here...Soulstorm didn't sell well, how can it have? Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. If I were Lorne, i'd be terrified to look at the sales figures. Tbh i'm glad in a way, Lornes vision now seems so far from what younger, rebellious Lorne originally wanted. His decision to make Abe more prevalent in the quintology seems mainly motivated by peer pressure and marketing and just having that rebellious, ambitious spirit eroded by the reality of the industry over the years. Personally I feel Soulstorms biggest handicap was that is was far too safe in all the wrong places and in all the places it should have played it safe (like the difficulty) it went bananas
Would be nice to see a munch come back and how that tin of gabbit eggs has done well, has a family kinda thing and shows more of his life avoiding the dangers and helping the mudockens fish and be scouts, developing trust. Or for abe , munch and stranger have storys of their past (childhood) and what they have faced through their lives. Could be munch helps abe and stranger travel on a raft being pushed by gabbits across the seas to the island Mullock left to (tropical island with the sligs?). To sneak attack and take out the sligs and his new base. (I dont know much about oddworld lore but hope things I've said make sence atleast for purpose of ideas)
Honestly Abe munch and Stranger working together seems like a dream come true, Soulstorm is setting up something tropical with mullock hiding in the yaymen’s and Mullock seems like the kind of guy to put a huge bounty on Abe (Abe’s still kinda a mystery to the cartel at the end of soulstorm)
Weirdly enough, I kinda don’t want Stranger and Abe to meet up. Part of the thing that made Stranger’s wrath cool to me was that it took place on a totally different part of the continent, isolated from whatever Abe was up to.

@@3max_well376 I can agree on that, due to the lack of connections to The main oddworld games outside of small cameos and Easter eggs.

Munch's oddisey should be about river Mongo. It begins in western Mudos so Stranger, Munch and Abe could meet each other there.
It seems like Lorne Lanning's vision for the Oddworld quintology has changed a lot. I don't think the original quintology was meant to be involved only around Abe, and I think Stranger's Wrath whole concept was made because Microsoft wanted Oddworld to have guns. Also the lack of Squeek made me kinda sad.
Oddworld's sligs always had guns, which Abe could possess.
I meant that they wanted the next Oddworld game to be more of an FPS
The lack of Fangus Klot makes me sad, too. THERE'S SO MUCH POTENTIAL!

So much emotion is shown by all present, including the sligs with their eyes.
I would absolutely LOVE to see a TV show in that style and to explore the dark world we love that is Oddworld
Yeah, I think an animated series would probably be the best way for them to go!
Now that Munch and Stranger have been confirmed I wonder if Squeek will be apart of this new quintology?
I SURE HOPE SO! SAME FOR FANGUS KLOT, TOO!
@@OddMoonlight and the albino slig
@@deanastephensosborne5604 YEAH, SLIGSTORM, TOO!
The good thing in my opinion is the that he has the thought of making more games. But assets and big games like the oddworld series itself has to have something that includes money. Hopefully the Soulstorm game becomes successful and makes enough money to continue the oddworld franchise. As a real big fan of oddworld inhabitant game's I really do wish to have more games. I hope you a nice day. Goodbye - London
I'm hoping after finally finishing Soulstorm, (great game) that Abe continues his journey to the Glukkon city of Nolybab to find his mother and get the answer's he's looking for. Also no doubt Mullock will play a part as he survived..
I know people tend to dislike Munch's Oddysee more than the others, but I love it! It looks gorgeous. It has gameplay flaws, sure, but they give it so much charm. Loved it when it came out, love it now.
Soulstorm is a great game but I still like the original Exodus for a few reasons.
In Soulstorm, the background looks like a 3D computer game.
In the original Exodus, the background looked like realistic paintings of a creepy industrial ghetto.
I'm REALLY excited a the prospect of an Oddworld animated series. I know there's a chance it might not go through, but it is an exciting idea none the less.
not to burst any bubbles here but lorne really brings to mind the quote "a man who's vision far outstripped his ability". sounds less like something that's achievable and more like what people just want to hear
THIS ABSOLUTELY CHANGES EVERYTHING !! OH MY GOD, THIS NEWS IS PURE DYNAMITE !! I LOVE THE IDEAS AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THEY ARE IN PLANNING FOR THE QUINTOLOGY !! I LOVE THE IDEA OF A POSSIBLE ANIMATED SERIES OR EVEN IN COMICS !! IMAGINE 5 SEASONS
1ABE ESCAPE
2ABE RELEASES HIS PEOPLE
3ABE MAKES NEW FRIENDS
4ABE TOGETHER WITH HIS FRIENDS GO TO WAR
5 MOVIE (FINAL BATTLE)
I know there is an animatic in strangers wrath of the scene of where he gets captured and a wanted poster of Abe and Munch falls out
I just hope we could have a proper conclusion for the Oddworld Quintology dont get me wrong I enjoy the series but I always afraid we wont get a proper ending. Since the original plan got scratch and I am not sure if the news Quintology would work
I would hate if they made Stranger's events a smaller scale thing. While I would love for Stranger to meet Abe, I would hope it would happen after Stranger's destiny has been revealed, so it's the more humble version. I always wondered what it would be like for Stranger to fight with Sligs.
Stranger is small in the wiki (but taller than Abe)
I would absolutely love an animated movie/series based on the oddworld games! I have for a long time been fascinated by Oddworld ever since watching the cutscenes on UA-cam. I always thought that Oddworld worked better as movie rather than a game.
Hey man, love your videos. I know you mainly focus on lore but I think it would be very interesting to do a video on Sherry McKenna. The information about her available on the internet is pretty sparse, but Lorne has talked a lot about her role in interviews, she was critical to establishing the company and was the first person Lorne told the whole outline of the quintology story to. Apparently she really wanted to just make an Abe movie and be done with it, but Lorne convinced her with talk of "animation cycle efficiency" and how it would be good to have a non-violent video game franchise instead of another shooter. At some point after this, they got married and she became the CEO of Oddworld Inhabitants. The only real footage I can find of her talking about Oddworld is that video in the 90's where she's the vitamin lady. Their relationship has always struck me as interesting, she is the CEO of a videogame company who seems to have a pretty limited interest in video games, she just seems to love Lorne and his ideas and handles the business end, pretty competently I might add. I'm sure she's had more influence on the franchise than I know about and you might be in a position to make a good video on it, just a thought. Keep up the good work!
As much as I would like an Oddworld series, I don't want it to repeat oddysee story. We have just gotten a reboot, lets have a story from the perspective of Toby or Alf
Stranger is 9ft to Abe's 6ft so he'll look tiny ha. Hmm but I think the fact he isn't sure about finance shows it hasn't sold as well as expected.
I really am hoping and praying that Oddworld Inhabitants do get the finances to make more stories in the quintology, i really do. Maybe im in a minority but i genuinely love SoulStorm, Pros and cons accepted and im watering at the mouth to see where we could go next cuz i want to see more 💖 love you Lorne and Love ya Pupbenny! 😄
I just want them to make the brutal ballad of fangus klot.
Personally, I like the Grubbs, I thought they were neat and funny. But it would be cool if the Mudokons helped Stranger accept himself. I would love if they continued stranger's story where it left off, when the old steef died and sekto got away. I wanna see Stranger and his friends go after sekto so he can finally avenge his kind.
if they had a series that looked as good as the cutscenes they can take my nonexistent money, I'm in
You know what would be crazy to see In any new Oddworld project especially in better quality? Either a scene where Abe passes mullock and it's in slow motion or where one again they are face to face but different this time and they possibly talk to each other
Weird ass statement out of nowhere, but I could deadass see Oddworld working as a miniseries done with all practical effects, costuming, and puppetry, similarly to The Dark Crystal. I think the art style and character designs suit it perfectly. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, google it.)
Abe's gonna find his mother, because they need to know why she left them in RuptureFarms and why she gave him Stitch-Lips.
While I like the idea of Abe, Munch and Stranger all meeting up at some point. I also want Munch and Stranger to have their own standalone games, they could do a digital webcomic like Lobotomy Corporation's Wonderlab or Nefarious's own sequel webcomic to reintroduce them prior to release and to build hype. Also it'd be interesting seeing Munch and Stranger interact, given Stranger used Fuzzles as ammunition in his weapons and Munch is rescuing them from the Vykkers. Though I can see that being changed to Stranger befriending/taming Fuzzles who act as his ammo, hence why he might have an ammo limit in-game. Cause he can only carry and feed so many.
Also instead of cutting the Grubb's from Oddworld. They should be given a revamp to make them more interesting, just like the Glukkon and Mudokun redesigns. Give the Grubb's a full makeover, really lean into the Japanese/Eastern vibe they had going on in the later parts of Stranger's Wrath. With their own form of spirituality and a reverance for Steef and other powerful creatures of Oddworld? Heck they could rediscover their culture thanks to Stranger, like how Abe reintroduced the enslaved Mudokuns to their native brethren.
Stranger being part of the quintology makes more sense if you consider the theory that the true villains of oddworld are the Magog cartel's investors,the oktigi
Honestly I'm not the biggest puzzle fan but I am a big Oddworld fan so I would love to see an Oddworld show/movie.
Munch’s oddysee is my favourite
Well it seems soulstorm has fans split down the middle with some loving it and others hating it but hopefully we get to see the quintology actually complete this time
i hope so! 👍
I for one approve the idea of Munch and Stranger teaming up with Abe, maybe we could get the Albino Slig to be introduced to join in so we can have the Oddvengers. The weird heroes Oddworld may not wanted but ones they need, well at least got.
what an wonderfull idea but dont forget squeek and fangus
I think what would be cool if Abe and Munch were running away from some kind of danger, then they get shrouded by the threat, but then stranger and his tribe rescue Abe and Munch. they can work together to achieve their goals, abe and munch would help the stranger to stop the threat, the Stranger would help Abe and Munch get to where their going
Just a thought
AN AMAZING THOUGHT, THAT'S WHAT! /pc
More munch edp underwater, more stranger pls, and performance mode for soulstorm, the lights wreck my eyes thankz.
Oh an more paramites and scarabs, they are sacred.
If Munch wasn't playable in a new game, he should be a puzzle mechanic instead, like the Death Ladders from Soulstorm. Like you would guide Munch through sewers or something and keep things from killing him so he can let you progress or finish the level
the native characters in Stranger's Wrath were called Grubs
It would be fantastic to see Abe and Stranger in a future release.But adding Munch would be the trifecta cherry on top I want to see for the new quint. Only time will tell🤞
(Steeeeeef)
Whaaaaat?

It could also be that Stranger teaches the Mudokons how to fight the industrialists and maybe introduce the cut RTS elements alongside it. There's also the possibility that instead of meeting Abe, Munch meets Molluck first since it seems he has a larger role to play in the games going forward.
It also seems that Molluck is more likely to be a bounty in the new Quintology. Maybe Stranger hunts him and is offered a bigger reward for hunting Abe.
Bobby told Lorne not to make a RTS (real-time strategy) game since the genre was dying. #HandOfOdd
I must buy a copy of soulstorm now
Ah yes, Legendary, Limitless, Luscious Lorne Lanning
Really excited where they go from here
It'll be really interesting to find out!
If stranger will make another appearance, he needs a bad ass intro for sure.
im not too happy about the new abe centered quintology to be honest. i have nearly played through soulstorm and there is like nothing new added to the lore of oddworld. even if munch's oddysee was a lesser game it still featured the best villains and best protagonist imo in the series with many more characters.
its crazy how mr lanning is so open about his games' developement and cut features even if the game just came out recently. many developers - japanese even more so - are very reserved about their games' creation. its nice to know some details but hearing about all the missing stuff makes me even more sad about the tons of still unused oddworld lore pieces.
i really want the next game to come out faster with new stuff exoddus style but im not sure how well did soulstorm do financially in the as of now... also they still need to patch this out and get the physical editions running no to mention porting it to other platforms etc...
lol, mentioning a possible tv series means nothing if we take into account that there were concepts made for a feature film but nothing came out of it in the past. im a bit afraid of a whole season taking place in rupture farms... soulstorm has so little story in its runtime that i constantly feel that they are chewing the same thing for far too long.
Don't want to doomsay, but Epic Store sales mean basically nothing. The service is just so miniscule compared to Steam, and seems to only get significant traffic when they are giving games away for free.
i'm going to come across as a prick, but the fact that Soulstorm is an epic exclusive will bite them a bit... though of my friend group i was the only one to notice it come out at all, which is strange since we are all big Oddworld fans.
@yiy isn't there also an xbox version as well?
Oddworld sellouts.
Me: TAKE MY MONEY! I want this to happen!!!!
I can't wait to see more Oddworld games in the future. I also can't wait to see the sequel for the next Oddworld game ^_^
I saw one persom say they'd love an Oddworld musical movie, i would freakin' love that. And Oddworld TV show or movie would be amazing, i need it, i need it all, Oddworld is back and i need more more more. 😂😂😂
Oh oh Oddoworld novels and comics would be amazing too, they could do so much and the possibilities are really cool to consider.
Oddworld The Musical
It is awesome knowing that munch and stranger is to the new series, and it really awesome knowing that stranger is now canon.
Could you maybe do a video of all the content that got cut from all the games? From soulstorm, strangers, munch, ect. I think that'd be a pretty neat video. I know you occasionally say something got this got cut from this and that game, but having them listed out would be nice
Fingers are crossed. Hopefully they release a game about Fangus.
I just really hope we get squeak.
Maybe one day...
(I genuinely really hope they do all these projects and etc especially a comic or animated series)
I love oddworld I hope Lorrie makes new games if he gets the money for it. I think it is just a thought or theory you can call what you want Abe and Alf, Toby and Strange meet and save Sam mudokon queen and find why she gave Abe is stitches on his mouth or save Mudokon eggs aka Their brothers and sisters or both or save all the mudokons on their planet and stops all their enemies in a epic finale battle become I want to finally save Sam and it hinted at it at the end of oddworld soulstorm cutseen.
I would love to see an animated series of this world. Be it 2d or 3d i feel it would be fantastic
Agreed!
TV series we want!
I think pubpenny would be a great voice actor, especially when you talk with an American accident.
*accent, LadyMecha, *accent.
strangers wrath was my favorite game... id love a sequel
well while i felt Abe exodus was superior to soulstorm in everyway, i still want to see the future of odd world i love the universe and want more
I'd love to see Abe and Stranger finally meet. Both are characters that have survived the oppression of their own species (Stranger w/ the Steef race being almost wiped out and Abe of the Mudokons). The dynamic between them would be really cool to see. Same with Munch. A meet up with the three would be wonderful to see followed by all three fighting the industrialists. We know that the Glukkons and Oktogi are mortal enemies of all three characters.
Also any one else find it weird in Munch’s oddyssey you start as Abe and the final level you don’t even play as munch just Abe?
An animated show would be so boss!
it would be nice to have stranger and abe cross paths someday, but i hope it doesn't remove alot of older story stuff, becuase i want Oddworld to be expanded and not shrinked. its a mistake that the star wars sequels did, not enough world building
i think it’d be cool if the heroes teamed up with molluck to tackle the magog cartel and bring unity to oddworld. another cool idea is if a glukkon, molluck or not, has a pair of slig robotic legs since glukkons arms are insanely strong, so they may be able show their full physical power. just a spitball if you ever see this comment, lorne.
Oddworld series, count me in. Rupture farms traumatized me as a child and still gives me shivers as a grown man...
Really interested to see what comes next. I feel like we need an origin game. Mudos before the industrial revolution of the gluks, abe being born and lips stitched, the queens and higher beings, even the sliggies evolution and you could include munch, stranger etc.
I'd almost want to see Sligstorm go and have to do a bit with Mullock and his sligs running off to the Yaymans. I feel like they could do a lot with othering or something when relating them to the world.
I was just looking at your vids and now you make another
Ha, good timing!
Tv show/animated series idea 11/10
Agreed! I think it'd give them way more control.
more strangers wrath now that sounds amazing
Whats even cooler is if stranger and abe met, stranger would show up as the steef. Doubt hed be a bad guy, hed probably have the local gab on abe after accepting who he really is.
No stranger is the game that does NOT need to be remade. Ever. Period.
Redo munch. Munch was terrifible. Saying that after beating it over 10 times. Munchs gameplay was awful and i understand why. But munch should be the last remake then on to quintology
Two Years later and no news?
3 years now... :(
You could totally have Munch and Abe get a bounty on them just for The Stranger to take it. Have Stranger learn that Munch is the last of his kind. I can totally see Stranger helping them out after learning that. Since he can relate possibly being the last Steef
Ooh, that's really good! That would be an amazing storyline.
I think a big part of Stranger’s role in the future would really depend on where we at in his story. If it takes place prior to his transformation, there will be conflict between them. It’s only natural because, as you said, Abe is a wanted fugitive, and Stranger is a bounty hunter. Perhaps there’s a boss fight, and either Stranger learns about Abe’s goals and chooses to let him go because Stranger believes in his mission, or Abe manages to evade Stranger, and Stranger chooses to give on hunting Abe, and goes back to bagging outlaws, who are stupider, more dangerous, easier to catch, and less likely to weigh on his conscious.
If Stranger encounters Abe after his transformation, maybe he will seek out Abe to protect him after learning about Abe’s mission, perhaps serving as his bodyguard, or going out take out other bounty hunters coming for Abe.
If you do end up making a VS matchup video between Abe and Stranger, I'd be happy to collaborate - seeing as I used to be into VS Debating and a few of the things mentioned in those communities are often not thought about by many outside it. 👍
I would love to see a remake of Munch's Oddysee but have it where Munch is a side roll, and then along the game as Munch and Abe cause Chaos, Stranger hunts down Abe and Munch because they both have bounties, but he stops hunting them when he learns about what they're doing and joins them.
Odyssey world is work of art … it’s sad if there’s no new game …
by the end of strangers wrath he was no longer a bounty hunter
...You can't even call Munch a dominant character in his own game. Yes, his name's in the title, but you spend more time controlling Abe and you focus much more on rescuing Mudokon Scrubs and Labor Eggs than you do on rescuing Fuzzles. Mudokons make up 2/3rds to 3/4s of the rescue NPC total... Munch was basically a side-character to start with.
5:15 this is a running theme. im not being optimistic. every game he always says this
I am very hopeful that we eventually get a Strangers Wrath 2, Munches oddysee HD remake with achievement support, perhaps a Munches oddysee 2. I love this world they have built. Maybe they should look at getting brought so they can get the funding they need.
I for one would love an Oddworld TTRPG, as someone who sucks at platforming games
I wish they'd do games like strangers wrath or munch's odyssey today.. you don't need to majorly update every aspect, just do something on the same scale maybe slightly larger with modern textures like soulstorm
A DRAGON BALL LOOLL HAHAHAHA!!! 😆😂😁😄😃😅😬 ROFL
@@andreagomesgoncalves4213 ? Oh you're laughing because I said "I wish" and have a dragon ball picture? good one lol
I thought this quintology was mapped out like over two decades ago o_O and as for TV plans, I remember all the talks of an Oddworld movie back in the 90s, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Although a proper movie with visuals similar to Soulstorm cutscenes would be incredible.. but very, very expensive to produce. I can't see it happening.
Great video pupbenny, well done.
Thank you!
Honestly the thing the original story lacked was proper closure. It always felt… open and I don’t know if that’s intended or not, but for people like us who remember it from our childhood that would be nice.
That's simply because Exodus and Oddyssey were never intended to be the end to Abe's story.
What was the old quintology? Doesn't that mean 5? I only saw 4 games before the remakes were made.
Well here's the thing, Abe's Exoddus and Stranger's Wrath didn't count towards the quintology, only Abe's Oddysee and Munch's Oddysee counted towards it, while the cancelled Squeek's Oddysee was intended to be the third part of the original quintology. Abe's Exoddus was a bonus game that acted as the second part of Abe's Oddysee while Stranger's Wrath was a spinoff game.
Well lets not bury our heads in the sand here...Soulstorm didn't sell well, how can it have? Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. If I were Lorne, i'd be terrified to look at the sales figures.
Tbh i'm glad in a way, Lornes vision now seems so far from what younger, rebellious Lorne originally wanted. His decision to make Abe more prevalent in the quintology seems mainly motivated by peer pressure and marketing and just having that rebellious, ambitious spirit eroded by the reality of the industry over the years.
Personally I feel Soulstorms biggest handicap was that is was far too safe in all the wrong places and in all the places it should have played it safe (like the difficulty) it went bananas
It didn't sale well? Man..
This time on Death Battle! It's Stranger versus Abe!
Would be nice to see a munch come back and how that tin of gabbit eggs has done well, has a family kinda thing and shows more of his life avoiding the dangers and helping the mudockens fish and be scouts, developing trust.
Or for abe , munch and stranger have storys of their past (childhood) and what they have faced through their lives.
Could be munch helps abe and stranger travel on a raft being pushed by gabbits across the seas to the island Mullock left to (tropical island with the sligs?). To sneak attack and take out the sligs and his new base.
(I dont know much about oddworld lore but hope things I've said make sence atleast for purpose of ideas)
I want to host the oddworld TV series.
Speaking as a comic fan: Sam Keith should do an Oddworld comic project. His visual style is perfect for the universe
Um, that might be difficult considering he's, y'know, dead... EDIT: Oh wait, wrong Sam Keith, sorry
@@MangaBottle Yep I misspelt his name, Kieth not Keith. My bad
@@polaris_draws I hope at least you got a good chuckle from my ignorance lol
