Oddworld: Soulstorm, the long-awaitedremake ofOddworld: Exoddus, is the latest game to become an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC. In a post on theofficialOddworldTwitter account, Lorne Lanning (president of developer Oddworld Inhabitants) wrote, “Soulstormis our most ambitious game ever and we are committed to creating a great game that meets the highest level of quality. But to create the version ofSoulstormwe want, and you deserve, we needed additional financial assistance.”
To that end, Abe’s return will be coming to Epic’s storefront when it launches next year. While that will likely be a contentious decision for some, it’s likely thatSoulstormwould end up delayed again without Epic’s backing. Considering how many times it has been delayed before, I’m surprised the game wasn’t outright canceled by this point.
