Oddworld: Soulstorm for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S ESRB Rating

A new Oddworld: Soulstorm for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S ESRB rating has been spotted, suggesting the game is getting ported to Xbox consoles.

Here’s the Oddworld: Soulstorm for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S ESRB rating (via @joey_s_banes) description:


This is an adventure-platformer in which players assume the role of a character trying to save his people from an evil force. From a mostly side-scrolling perspective (i.e., 2.9D), players traverse platform environments, solve puzzles, and engage in various combat tasks (e.g., mind-controlling guards to shoot at one another, using characters to attack enemies). Enemy guards use missiles and machine guns to attack players and unarmed characters attempting to flee. Combat is highlighted by cries of pain, gunfire, and explosions; missiles sometimes cause enemies to explode into jibs or small chunks of flesh. A handful of cutscenes depict characters with bloody gunshot wounds. During the course of the game, a character is frequently depicted smoking a cigar. The word “sh*t” appears in the dialogue.

Oddworld: Soulstorm was originally released for Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store), PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

Abe’s epic story explodes in this all new adventure

Oddworld: Soulstorm is an explosive action adventure game complete with crafting, scavenging, platforming, and sneaking. It’s the story of an impossible flight against an opposing force that will use every means at their well-funded disposal, from propaganda to brutal force to deadly violence, to stop Abe and the uprising.

Whether he is ready for it or not, the entire fate of the Mudokon species is in Abe’s (and your) hands. Accept his destiny and galvanize societal change, or fail and see his entire race eradicated, the choice is in your hands.

Explore massive cinematic scale and 2.9D environments filled with breathtaking visuals. Scavenge for supplies, craft weapons, solve puzzles, and safely deliver all of your followers to freedom.

Oddworld: Soulstorm Features

  • Action Adventure Platforming: Evolving the platforming genre by adding RPG-lite elements with player agency to play as they like, whether aggressively or passively.
  • Narrative: A dark storyline with a twisted sense of humor that shines a light on the ironies that exist in the human condition.
  • 2.9D: Epic environments with massive scale to explore by going into the world, rather than being limited to the traditional side scrolling platformer sense.
  • Quarma: Quarma is a real time feedback feature that reflects your actions in the game and will influence Abe, his followers, his abilities, and your score throughout the game.
  • Scavenger’s Economy: Pickpocket enemies, loot lockers, sift through trash cans to acquire resources. Exchange them at vending machines to get products that give you more agency in how you chose to conquer the game’s many challenges.
  • Crafting: Use scavenged resources and vending machine products to craft items to use as weapons or tools against characters and obstacles.
  • Strength in Numbers: The more followers you save, the stronger the uprising becomes. Gift crafted items to followers. It’s up to you to decide whether they will be aggressive or passive.
  • Gameplay: Intense action platforming meets stealth and platform puzzling. Choose whether to burn it down, blow it up or simply try to sneak around it – but beware the deadly environments and enemies at every turn.
  • Leaderboards: All levels offer a tallying system, leaderboards, achievements, and badges.
