Oddworld Inhabitants have revealed a new trailer for Oddworld: Soulstorm, alongside confirming the game for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
From the PlayStation Blog and press release (via Games Press) we know the game continues where Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty! ended. Abe is now a hero to the Mudokon people, sparking the beginnings of revolution. However, “the well-funded and powerful opposition is increasingly rising against him albeit in devious and disinforming ways.”
Abe uncovers “a terrifying machination, one that threatens to annihilate any hope of his people’s potential freedom.” Soulstorm is about how Abe’s “transformation” can affect others, and inspire them to help him in his journey. Oddworld Inhabitants Co-Founder Lorne Lanning explains further.
“Changes start small and grow out of desperation as well as naivety, for if we understood how powerful and sneaky the forces against change can truly be and how they will fight every possible form of uprising in every inconceivable way…we would probably never have the courage to join the fight in the first place. And this is certainly true for Abe, for had he any idea how intense things would become, how much is truly at stake, and the horrible secrets he would learn…he likely would never have found the courage to escape in the first place. But now that he is in too deep with nowhere else to go, he must find the power within himself to achieve the impossible.”
While keeping the core gameplay from past titles, the game also expands with new features such as the Scavenger’s Economy System, and crafting where players can give items to their followers.
While it promises to be 10+ hours, the game will also feature leaderboards, trophies, and badges. On PlayStation 5, the game will use 3D audio.
