The classic Abe's Oddysee is returning as an HD remake, a 2D platformer with 3D physics. It'll come to Xbox Live Arcade - if Microsoft will let them.

According to Just Add Water's Lorne Lanning, Abe's Oddysee: Stranger's Wrath - which is already coming to PlayStation Network: "Abe HD is going into production. It’s basically Abe’s Oddysee being redone in a 3D physics engine as a 2D side-scrolling platformer. So the way Just Add Water wants to approach it, we thought was very smart; they are not trying to reinvent any wheels. It’s like, ‘Can we make that experience in a new engine, with new tech, in the old way?'"


However, even though Lanning wants to bring it to Xbox Live Arcade, he keeps getting oddly stonewalled: “We have Stranger all ready to go on XBLA, but the answer keeps being no. We’re still talking to them and we’re hoping to work it out."

Let us know if you're interested in returning to Oddworld.
