Oddworld fans will soon be able to grab all three games in a single package for Nintendo Switch as Publisher Microids announced Oddworld Collection.
An European Nintendo Switch physical release that will contain Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee, and Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath on a single cartridge. The package will launch on 27 May 2021.
About Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty
The first of the three titles is Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, a ground-up remake of the original 1997 PlayStation release Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee. New ‘n’ Tasty sees heroic Mudokan Abe begin his rebellious push back against the nefarious, capitalistic Glukkons, who intend to turn both Abe and his people into intergalactic foodstuffs for galaxy-wide distribution. This first series entry introduced players to Oddworld’s bizarre universe, as well as its non-confrontational, puzzle-solving, micro-management gameplay.
About Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee
The second title featured in Oddworld Collection is 2001’s Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee, which sees Munch, a Gabbit hunted to near-extinction, and his efforts to free himself and the few remaining Gabbits from a floating research laboratory overseen by a cruel race known as Vykkers. Munch’s Oddysee saw the action transition from 2.5D to 3D, as Munch, (with an assist from Abe), picks his way through the laboratory in an effort to bring down the Vykkers from within.
About Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath
And the last addition to the collection is 2005’s Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. This western-themed title takes a wide side-step from its predecessors, embracing a dual third-and-first-person shooter gameplay while still retaining some of the platform and puzzle action of its brethren. As “The Stranger,” players track and taking down wanted varmints, while exploring a wide variety of locales from the Oddworld universe.
Currently, there are no listings for a North American release of this package.
