UK studio secures Oddworld franchise

UK firm Just Add Water has revealed that it is working on several multiplatform titles with the ‘Oddworld Pentalogy’ studio Oddworld Inhabitants.

In a statement made on the company’s website, it states work has been ongoing since discussions began in June 2009, and that multiple projects are now being developed – the details of which will be released ‘over the coming weeks and months’.

“To work with the team at Oddworld has been amazing; being able to tap the minds of Lorne Lanning, Sherry McKenna and others has been fantastic,” said Just Add Water MD Stewart Gilray.

“It’s almost symbiotic in that when something moves forward on any of the projects we just start chatting about new items, or what if we do this. We’re all extremely excited to breathe life into the Oddworld universe and indeed to let it breathe life into us.”
