Studio Moji? Studio Microids and the publisher Oddworld Inhabitants have announced that the adventure platformer Oddworld: Soulstorm is headed to Nintendo Switch. On the hybrid console, the game will arrive as the Oddtimized Edition, though a specific release date remains to be confirmed.
In addition, two further versions are planned: Limited Oddition and Collector’s Oddition. The standard edition will come in a metal case with 24 cartridge slots and three illustrated photo cards. The Collector’s Oddition ups the ante with a richer, more expansive set for fans and collectors alike.
The lineup includes:
- Standard Edition of Oddworld: Soulstorm for Nintendo Switch;
- metal packaging with 24 cartridge slots;
- three illustrated cards;
- Abe silver figurine standing 22 cm tall;
- a 160-page art book;
- an exclusive themed keychain;
- a set of stickers;
- Abe’s arm tattoo.
The game follows Mudokon Abe, who toils at the RuptureFarms meat processing plant. Hearing rumors that his kin might soon be processed for food, he flees and sparks a riot, turning a grim facility into a rebellion worth watching. This premise places Soulstorm squarely within the series’ signature blend of dark humor, social commentary, and challenging platforming action.
The title previously shipped on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. A thoughtful critique and hands-on impressions can be found in reviews, while fans will be eager to see how the Switch version preserves the game’s art direction and fluid typical movement while leveraging the console’s portable versatility. In broader entertainment news, there is growing interest in cross‑platform nostalgia and new hardware releases that keep classic franchises relevant across generations. Keanu Reeves, for example, recently made headlines for public comments about Batman, illustrating how franchises and personalities continually intersect with gaming culture. [VG Times]
