Following on from the critically acclaimed and much loved PlayStation 4 and Steam releases of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty - Oddworld Inhabitants Inc are excited to finally announce that the game has landed for Xbox One and is out now.

Available from the Xbox Games Store in many territories including Europe, North and South America for €19.99, £14.99 and $19.99.

This release celebrates the first outing of an Oddworld game on Xbox since Stranger's Wrath in 2005, New 'n' Tasty is a ground-up remake of the much-loved original Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, developed by Just Add Water (Development) Ltd.

“We’re all really proud of what we’ve accomplished with Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty - the response from gamers and critics alike has been overwhelmingly positive. Abe is a widely loved character, and now Xbox One owners can experience the game too," Said Lorne Lanning, President of Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc.

As well as full 1080p resolution visuals, Xbox One gamers will be able to begin their New ‘n’ Tasty journey after downloading just 50% of the game. Optional ‘old school’ control settings will make fans of the original game feel right at home.

A cinematic platform adventure, New 'n' Tasty tells the tale of Abe, a hapless Mudokon who learns that his fellow meat factory co-workers are to be the main ingredients in the company's next line of tasty treats.

Abe must escape RuptureFarms and beyond, liberating as many of his fellow workers as he can. Along the way, he'll learn the secrets of his civilization and journey across perilous lands filled with dangerous creatures and lethal traps before returning to the sinister meat factory to put right the injustices faced by his long suffering species.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty includes art direction from the original Abe's Oddysee team, music from series staple Michael Bross and a whole host of tweaks, improvements and brand new areas throughout, whilst remaining true to the game fans have loved since the original PlayStation®.
