Oddboxx released on Steam with 50 percent discount promotion

21 December 2010

Oddworld Inhabitants has released the long-awaited Oddboxx through Steam’s digital download service. The Oddboxx will be on sale for 50% off its US$24.99 marked price, as part of Steam’s holiday promotion, coming in at US$12.49 (±R85).

The Oddboxx contains the first four critically-acclaimed and award winning games from Oddworld Inhabitants, including the previous PC releases Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exoddus, and the new-to-PC platforms Munch’s Oddysee and Stranger’s Wrath.

The games can also be bought separately. Later this week the titles will also be made available at Direct2Drive, Stardock, Amazon and GamersGate.

While the versions of Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exoddus are the presently-existing released PC games, the ports of Munch’s Oddysee and Stranger’s Wrath will contain some enhancements from their Xbox versions:

Munch’s Oddysee

•    Runs at 1024×768 at a steady 60fps.
•    Keyboard/mouse controls
•    Joypad controls
•    Steam Achievements

Stranger’s Wrath

•    Supports multiple resolutions from 800×600 up to 1600×1200
•    Keyboard/mouse controls
•    Joypad controls
•    Re-mastered audio
•    Updated UI with better quality texturing
•    Steam Achievements

Stranger’s Wrath will receive additional enhancements in 2011 that will be taken from the forthcoming upgraded PSN version. This will included upgraded models, rendering, brand new UI system and some extra surprises to be announced later.

Finally, www.Oddworld.com has been updated with a free download of a special ten-track promo to celebrate the Oddboxx, featuring music from the Japan-only Abe’s Oddysee soundtrack, the limited release Stranger’s Wrath soundtrack, and the ‘didn’t-even-get-released’ Munch’s Oddysee soundtrack.
