According to the official, and officially mysterious, website&#8217;s source, it&#8217;s a &#8220;<a>new project being developed by JAW Ltd and OWI<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>That would, of course, be Just Add Water, current custodians of the Oddworld brand, and Oddworld Inhabitants, creators of the Oddworld brand. Yes, it&#8217;s all Oddworlding up in here.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, it&#8217;s not the first time the name has turned up in Oddworld history. A game called Hand of Odd, described on the <a href=\"http:\/\/oddworld.wikia.com\/wiki\/Hand_of_Odd\" target=\"_blank\">Oddworld wiki<\/a> as an &#8220;action-adventure\/real time strategy game with gameplay almost identical to the 2009 game, Br\u00fctal Legend&#8221; was in development for the PS2 back in the early noughties, later rescheduled for the original Xbox, and then indefinitely postponed in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Same game? Maybe, maybe not. Br\u00fctal Legend wasn&#8217;t exactly a smash hit.<\/p>\n<p>Last we checked in with Just Add Water, they were working on an HD remixes of previous Oddworld games, Abe&#8217;s Oddysee and Munch&#8217;s Oddysee, although somebody&#8217;s already edited the studio&#8217;s Wikipedia page to put Oddworld: Hand of Odd on their project list.
