The Oddworld universe is to be explored further, with series creator Lorne Lanning recently confirming reports that a new title is being planned.

Maxis co-founder Jeff Braun revealed he was working with Lanning's Oddworld Inhabitants on a new game, stating in a recent talk at a Canadian University that it would harness a cinematic scale that would put it on par with CGI films. Lanning today confirmed the title's existence to gamesindustry.biz, though would not be drawn to reveal further details. Don't be expecting the game anytime soon, however – in his talk, Braun stated that the game could be 'years' down the line.

Oddworld games have enjoyed a consistently high critical reception, with the last installment coming in the shape of Oddworld: Strangers Wrath, a well received first person shooter that launched on the original Xbox in January 2005.
