Oddworld: Soulstorm Will Be Coming To Xbox Consoles
Microids and Oddworld Inhabitants revealed this morning Oddworld: Soulstorm will finally be headed to Xbox consoles. The game launched back in April as a PlayStation exclusive title when it came to consoles, but it was also out on PC. Now it looks like Xbox fans will get a chance to try it out on current and next-gen. The company hasn't put a release date on it yet, all we know is that it will come with all the updates and content released for it so far. For now, enjoy the trailer below!
Evolving the platforming genre by adding RPG-lite elements with player agency to play as you like, whether aggressively or passively. Pickpocket your enemies, loot lockers, sift through trash cans, and find hidden areas to acquire resources. Exchange resources at vending machines to get products that give you more agency in how you chose to conquer the game's many challenges. Acquire recipes to craft tools and weapons to use against opposing forces or solve problems. Arm your followers and watch the revolution begin.
This isn't a traditional 2D side scrolling platformer. Oddworld: Soulstorm is a 2.9D action-adventure platformer with 15 hours of gameplay, and dozens more for achievement hunters and perfectionists. Epic environments with massive scale to explore by going into the world, rather than being limited to the traditional side scrolling platformer sense. A dark storyline with a twisted sense of humor that shines a light on the ironies that exist in the human condition. As a slave to big business, a cog in the corporate machine being grinded to death, Abe tries to save them all and along the way he goes from a nobody to potentially starting a global revolution.
Can you save every single Mudokon in the game (there are more than 1,000)? Can you achieve the best ending and unlock the final two playable levels? Can you scavenge every trash can and locker, kill or safely apprehend every antagonist, find every hidden area, collect every jelly? 3+m players have had the opportunity to do it…will you be the first to do it on Xbox? Oddworld: Soulstorm has 15 levels, with two additional unlockable levels at the end of the game. There are 4 types of endings in the game, each depending on your Quarma. At the end of each individual level, you receive a Quarma score, which is based on the number of Mudokons you save. If you succeed in saving enough Mudokons throughout all the levels, you'll get one of the good endings. But beware: if your Quarma score isn't high enough, you'll get a more… dire fate!
