Paris, France & Emeryville, California – February 12, 2021 – Last night, during Epic Game Store Spring Showcase, Oddworld: Soulstorm unveiled a brand new trailer highlighting the stakes of this new adventure through the destiny of our hero, Abe. His mission consists in freeing his Mudokon peers, forced to live under the ruthless ruling of the Magog Cartel. The trailer also introduces different elements allowing Abe to achieve his mission like scavenging resources to craft weapons as well as how he can use his Mudokon followers to get through various situations. Oddworld: Soulstorm is coming this Spring, exclusively to the Epic Games Store for PC, and PlayStation®5 (PS5) System and PlayStation®4 (PS4) System for console. You can preorder the PC version right now on the Epic Game Store.

Oddworld: Soulstorm is the bigger, badder, bolder action-adventure platformer sequel of the renowned video game series, and the explosive second installment in the evolution of a revolution. You play as Abe, the reluctant Mudokon hero who inadvertently sparked an uprising and now must lead his fellow Mudokons in their fight for freedom against the Magog Cartel and the planet’s ruling power.

Abe will struggle for survival against the planet’s ruling and well-funded power. They are armed with all means of oppression, from propaganda to biological to ruthless deadly force.

You can try to learn Abe’s destiny and free over 1,000 of his followers, or fail and see the eradication of his entire species.

Ready for or not, the entire fate of the Mudokon species is in Abe’s (and your) hands in Oddworld: Soulstorm.
Explore massive cinematic scale and 2.9D environments filled with breathtaking visuals. Scavenge for supplies, craft weapons, arm your followers, solve puzzles, and safely deliver all of Abe’s 1,000 followers to freedom.
