Oddworld: Soulstorm

Oddworld: Soulstorm coming to PlayStation on April 6

The long wait for Oddworld: Soulstorm is over soon, as Oddworld Inhabitants said the game is coming April 6 on the PlayStation platform. CEO Lorne Lanning made the announcement at its State of Play online event today.

The game is looking much better in terms of rich environments and characters. The game is a reimagining of the 1998 title Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus, and I got a first look at the game way back in May 2019 at Oddworld Inhabitants in Emeryville, California. But today, Lanning mentioned for the first time that the game will have haptic feedback from Sony’s DualSense wireless controller, which will enable you to feel the heartbeat of the main character.
