Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee comes to Switch this May

Oddworld Inhabitants and Microids have announced that Munch’s Oddysee, the first game in the series to not star Abe in the title role, will release for Nintendo Switch on May 14, at least on the eShop, the retail release is happening later in the year.

The game was originally released back on the Xbox, the first Xbox and had you playing as a Gabbit named Munch, the hero of the Oddest Oddysee of all. Munch’s luck is about to change – for the worse.

How would you feel if you broke your leg in a scrab trap, were abducted by soulless scientists, had an alien device implanted in your skull, and found out your race had been hunted to extinction?

Due to the rich variety of consumer products derived from the Gabbit species, their legacy has nearly come to its end. For the amphibious Gabbit, there is only one lonely individual that survives. However, it will not be spotted where one might typically find such a Gabbit. This one is currently an entrapped test subject within the horrible testing facility known as Vykkers Labs. It is up to you to help guide Munch in his efforts to rescue fellow test creatures. These critters will be forever loyal to Munch and in turn enable his escape.
