# Heroic Platform Games 'Oddworld: Soulstorm' is a Continuation of 2014's 'Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!' By Riley von Niessen | Published 2020-11-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oddworld References: [oddworld](http://www.oddworld.com/soulstorm/) 'Oddworld: Soulstorm' is the latest release from Oddworld Inhabitants, an American video game developer and publisher that previously launched 'Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!' back in 2014, which Soulstorm continues the story of. The new release is also said to reimagine the developer's first release, 1998's 'Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus.' Despite the inspiration behind the game, Soulstorm boasts a fresh narrative that can be enjoyed by both Oddworld enthusiasts and gamers who are unfamiliar with the series. With new mechanics and impressive visuals, the game provides a cinematic experience that's sure to reel gamers in as they play as Abe, who must save his fellow mudokons. Oddworld: Soulstorm will be available exclusively on [PlayStation 5](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lost-soul-aside), [PlayStation 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-of-paradise), Xbox One, and [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hifi-rush-game) Windows.
