New Oddworld developer Just Add Water will be releasing a HD version of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath for the PS3 next Easter (April 2011). It will be a PlayStation Network title and marks the franchise’s first title on a PlayStation console since Oddworld: Abe’s Exoddus back in 1998. Stranger’s Wrath was released back in 2005 for the original Xbox. The remake will take the game to 720p and will feature normal mapping, self-shadowing, re-mastered dialogue, Move support and some other new secret bits.

“Since word got out that we’ve been working with Oddworld Inhabitants there have been many rumours circulating about what we’re working on,” said JAW boss Stewart Gilray. “Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is the first project in what we believe will be a long and fruitful relationship. Having the chance to update this great title and release it on PS3 is just a brilliant opportunity, not least for us, but for the fans too.”
