Through a hub page on Nintendo’s North American website, we found out yesterday that Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is set for launch on the Wii U eShop next Thursday. Oddworld Inhabitants has since officially confirmed the news, and also says that the European release is happening on the same day.

At this time, there’s no word on pricing for PAL regions. There should be a 25 percent discount just like in North America, however.

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is finally launching on Wii U next week. According to a listing found on Nintendo’s website, you’ll be able to pick up the game through the North American eShop on February 11. Pricing is set at $14.99.

“Explore ancient ruins, dodge carnivorous beasts and avoid trigger-happy hunting parties as Abe, the original Oddworld hero in this lovingly recrafted take on the classic Abe’s Oddysee.
Once a happy floor waxer in Oddworld’s biggest meat processing plant, Abe stumbles across his boss’s secret plan to turn the factory’s slave labour force into the latest in the RuptureFarms Tasty Treats line of novelty meat snacks. Abe now has to save his own skin from the grinders even if simply escaping the flesh farm is only the start of his Oddysee.
Many dangers await Abe on his journey to discover his people’s heritage. Built from the ground up, enjoy breathtaking visuals, enhanced audio and improved, deeper gameplay as New ‘n’ Tasty reignites the original Oddworld game.”

We’ve attached some screenshots of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty to the gallery below.
