Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty launches for Switch on October 27

Oddworld Inhabitants has set a Switch release date for the puzzle-platformer Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty. The game will launch on October 27, the company revealed today.

Here’s an overview of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty, along with a trailer:

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is a ground-up remake of the seminal puzzle-platforming adventure, Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee. Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty recreates the atmosphere of the much-beloved classic in a gorgeous HD aesthetic that caters to the modern gamer’s sensibilities. The game’s protagonist, Abe, is a hapless, clumsy schmuck. He doesn’t want to be a savior, and he never thought he could be hero. But One day he stumbles upon a ghastly plan to convert him and his coworkers into delicious meaty snacks and knows he must escape. Once free from immediate danger, he discovers he has a greater destiny and must return to free his kind from slavery. While new ‘n’ Tasty is a remake of a beloved classic, it uses none of the original assets. It is entirely rebuilt from the ground up to appeal to modern players with updated control schemes and stunning HD visuals!
