Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!, also known as Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee – New 'n' Tasty! and stylized as New 'n' Tasty! – Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, is a 2014 cinematic platform video game developed by Just Add Water and published by Oddworld Inhabitants as a "ground-up remake" of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. The game was released in North America on 22 July 2014 and in Europe on 23 July 2014 for the PlayStation 4. The title was also released for Linux, Microsoft Windows, OS X, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and Wii U. It is set to be released for iOS.
In 2016, series creator Lorne Lanning announced at the Game Developers Conference that a follow up to Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, titled Oddworld: Soulstorm, is in development. The game is a dramatic retelling of Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus and a re-tale of the story is in development by two small Oddworld teams, one in California and one in the UK. They are in partnership with Frima Studio to develop the game.
In Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, the player controls a Mudokon named Abe. Similar to the original, the gameplay is a sidescrolling platformer with an emphasis on puzzle solving, with New 'n' Tasty reimagined in a 2.5D graphical style.
