If the next game if Oddworld 4, does that mean we e nearing the end of the Quintology?
No, absolutely not! Oddworld 4 is so-called merely because it is the fourth game to be release by OWI, following AO, AE and MO. It is not part of the Oddworld Quintology, and so should not be used to tally up numbers. However, it does run concurrent to the Quintology, so characters, places and events in this game may significantly affect what we see in future Quintology games. For the record, we have only seen part of the second chapter of the Oddworld Quintology, namely Munch’s Oddysee, which will, if Lorne’s aspirations remain intact, have several bonus games. The third chapter in the Oddworld Quintology will not start until Squeek’s Oddysee.
