If you were playing Xbox back during the original generation, you might remember the system exclusive Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath - released in 2005.
An updated version of the sci-fi western action-adventure by Oddworld Inhabitants is now making a return to the current Xbox next week on February 11th for $19.99 USD or your regional equivalent.
"This souped-up HD version of the classic combines 12 hours of story time, plus 5+ additional hours of side missions with dramatically improved audio, improved shadow maps, and full 4K graphics at 60 fps."
You take control of Stranger - a swaggering bounty hunter who must travel across the wastelands of Western Mudos - while tracking down fugitives for bounties and dealing with both scoundrels and outlaws.
This 3D entry in the series mixed shooting, stealth, puzzle and platform elements together. Here's a bit about what our sister site Nintendo Life had to say about the game when it was released on the Switch last year:
"Despite these rough edges, Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is still a joy to play...and if you didn't experience it the first time around, it's well worth a look now."
Is this a game you would be interested in returning to on Xbox? Comment down below.

Yes! Strangers Wrath was always a favorite of mine.
A dream come true. One of my favourite games ever. Fantastic news!
My favourite oddworld game in 4k and 60fps. I'm in...
Looking forward to this. I played some of this on Vita (or was it PSP?) really enjoyed what I played but for some reasons put it down. Love Oddworld!
Loved the first 2 Oddworld games but never played this, I think due to the change in genre. Judging by the comments I'll have to give it a spin.
Oh my god I played this game so much in my childhood. This is fantastic
This is pretty cool. I was never a fan of the Oddworld series, this one is the exception.
4K/60, it's an old game, I wonder how it will run on XSS? 1440/60?
I might get this on Xbox since the game did originally appear there.
Think the headline is selling it short. Should be that it returns in 4K next week! I’m definitely interested in replaying this classic in 4K 60 FPS. Was worried it as just going to be 1080p based on the headline, lol.
Loved loved loved this title back then. I always liked Oddworld games but this one was so different, putting me in the world in a whole new way.
I loved this game so much back then, one of my favorites of its generation
@themightyant it would have been vita, I played the same version.
Strange that it was ported to every modern platform except Xbox, where it was originally born. I’m glad it’s finally coming home again.
Not played this one but I'd love a Munch's oddysee sequel
I loved this game back in the day. It didn’t really get the credit it deserved but it was truly original and creative. Looking forward to this again.
I remember this on the OG Xbox and I loved it. I’ll definitely be buying this next week and just in time for when I’ve got enough MS reward points to convert it to £10. The game will most likely be £16.74 for us in the UK going off the price difference from US $19.99 games.
