Oddworld: Citizen Siege still in development - Image 1It's been a long while since we heard anything about Oddworld Inhabitants' movie and game project, Citizen Siege. It's been two years, in fact.

Part of the reason is probably its split from its original partner, Vanguard. The studio is currently busy finalizing its Oddworld 2.0 business plan. Don't worry though, the project is still in development. Says OWI's Sherry McKenna:

Citizen Siege is a project near and dear to our hearts so while we are no longer developing it with Vanguard due to the famous 'creative differences', it is still in development.


We still care about creating games although perhaps not in the way we did in the past. We are just in the process of finalizing our new Oddworld 2.0 plan.


Unsurprisingly though, we are not given any more more details on the project other than that. At least we know it hasn't evaporated, so that's something.

For those who missed it, OWI president Lorne Lanning is now, uh, not president of OWI. It was announced yesterday that Larry Shapiro has taken his stead. Under Oddworld 2.0, Lanning will now concentrate on the creative side of production, while Shapiro will "get to deal with all the 'stuff' presidents of companies have to deal with," says McKenna.



Oddworld Inhabitants is also making a new Oddworld game:
