Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Vita, Munch's Oddysee HD aiming for June

June may get a double-dose of Oddworld, if Just Add Water CEO Stewart Gilray has anything to say about it. He announced that he's aiming to release both the Vita version of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, and the HD version of Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee sometime during the month, but neither plan is set in stone yet.

File Size Limit One of the Issues Keeping Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath from the Xbox Live Arcade

Developer Just Add Water says that Microsoft's file size limit on Xbox Live Arcade games is one of the reasons its upcoming HD-revamp of Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath is currently only in the works for the PlayStation 3.

"On XBLA there is a 2 GigaByte size limit we have to adhere to," a post on the developer's website states. "Currently the title weighs in at 2.1GB and that is without any updates, so either we have to pull a miracle out of the bag with some type of amazing compression system, or ask Microsoft to increase their 2GB limit, however this limit is apparently hardware led, so please let us try and make a miracle happen."
