Well, it's finally here... November, the month of giving thanks, the launch of the Xbox and Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee! It's been a long haul, with plenty of hurdles, but now we are done! The game is complete and it's the dawn of a new era, the Xbox. Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee will be at a store near you on November 15th. If you are in Europe, you'll see us in March 2002. The office has been empty the past couple of weeks. Just a few of us here preparing for Press Tours and the big MO launch party. The production team has been on a much needed vacation. The Inhabitants would like to say a very special thanks to all our families and friends. We could not have done this game without their unconditional love and support. Whew! It's over...we hope you all enjoy the game! Power Ups to the People! Viva La Lab Rat revolution! Oddworld Needs You!
