Stewart Gilray to unveil Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD at GameCityNights

Widely regarded as the best-looking game to grace the Xbox, fans of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath can rejoice that the long overdue update is complete and will be unveiled at Episode 4 of GameCityNights by Stewart Gilray, CEO of Just Add Water, the team responsible for reinvigorating the last Oddworld title.

From 6pm, Gilray will deliver this month’s Frontend section, delving into the life of a studio head, from his early beginnings to the daily challenge of leading a team of talented developers, and reassuring a vociferous fan base their beloved franchise is in safe hands.

The main event of the evening follows at 8pm as Gilray presents the moment fans have been waiting more than six years for; Stranger’s Wrath with updated, HD visuals. Charting the process of adding shiny bells and whistles to an already brilliant looking game, fans will see the progression from start to finish.

In a distinctly Orwellian moment, Oddworld creator Lorne Lanning will be the eye-in-the-sky as he casts a glance over his original creation as this month’s ‘From the Desk of’ guest, as well as discussing the series’ past, present and future.
