Veteran game designer Lorne Lanning has revealed to the PlayStation blog that a number of classic Oddworld titles will very shortly be released on the PlayStation Network.

Lanning tells us that Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Oddworld: Abe's Exodus will hit the PlayStation Store this Thursday, costing 9.99 USD each.

"We couldn't have been more thrilled when we learned that the PlayStation Network was willing to offer our classic Abe games to an entirely new generation of gamers," beams the game maker.

"Finally, gamers who never got the chance to meet and play him when he first came out on the system, will now get that chance to meet the guy who graced many magazine covers and proved the unlikely hero that captured people's hearts."

Munch's Odyssey and Stranger's Wrath could also be delivered in digital form in the future, by the sound of things.
