Oddworld: The Lost Archives

Oddworld: The Lost Archives was a social media series posted by Oddworld Inhabitants on Instagram from 2017 to 2019. It comprised weekdaily posts of Oddworld concept art selected from a recently recovered archive, much of it previously unreleased.

The first image was posted on 4th December 2017, and the series was due to continue until the release of Oddworld: Soulstorm. There were 327 posts in the series, the last post being made on 24th April 2019; Soulstorm released on 6th April 2021.

Details

Posts were not made on 19th or 22nd March 2018 due to Oddworld Inhabitants' attendance at Game Developers Conference and the launch of the Oddworld: Abe's Origins crowdfunding campaign occurring that week.

Starting on 22nd January 2018, the first image of each week was deliberately chosen for being in colour.

These very early concepts from Farzad back in 1996 show some of the more esoteric ideas we were throwing around at the time, but can you guess who this character would eventually become?	We're pleased to announce that we found the lost Oddworld archives! We've got never before and rarely seen artwork coming your way every weekday until Soulstorm is released. The images are complete with insight from Lorne and the rest of the team! Here's our first image #guesswho #gameart #characterdesign #Oddworld	Mon 4 Dec 2017 17:37	Here's our first image!

The port he got from the Vykkers Research Lab and allows him to jack into technologies.” Lorne Lanning	Today's lost archive image is 'An early exploration for Munch' This poor guy's been subject to one too many experiments. #Oddworld #lostarchives #characterdesign	Tue 5 Dec 2017 13:13	Today's lost archive image is 'An early exploration for Munch' Here's a sneak peek, you can see the full image on our Instagram right here http://ow.ly/H3x130h1sYX	Tue 5 Dec 2017 13:13	Today's lost archive image is 'An early exploration for Munch' Here's a sneak peek, you can see the full image on our Instagram right here http://ow.ly/H3x130h1sYX

0003		Wed 6 Dec 2017 19:23	Mudokon Queen Concept	Steven Olds	Unknown	An early exploration for Sam, a Mudokon Queen who is also Abe's mom. She's too large to move and is imprisoned here with one of her children. Her eggs are born into the workforce with the ‘Shrink’ AI Sam's only companion, designed to keep her motivated and positive to lay more productive eggs. Sam was intended to feature in both Munch's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus, and she is a character we will return to someday - her story will thicken.	Today's lost archive image is Sam, a Mudokon Queen.
