On March 17, 2016, shortly after the announcement of Oddworld: Soulstorm, Lorne Lanning was a guest on the Kinda Funny Games podcast. On the show Lorne mentioned Oddworld Inhabitants' plans to communicate and tease new information about the game in a style similar to an alternate reality game (ARG). This would hopefully prevent long gaps of silence from Oddworld Inhabitants between updates and keep the fan community more engaged while waiting for the game to be released.
