At GDC 2015, we managed to get a sneaky look at Oddworld New 'n' Tasty running on an Nvidia Shield and speculated that it may well be coming to mobile.

Well, this time we're confirming it - Oddworld New 'n' Tasty will be on iOS by the end of the year.

We had a peek at the iOS version, and it was looking pretty decent though not quite up to snuff with the PC and console versions. That's something Oddworld Inhabitants is working on.

Thankfully, there wasn't a virtual stick in sight. You'll slide your finger left and right to move the hapless Mudokon, swipe up to jump, and down to roll.

Meanwhile, the voice commands are brought up by tapping an icon and then on the sentence you want Abe to say. It's pretty neat.

Oh, you have no idea what I've been talking about this whole time? Oddworld New 'n' Tasty is a remake of Oddworld: Abe's Odyssee, a pretty dark platformer than launched the original PlayStation back in 1997.

The new version is basically a remake, with totally revamped visuals. But don't worry - all of the old puzzles, platforming, shooting, chatting to your fellow Mudokons, murder, and possession still remain intact.

Look out for Oddworld New 'n' Tasty on iOS sometime this autumn.
