Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee is the third game developed by Oddworld Inhabitants and technically the second installment of the Oddworld pentalogy. While originally intended to be a title on the PlayStation 2, it eventually became a launch title for Microsoft's Xbox system. A port for the Game Boy Advance was developed by Art Co., Ltd, which featured top-down gameplay. Munch's Oddysee is Oddworld Inhabitants' first full 3D game and features several new characters and locations. It was first released on November 15, 2001 with subsequent releases on the PC, iOS, and Android 10+ years later.

On December 20th 2010, Munch's Oddysee was released along side Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus, and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath in a package exclusive to the online game service Steam, known as the OddBoxx. The game was re-released in 2012 as Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD, featuring higher quality graphics and models, improved controls, and a set of unique achievements.
