Cast
In addition, [Wally Wingert] voices the Narrator.
 * Abe: A meek Mudokon slave at the RuptureFarms meat processing factory and the film's main protagonist. When he discovers that he and his fellow Mudokons are to be slaughtered to make a new product, Abe decides to escape and liberate as many enslaved Mudokons as he can.
 * Molluck: The main antagonist of the film. He is the head of RuptureFarms, member of the Magog Cartel and Abe's former boss, who only desires to make more wealth by hunting down the Meeches (presumably driving them into extinction as a result), Scrabs and Paramites to turn them into food. After having survived the lightning strike caused by Mudokons, which burned down RuptureFarms at the halfway of a movie, Molluck decided to exact revenge upon Abe while avoiding from being caught by fellow Glukkons (after they believed he's behind the Mudokon uprisings thanks to Abe's earlier escape and would stand trial for his inability to quench it) alongside his loyal Slig assistant, Chauffeur.
 * Alf: A Mudokon, who once worked in RuptureFarms' microbrewery as a barista, serving SoulStorm Brew to Sligs during work shifts and Abe's close friend. TBD
 * Toby: A Mudokon train engineer and former slave/boiler operator of RuptureFarms.
 * Big Face: A shaman that Abe met after he fell from a cliff trying to escape RuptureFarms and was revived by him, telling him to travel to Monsaic Lines, where he will begin a set of trials that would take place in Paramonia and Scrabania.
 * The Three Weirdos: A trio of ghosts of Mudokon ancestors who give Abe the power to heal Mudokons sick from SoulStorm Brew after the latter passes all the Scrab and Paramite temple tests.
 * The Keeper: An old Mudokon prophet and one of the very few female members of the species who lives in the sanctum of Necrum, where she along with the souls of countless other deceased keepers are tasked with preserving the true history of the Mudokon race.
 * Mudokons: A highly spiritual race that are native to the continent of Mudos.
 * Brewmaster: The full time head of SoulStorm Brewery.
 * Ludwig von Aslik: The administrator of FeeCo Depot and a high-ranking executive of the SoulStorm Brewery.
 * General Dripik: A Glukkon in charge of the Slig Barracks and one of three high ranking Glukkon executives with the authority to shut down the main security gates to SoulStorm Brewery.
 * Director Phleg: One of the high-ranking executives of the SoulStorm Brewery and the "head boner" of the Bonewerkz, a factory where excavated bones are processed into the raw ingredients for a variety of products, notably SoulStorm Brew.
 * Glukkons: One of the leading industrial races on Oddworld, with the sheer scope of their might rendering all other "industrial" races subservient.
 * Chauffeur: Molluck's personal henchman.
 * Sligs: A sapient species found on Oddworld, serving as security and personal assistants to the Magog Cartel.
 * Elum: A foul-tempered riding beast that considers itself anything but Abe's sidekick.
 * Shrykull: A invincible Mudokon demi-god with destructive power, which is an amalgation of Paramite and Scrab in appearance. After completing the Scrabania and Paramonia trials, Big Face granted Abe the ability to transform into Shrykull via spiritual tattoos before he returned to RuptureFarms to free the remaining Mudokons.
 * TBD: A human herald who works for Shrykull. He'll/She'll be portrayed by TBD.
 * Shrink: Also known as an "guardian angel", Shrink is a sentient A.I. robot who was manufactured in Vykkers Labs, with his job being keeping track of surveillance systems in RuptureFarms and interrogated Abe in his cell after he was captured there upon his return. He used to be a companion of his mother Sam in her chamber, maintaining a sense of artificial happiness through therapy, so her rate of Mudokon eggs' reproduction wouldn't be negatively affected by severe depression.

Differences between the Games and Film

 * TBD
 * Some parts of the film's plot based on Abe's Oddysee, are inspired by a fan novelization on Reddit.
 * Even though a story's act based on Abe's Exoddus focuses more on it's original version in the script, some elements from it's remake Soulstorm, such as Toby, The Keeper and Chauffeur, are also included.
 * While Sam (Mudokons' mother and only living female one) doesn't make a physical appearance in the games, Abe mentioned her during TBD.
 * Similarly, other Canon Foreigners such as a Human Herald for Shrykull would be included as well in this very story.
 * It expands on the universe's lore, such as including cut scenes from the original games such as Meeches being actually alive with a pack chasing down Abe (while he's riding on Elum in the film) and a meteor shower creating the shape of his handprint on the moon in a backstory, amongst others such as the destruction of various cities on Earth to be inline with the theme of facing off the many consequences of the people on doing all kinds of harmful acts to Mother Nature.

Trivia

 * The movie's animated parts and by extension, almost all of it's very own environments themselves keep the original series' charm and dark humor, with a design having a similar style to cinematic cutscenes from the 2021 video game Oddworld: Soulstorm. However, there are live-action sequences (aside with one of the Humans appearing for a reason) in certain cases such as "the End of the World" sequences (the scenes that took place before everything else as seen in this very entire film itself) as these scenes would be done by Zack Snyder.
