No, at the end of the article Lorne said that they plan on doing their titles on digital distribution because of the success they had on Steam. When asked if they would return to Fangus, the answer was no. They don't want to make $60 games anymore, they said lisencing it out to a trusted dev was not out of the question though. They want to make rich mythos, but in games that don't cost too much for the consumer. Their old games aren't the way they are doing it anymore.
As for Fangus, it started with the team wanting to make a more traditional shooter on the Stranger engine. As time went on though, the designs became far less Oddworld. Alot of the artwork in the article shows this, and they compred them to bald humans. The company became spilt on whether to keep it Oddworld or not. And we know a short time after that, they pursued the movie industry. Here is the story in short, directly from the article:

A sheepherder named Fangus who was enslaved after his land was seized by an invading government. After years of brutal gladiatorial combat, he escaped a much colder and angier beast. The game detailed his pursuit to seek vengeance on his captors and lead a revolt. Though he had to work fast as rabies slowoly consumed his body.
