A teaser at the end of the 2022 THQ Nordic Digital Showcase hinted a new South Park game was coming. Naturally, it was assumed that it would be the next installment in the popularĀ South Park RPG series. However, it appears that won’t be the case.
During the 2023 THQ Nordic Digital Showcase,Ā South Park: Snow DayĀ was officially revealed. Players will battle through the snow-piled streets ofĀ South Park with up to three friends. Apparently, the highlight feature is that South Park will be in 3D, though I’m not sure that’s a good thing.
We also got a reveal trailer:
I think I’d rather have another 2D RPG
Even thoughĀ South Park: The Stick of TruthĀ andĀ South Park: Fractured but Whole weren’t for everyone, I could definitely appreciate what they were going for. A comical adventure in the world of South Park intended for fans of the show. Also, there’s something to the 2D charm and honestly, it looks kinda goofy in 3D.
In fact, the trailer reminded me a lot of the South Park game on N64. Obviously with more modern visuals, but the same sort of goofy 3D graphics and gameplay.
No details on the actual game were provided other than it will be 3D and feature co-op multiplayer. It kind of looks similar to Fat Princess to me, but it’s hard to really tell until we know more.
South Park: Snow Day will release in 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
