News | First gameplay of South Park: Snow Day shown
A new trailer for South Park: Snow Day has been released, showing the first gameplay footage.
South Park: Snow Day was announced last summer and is a cooperative action game in which four players explore the snowy streets of South Park. Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny can be controlled. They celebrate that they are snow-free and therefore do not have to go to school, but in the meantime they also have to save the world.
Instead of previously released action RPGs within the South Park franchise, this game features real-time combat. The game is not from Ubisoft, but is developed by Question Games, known for The Magic Circle and The Blackout Club.
South Park: Snow Day is scheduled for release in March 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch. The game will cost 29.99 euros.
News | New South Park game in development with series creators
The makers of South Park are also working on a new game based on the series.
South Park creator Matt Stone himself confirmed this, according to Bloomberg. Earlier this week, it was announced that the South Park makers have signed a $900 million deal with Paramount and ViacomCBS. The deal covers six seasons of the series, a movie, fourteen spin-offs and a “3D video game”.
The past two South Park games were developed by Ubisoft, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now. The makers of the series are said to have set up their own in-house studio to make the game.
Looks like the South Park people are working on a new video game. The last two were published by Ubisoft - not clear who's making this one https://t.co/Z1oC1skFtU pic.twitter.com/21SZAqS1BF

It is not yet clear what the game entails. Matt Stone and his colleague Trey Parker have long wanted to combine a South Park game with an open world RPG, similar to Skyrim. Perhaps a new game will take up that concept.
