South Park Digital Studios, in collaboration with THQ Nordic GmbH, has officially announced the launch of the new game South Park: Snow Day!, set to release on March 26, 2024. The latest addition to the South Park video game universe, following their collaboration with Ubisoft on South Park: The Stick of Truth (2014) and South Park: The Fractured but Whole (2017), will be available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC platforms – with pre-orders now open via their respective digital distribution platforms as well.
South Park: Snow Day! invites players to step into the shoes of iconic characters from the South Park series – Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny. Rendered in 3D whilst still attempting to capture the more 2D-esque nature of the show, the game aims to capture the essence of a quintessential childhood experience: a snow day. Players have the opportunity to team up with up to three friends, navigating the snow-covered streets of South Park in a bid to make the most of a school-free day.
For the fans who think this game is up their alley and are keen on spending a bit more money, the Limited Collector’s Edition of South Park: Snow Day! is available for pre-order on all platforms. In addition to the game, this edition includes a small number of goodies including a a Grand Wizard Cartman Snow Globe, Talking Toilet Paper Holder, and Knit Beanie, a selection of six Tarot Cards, and the game’s original soundtrack.
The game will be offered in various editions, each with its own pricing. The Standard Edition is priced at $29.99 / €29.99 / £24.99, the Digital Deluxe Edition at $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99, and the Collector’s Edition at $219.99 / €219.99 / £189.99.
My question is, will South Park: Snow Day! be fondly looked back on as the original 2010s RPG duology was…. will it be a simple tie-in game… or will it be something more?
