South Park: The Fractured But Whole Trailer – The Farting Vigilante

After previously announcing that South Park: The Fractured But Whole would be released within the next fiscal year, Ubisoft has revealed a new trailer giving fans a more exact date.

According to Ubisoft, the upcoming South Park sequel releases on October 17 of this year. The game is still slated for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Fans of the series can pre-order one of four editions — Standard, Gold, Steelbook Gold, and Collector’s Gold — from Ubisoft starting Wednesday.

Standard Edition

comes with the game and costs $60, but Ubisoft has included a few pre-order bonuses that will come with every edition of The Fractured But Whole. For anyone who missed out on The Stick of Truth, each purchase comes with a free download code for that game on PS4, Xbox One, or PC. This previous entry in the series is available to play right now, so there’s plenty of time to master it before the sequel releases. All pre-orders also come with Towelie, an exclusive in-game assistant.

For $90 and $100 respectively, the Gold and Steelbook Gold Editions come with a season pass and additional in-game costume perks. The latter also features a steelbook case, three South Park postcards, and several lithographic prints. Going a step further, the Collector’s Gold Edition includes a few extra collectibles including the lithographic prints and a six-inch-tall figurine of “The Coon” character. This edition retails for $130.

that comes with a remote control Coon Mobile. It will retail for $190. Further details on the various editions of South Park: The Fractured But Whole can be found on the official website.

The South Park sequel was originally set to release on December 6, 2016. In September, the game was pushed back for the first time into the first quarter of 2017, only to be delayed again shortly thereafter. Now that The Fractured But Whole has an official release date, all that is left to do is wait.

There are no plans to bring the game to the Nintendo Switch.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

Assassin's Creed Mirage Basim

It's time to ready your hidden blades once again, assassins, because a brand new entry in the Assassin's Creed series is upon us. All the leaks and rumors have turned out to be true, and the next installment in the franchise has been officially revealed as Assassin's Creed Mirage. This franchise has undergone some major changes in recent entries, and the next game seems poised to shake things up yet again.

First officially revealed during a Ubisoft Forward in September 2022, Assassin's Creed Mirage will be the next mainline game in the series after 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla. While each game typically only has smaller, less prominent ties to one another (at least after the series moved on from the Desmond arc), this game bucks the trend in that regard. From plot to gameplay changes and more, here's everything we know about Assassin's Creed Mirage, an upcoming PlayStation 5 game we have our eye on.

South Park is getting a new game next year, and it’s a 3D action game

Cartman in South Park: Snow Day!

A brand new South Park game was shown during today's THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2023. South Park: Snow Day! is a 3D isometric action game that supports multiplayer and will release next year.
SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! | Game Reveal Trailer
South Park has a somewhat rocky history with video games. Things started out with some bad titles in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but Ubisoft released the solid RPGs South Park: The Stick of Truth and South Park: The Fractured But Whole throughout the 2010s. THQ Nordic, which has dipped its toe into licensed games with two SpongeBob titles, first teased a new South Park game at the end of last year's showcase. We hadn't heard about the game again until today when the announcement for South Park: Snow Day! kicked off this year's presentation.
As its title suggests, South Park: Snow Day! follows Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny as they play with each other on a snow day and take things way too far, turning the town into a war zone. Strange Scaffold's Xalavier Nelson Jr. confirmed that he provided writing on the game. We see a little bit of gameplay in its reveal trailer, and it looks like a multiplayer isometric action game in the style of something like Diablo 4 or Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. Unlike the last two South Park games, this one's in 3D.

Outside of that, we don't know much else about South Park: Snow Day! Hopefully, we'll learn more at Gamescom 2023 and as it approaches release. South Park: Snow Day! will be released for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch in 2024.
