At the time of writing, however, Ubisoft have not responded to requests for comment. While the first game was developed by Obsidian, the follow-up was developed by UbisoftвЂ™s own San Francisco studio.

The company published the last two major games in the franchise: South Park: The Stick of Truth released in 2014 and follow up South Park: The Fractured But Whole in 2017. However, itвЂ™s interesting to note that-at least for the moment-publishers Ubisoft do not seem to be involved. WhatвЂ™s more, according to an email from Matt Stone himself claimed to have been sent to BloombergвЂ™s Lucas Shaw, the game is already in development internally by an in-house studio. The six-year deal is said to include new episodes of the television series, several spin-off movies and вЂњa 3D video game that is set in the world of вЂSouth ParkвЂ™. The news comes by way of a Bloomberg report of a new $900 million dollar deal the pair have made with ViacomCBS. South Park: The Fractured But Whole is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.ItвЂ™s come to light that a new South Park game may be in development according to the long-running seriesвЂ™ creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Either way, the future is looking bright for the franchise, but that doesn't mean fans shouldn't celebrate its past.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole takes slightly longer to beat, being about 17 hours for the main story and 27 to do everything. Both games are relatively short romps that can easily fit into otherwise busy schedules, with the Stick of Truth taking about 11 hours to beat and 20 hours to get 100% completion. In fact, a multiverse-based South Park game could be interesting to see as well.ДЄnd, at the end of the day, there's always one reason to revisit past favorites: they're fun. In the same vein, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has come a long way since 2017, with Thanos' defeat in Endgame bring that storyline to an end and shows like Loki bringing in the Multiverse. If anything, TTRPGs have only increased in popularity online, with shows like Matt Mercer's Critical Role and more appearing on places like Twitch. As mention, both games released on the rise of a particular popular brand, but those are still going. While preparing for a new game in a franchise by playing the older games ought to be a time-honored tradition, there are a handful of other reasons too. There's enough out there to make a music-based, sports-based, horror-based pandemic, a streamer-based game, or even a cyberpunk-based game, with that being the short of it. After all, The Stick of Truth took the rise of TTRPGs and ran with it, while The Fractured But Whole did the same with super heroes. South Park: The Stick of Truth - From the perilous battlefields of the fourth-grade playground, a young hero will rise, destined to be South Parks savior. Notably, none of this is even required but would likely be involved. It'd be interesting to see what theme the new game takes on, with everything from South Park's pandemic special and sports teams to its Guitar Hero episodes and more working as good inspiration. That's because there's a certain, unique vision in South Park, and it's hard to imagine anyone else capturing that. Sure, they could make anything, but they were both heavily involved in the development of The Stick of Truth and The Fractured But Whole, despite how difficult juggling all of their work must be. Of course, there's no telling if the new game would release as something similar to the two aforementioned games or something completely different, but it's hard to pass on the former, likely even for the creators. Not only would it show what the franchise is capable of, but it could show where the games could improve. Graphics, tone, and everything about these games scream South Park, and they would do well going into 2027 as well.ДЄs such, there's no reason not to pick them up and play them ahead of the upcoming release. And while it's been 7 years since the first game and 4 years since the second, these games hold up incredibly well. Both games reviewed well, with the first one typically average in the mid 80s for critic scores and the latter for lower 80s. While fans may appreciate the older games and the more recent mobile game is fine and all, there's no topping South Park: The Stick of Truth and South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
