South Park: Snow Day! is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Question LLC and published by THQ Nordic in association with South Park Digital Studios, scheduled to be released on March 26, 2024.[1][2] The game is based on the South Park animated series.[3][4]

Gameplay

The game centers around the four main characters—Eric Cartman, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski and Kenny McCormick—participating in snow-based fights and activities, with players assuming the role of a player-created character named The New Kid (as with the previous games Stick of Truth and Fractured but Whole).[5][6]

In an interview with South Park co-creator and project head Matt Stone, IGN likened the gameplay to that of a "roguelike". Stone remarked on the deviations from the series' previous RPG iterations, stating, "We always thought we wanted to do that thing where we do a thing in a show and then like, it's in the game two weeks later, or three weeks, or whatever it is."[7] He also remarked the change from 2-D to 3-D allowed the development team more flexibility in how they built the game world, saying that creating a game on a 2-D plane is "really, really hard when you think about what you have to work with."[8]

Development

In 2021, Matt Stone and Trey Parker signed a $900 million development deal with ViacomCBS, with one of the projects announced being a new South Park game in development that would be developed internally by South Park Digital Studios.[9] In August 2022, the game was teased at THQ Nordic's digital showcase by a small teaser featuring Randy Marsh's voice exclaiming "Hot! Hot-hot-hot!" from the episode, More Crap.[10] On August 2023, the game was officially announced.[11]
