South Park fans ended 2021 at a high level with several specials and new episodes based largely on the Covid-19 pandemic. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the series, signed an agreement with Viacom last year for the production of a documentary and a new video game based on the series.
After the great RPGs released by Ubisoft, The Stick of Truth and The Fractured but Whole, the new game in the franchise has a very high bar to hit. To date, we know that the game will be in 3D, but not much else, even if little by little details are emerging on the idea of this new production which will be in charge of South Park Digital Studios, an internal studio of the company which will have the collaboration of Question Games.
South Park between classic and innovative
This studio was responsible for the development of the two RPGs we named above and is made up of veteran developers who knew how to work on Dishonored and the BioShock trilogy. On your website, published very recently a search for a level designer who has extensive experience in “multiplayer level design”.
With the precedent of The Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole, many are hoping that the new South Park game will have the same features with more additions, and this is perhaps where the multiplayer variant will be seen, perhaps with local and online components. Time will give us a better perspective, but the plans are there.
