South Park: Snow Day gameplay footage has been released by THQ Nordic, showing the new direction that the South Park games are taking. Gone is the 2D animation of South Park The Stick of Truth and South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and 3D is back. However, it does seem this is part of the same canon. You are still New Kid and the costumes from The Stick of Truth are back.
The description for South Park: Snow Day says, “Join Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny, in three-dimensional glory, to celebrate the most magical day in any young child’s life – a snow day! Grab up to three friends and battle your way through the snow-piled streets of South Park on a quest to save the world and enjoy a day without school.”
The key features have also been detailed as follows:
- A blizzard of epic proportions has blanketed the town of South Park and it’s up to Cartman, Stan, Kenny, Kyle, and you, as the New Kid, to save the town.
- Experience cooperative gameplay for the first time ever in a South Park game with up to three friends or ally bots – unleashing powerful, coordinated attacks on your foes.
- Equip and upgrade devastating melee and ranged weapons. Deploy special abilities and powers that will bring hordes of enemies and epic bosses to their knees.
- Use a wide range of iconic cosmetics and customize your New Kid with endless possible combinations from beanies to Cheesy Poof T-shirts to chin balls.
South Park: Snow Day is due to be released for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch. A release date is yet to be confirmed.
