South Park: The Fractured But Whole gets new release date, trailer

This needs to be the last delay, MMmkay?

Crime is out of control in South Park and Coon and Friends must put a stop to it. And by “put a stop to it” I mean you’ll have to take on the mantle of super hero, using your time-bending fart powers to save the day. Because…South Park. Here’s the setup for South Park: The Fractured But Whole:

With crime on the rise in South Park, the streets have never been more dangerous. As the sun sets on the quiet Colorado town, havoc and chaos unleash a reign of terror and the seedy underbelly of the city comes alive. The town needs new heroes to rise! Eric Cartman seizes the opportunity to save the town and create the best superhero franchise ever, his own Coon & Friends with himself as the leader, The Coon.

Every superhero has an origin, and Coon & Friends are no different. Continuing in their role as the New Kid, players will discover their backstory, assemble their unique costumes, and harness their fart-based powers from numerous hero classes to create their own original hero. An all-new combat system offers unique opportunities to master space and time while on the battlefield, and a revamped looting and crafting system gives players the freedom to craft their own equipment to aid them in battle.

I absolutely loved South Park: The Stick of Truth (my written and video review), but if you missed it you can pick up a free copy by pre-ordering South Park: The Fractured But Whole, which you’ll be able to play immediately. You’ll also get an in-game assistant — Towelie: Your Gaming Bud who will provide “helpful” advice and commentary throughout the game. That alone may be worth the pre-order.

When, you might ask (repeatedly) will South Park: The Fractured But Whole hit shelves? The latest release date is October 17th, 2017 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
