South Park: The Stick of Truth, the superbly barmy and irreverent action RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, will be getting a standalone PS4 and Xbox One release next month.Â
The game was previously only available on current generation consoles for pre-ordering South Park: The Fractured But Whole. However, you’ll now be able to snap up the game separately from February 13.
Originally released on PS3, PC, and Xbox 360 in 2014, South Park: The Stick of Truth follows The New Kid (that’s you) as he settles into life in the eponymous town, only to find himself inexorably caught up a sprawling fantasy epic that sees the kids fighting to claim the Stick of Truth. Inevitably, you end up battling a myriad of foes including aliens, gnomes, and Nazi zombies, because why the hell not?
The game marries the show’s trademark humour and aesthetic with a dollop of RPG goodness, with players able to freely explore South Park while conversing with its residents and picking up numerous side quests along the way. Oh, and you can also fart magical powers, because it wouldn’t be South Park without some form of odious bodily function thrown into the mix.Â
