When is the South Park Snow Day release date?
South Park Snow Day does not have an exact release date yet, but it is expected to launch some time in 2024. The game is being developed by Question Games, a studio founded by former Bioshock and Dishonored developers.
The developers stated in an official tweet:
An all-new South Park game is coming… in three-dimensional glory! Celebrate the most magical day in any young child’s life in SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! – coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch in 2024.
The studio has previously worked on The Magic Circle and The Blackout Club, two games that combine humour and horror in unique ways. South Park Snow Day will be its biggest project to date, and it is working closely with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to ensure the game captures the essence of the show.
What platforms is South Park Snow Day on?
South Park: Snow Day will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game will support up to four players in online co-op mode, and you will be able to customise your own character with different outfits and accessories.
It is not clear yet if the game will have cross-play between different platforms, but we hope that it will be possible to play with your friends regardless of what device they own.
South Park Snow Day editions and pre-order bonuses
The only edition of South Park Snow Day that you can pre-order right now is the standard edition. This edition comes with the base game only and costs $30. You can pre-order it for PlayStation5, Nintendo Switch, or Xbox Series X|S. There are no special or collectors' editions of the game announced yet, though they are bound to crop up nearer to release.
There are also no pre-order bonuses for Snow Day at the moment because the game does not have a confirmed release date. This might change in the future, but for now, you will not get any extra perks if you pre-order the game.
Is South Park Snow Day a sequel?
Yes, South Park Snow Day is a sequel to South Park The Fractured But Whole. The game's narrative occurs one day after the events of its predecessor. The player controls the New Kid as they explore the fictional Colorado town of South Park, around which the player-character can be freely moved.
Its predecessor is viewed from a 2D, third-person perspective and is set in South Park, a fictional town in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The game features a fast-travel system that allows the character to be moved between unlocked travel points.
Everything we know about South Park Snow Day
South Park: Snow Day is a 3D co-op multiplayer game developed by Question Games. The game's official synopsis reads:
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.
While no specifics are known about the game’s plot, it’s clear that Snow Day will continue the South Park tradition of kids taking their games way too seriously, turning their town into a warzone in their minds.
Regarding gameplay, there aren't specific details available about how the game will play, but it appears that groups of players will be able to battle their way through the snow-piled streets of South Park on a quest to save the world and enjoy a day without school, like a comedic spin on the Diablo series.
The game supports up to four players, and its move to a more modern style of gameplay and graphics creates opportunities for packing South Park: Snow Day with even more in-jokes and gaming references than its predecessors.
As for the characters of South Park, it’s unclear what role they will play in the game. The trailer only shows Cartman, dressed in his Grand Wizard King costume from the show Stick of Truth, celebrating the snow day and seeming to summon fire to rain down over the town alongside the snow. However, the game looks nothing like those 2D RPGs.
