South Park is getting a new game next year, and it’s a 3D action game

A brand new South Park game was shown during today’s THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2023. South Park: Snow Day! is a 3D isometric action game that supports multiplayer and will release next year.

SOUTH PARK: SNOW DAY! | Game Reveal Trailer

South Park has a somewhat rocky history with video games. Things started out with some bad titles in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but Ubisoft released the solid RPGs South Park: The Stick of Truth and South Park: The Fractured But Whole throughout the 2010s. THQ Nordic, which has dipped its toe into licensed games with two SpongeBob titles, first teased a new South Park game at the end of last year’s showcase. We hadn’t heard about the game again until today when the announcement for South Park: Snow Day! kicked off this year’s presentation.

As its title suggests, South Park: Snow Day! follows Cartman, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny as they play with each other on a snow day and take things way too far, turning the town into a war zone. Strange Scaffold’s Xalavier Nelson Jr. confirmed that he provided writing on the game. We see a little bit of gameplay in its reveal trailer, and it looks like a multiplayer isometric action game in the style of something like Diablo 4 or Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. Unlike the last two South Park games, this one’s in 3D.

Outside of that, we don’t know much else about South Park: Snow Day! Hopefully, we’ll learn more at Gamescom 2023 and as it approaches release. South Park: Snow Day! will be released for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch in 2024.

How to break down equipment in Avowed

Making sure your equipment is as powerful as possible is an obvious but essential tip and trick to remember while playing Avowed. Your skills will play a large part in combat, especially when you rebind them for easy access, but your armor and weapons will be the most important factors in how tough the game is to beat. Upgrading your gear is the best way to keep up with the difficulty, but it isn't long before you hit walls where you need much more materials than you have to get to the next tier. Breaking down extra weapons and armor you find will be the best way to get your hands on more of these precious materials, and you can do it right from the menu. Here's how.

This little gadget looks like a fantastic on-the-go option for playing your favorite retro titles, although it lacks a secondary screen for DS games.

Retroid first announced the handheld on its Discord with a render, and it's hard not to see the GameCube in its design. From the purple shell that closely resembles the original indigo to the bright yellow stick on the right-hand side, everything about this gadget feels like it should have Super Mario Sunshine on the display.
