E3 2016: South Park The Fractured But Whole Release Date Revealed

Written by Brandon Hofer on June 13, 2016

News: The new South Park game is coming out this year and you can even get The Stick of Truth for free on Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

One of the games that was highlighted at Ubisoft’s E3 press conference this year was the new South Park game, South Park: The Fractured But Whole. They announced that it will be released on December 6 and it will come with a free copy of South Park: The Stick of Truth that you can play on Xbox One or PS4.

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. Continuing in their role as the New Kid, players will become a member of Coon & Friends and fight for fame and their place beside the other kids.

Players must harness their fart-based powers to fight crime and become part of the most marketable superhero franchise of all time. Every superhero has an origin, and Coon & Friends are no different. Players will discover their backstory, assemble their unique costumes, and mix and match powers from numerous hero classes to create their own original hero.

Developed from the ground up using Snowdrop, Ubisoft Massive’s proprietary engine, The Fractured But Whole has expanded with more places to explore and greater freedom to customize each player’s character. 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.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole will be available in four different editions. The details for each edition is as follows:
