Today, at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Ubisoft and South Park Digital Studios announced that South Park: The Fractured But Whole will be available at retailers this coming December. From the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, The Fractured But Whole is an outrageous sequel to 2014’s award-winning title, South Park: The Stick of Truth.
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 super hero 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 Ubisoft Massive’s proprietary engine, Snowdrop, The Fractured But Whole has expanded with more places to explore and greater freedom to customize each players’ 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 three editions: Standard, Gold, Steelbook Gold and Collector’s.
The Standard Edition:

All pre-orders will also receive an exclusive in-game assistant, “Towelie: Your Gaming Bud.” The streets of South Park aren’t as safe as they used to be and even the most seasoned South Park veteran will need help navigating the dark streets. “Towelie: Your Gaming Bud” provides unique assistance to players at key locations throughout the game.
