THQ announces 3D South Park game Snow Day

THQ Nordic has announced an all-new South Park game, South Park: Snow Day.

Announced during a live stream event on Friday, Snow Day is described as a 3D co-op adventure on the snow-piled streets of South Park. The game will release in 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.

“An all-new South Park game is coming… in 3D,” the 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.”

According to the reveal trailer, the game is developed by Question Games. The California-based studio has previously worked on first-person titles The Magic Circle and The Blackout Club.

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone confirmed in 2021 that they were working on a new “3D video game”.

The previous two South Park video games, The Stick of Truth (2014) and The Fractured but Whole (2017), were developed in collaboration with Ubisoft. The latter was created by The Outer Worlds developer Obsidian.

The two games were well received and currently have Metacritic scores of up to 85 and 84.

South Park: The Stick of Truth was due to be published by the original THQ, before it went bankrupt and the project was picked up by Ubisoft.
