South Park: Snow Day Will Be A 3D Multiplayer Free-For-All

gameranx.com:

Ubisoft has shared a new gameplay trailer for South Park: Snow Day, demonstrating that it will be a considerably different game from the ones that just preceded it.

South Park: Fractured but Whole and South Park: The Stick of Truth were both published by Ubisoft. Both were also RPGs with turn-based combat, and a perspective that mirrored the look of the show.

The publication history of these games also reflect quite the turbulent flow of activity. The original THQ was the original publisher of South Park: The Stick of Truth, but this was one of the few projects salvaged after THQ’s bankruptcy, and this game and the South Park rights were picked up by Ubisoft for a pittance of its original cost.

South Park: Snow Day, however, sees the publishing rights return to THQ, or really, Embracer Group owned THQ Nordic. From what we’ve seen in the trailer, this doesn’t look like one of the 15 titles that Embracer has written down.

South Park: Snow Day is being developed by Question Games, who had previously developed The Magic Circle. Much like Obsidian on South Park: Fractured but Whole, Question are a studio of some renown, being placed out of their element by making a South Park game.

The trailer shows that the game is shifting from the pseudo 2.5 D perspective of the previous two games, to a full 3D game. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are recognizable as their signature characters, but it doesn’t look like they were able to squeeze in that much expletives or foul humor in the game, at least not yet.

What we have is a multiplayer action game where kids go out in teams to kill each other in the snow. As shared by Video Games Chronicle, here’s the official synopsis:
