Off the back of two excellent South Park RPGs, Obsidian's Stick of Truth and Ubisoft's Fractured But Whole, South Park: Snow Day! from developer Question is instead a cooperative multiplayer game. It ditches the 2D art aesthetic popularised by the show and adopted for the previous games for a less impressive but more functional 3D engine to boot.
That isn't to say Snow Day looks bad per se, it's just that we had taken for granted that there would be another South Park RPG for us to enjoy, as the previous games did an incredible job of bringing the world of South Park to life. We'll certainly be keeping an eye on it (due out on PS5 in 2024) and as open a mind as possible as we learn more in the coming months. Publisher THQ Nordic describes the game thusly:
- It’s an all-new 3D cooperative game.
- A blizzard of epic proportions has blanketed the town of South Park, and it’s up to Cartman, Stan, Kenny, Kyle, and you, as the New Kid, to save the town.
- Experience cooperative gameplay for the first time ever in a South Park game with up to three friends or ally bots—unleashing powerful, coordinated attacks on your foes.
- Equip and upgrade devastating melee and ranged weapons. Deploy special abilities and powers that will bring hordes of enemies and epic bosses to their knees.
- Use a wide range of iconic cosmetics and customize your New Kid with endless possible combinations from beanies to Cheesy Poof T-shirts to chin balls.
What do you think of South Park: Snow Day!? Do we need to get with the program and find some friends to play with? Let us know in the comments section below.

i like it, we need more games with 4 player (couch) co-op , south park already had its single players its multiplayers turn now. with that said though, i still want a remaster of the n64 game -the one that was first person and you could throw piss snowballs at turkeys & it even had a campaign, i probably got some thick rose tinted glasses on for saying this but i bet it wouldve been better than this game. i been waiting for a re-release of it for DECADES
I wish the stick of truth was available in the Japan PS store. I don’t like our chances of getting this one either
*edit: I just saw that Snow Day is available to add to wishlist so I guess we will get it 😆
@nomither6 These are the lenses of your rose tinted glasses!
The N64 South Park game is terrible!
I’m definitely more interested in this game after watching the new trailer, but it’s hard to not think of it as a downgrade from the previous two games.
Experience co-op on South Park for the first time ever…
South park on N64 is probably still better.
I sense another terrible game like Gollum and King Kong.
@Dman10 *another great game
You had a typo.
Yeah it's definitely a step down from the 2D style but we'll see how it goes with 4 player.
@Czar_Khastik That’s called a game-o lol which is what those games are.. a terrible mistake that could have easily been avoided..

Love this show love the games , their latest episode was awesome, I Wana be the repair man 🤦🤣
Its just seems like a dime a dozen multiplayer game not very exciting wonder if Matt and Trey have any involvement in this game like the last two games.
Still not interested xD
Love the TV series but this doesn't look great. The 3D art style doesn't fit, and in my view wouldn't fit such as the awful N64 game way back. A South Park co-op experience could work but this just doesn't look or sound fun. Maybe it'll review well but expectations are low I'm afraid!
Looks nice. I can play this with my 4 wives.
That snow actually looks really good lol. I'll keep my eye out for this. Bought the previous 2, but turn based anything loses me quickly.
