Ubisoft’s long-delayed South Park: The Fractured But Whole will finally go on sale on October 17, 2017.
The hotly anticipated follow-up to 2014’s hit RPG The Stick of Truth will be available for Xbox One, Sony PS4 and Windows PC simultaneously.
Whereas the previous edition focused on the boys’ wizard and elf-based playtime, TFBW focuses on Cartman’s Avengers-like superhero franchise Coon & Friends.
Gamers will play the new kid in town and learn fart-based powers to create their own superhero, capable of saving the quiet mountain town from certain doom in a uniquely flatulent way.

Today’s announcement from publisher Ubisoft comes after multiple delays to the initially scheduled release in December 2016.
The last we’d heard Ubisoft would only commit to a release before March 2018.
With that in mind, it’s actually a nice surprise that we’ll get it before the holidays, albeit almost a year late.
Unfortunately, despite Ubi’s well-documented excitement for the console, there’s no news on a release for the Nintendo Switch.
