Initially showcased in the THQ Nordic Digital Showcase 2023 presentation, we have today got a better look at the upcoming 3D battler South Park: Snow Day! which is set to be thrown onto Switch in 2024.
We didn't get all that much about the game from the initial reveal (apart from a sense of dread at seeing another 3D South Park game), but today's trailer gives a slightly better idea of what this one will be all about.
Note - we have linked the new trailer at the bottom of this article because, as you might expect in a South Park game, there is a bit of colourful language towards the end. The game has an M (17+) rating from the ESRB, so we'd recommend only watching if you are in the correct age bracket.
Snow Day will see you playing either by yourself or teamed up with three companions as you make your way through a snow-covered South Park in an attempt to defeat oncoming forces and... save the world? We're not exactly sure about the correlation between the two, but that's South Park for you.
For a little more information about what this game has in store and to get a look at some screenshots, check out the following from publisher THQ Nordic:
- It’s an all-new 3D co-op 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.
We still don't have a precise release date for South Park: Snow Day! outside of '2024' for the moment, but for those of you who have already decided that this is a must-buy, the game is now available to pre-order for € 29.99 / $ 29.99 / £ 24.99.

Still not sold on this one yet! I'm gonna have to hold off to see some more footage methinks.
Can’t wait. The world needs more cartman.
If this is multiplayer focused and nothing like the other two I'll pass.
Not gonna lie the price point makes me want to keep an eye on it.
Is this digital only?
This...doesn't really look all that interesting IMO. The last two South Park RPGs from Ubisoft actually felt like South Park, with the same humor and artstyle.
Curious if Matt and Trey were involved in developing this one like the other two or if they just lent their voices and advice.
I still don’t understand the name. How did they miss the opportunity to call it Snow Balls Out?
I still don't understand what kind of game this is. Is it an action adventure akin to Zelda/Lego Batman or an RPG akin to Mana/Skyrim?
It's not a good sign when your gameplay trailer leaves me more confused than interested.
@Don Nope. You can buy it physically, too.
This looks awesome. Much better than I expected. Day 1 purchase for me
meh.... i'll pass on this
The previous games were pretty good (even the mobile one was good) so I'll keep an eye on this.
"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."
This is factually wrong. I'm sure at least 2 of the N64 games had Splitscreen, but Tenorman's Revenge & Let's Go Tower Defense Play on 360 had co-op long before this. Tragic that Microsoft never made them backwards compatible or did ports, as they're gonna be lost forever for most once the digital stores close next year.
Wow it's actually 3D but still had the charms and feel of the show as well. Definitely will be getting this on Steam day one. Will only get the Switch version if it actually runs good and had physical edition.
Battling hordes of enemies and epic bosses? I wonder if this could scratch that Killing Floor 2 itch I have. I'm curious to see exactly how this game is going to work, but from what I see it brings to mind something like Gauntlet or Borderlands with the different classes, kind of a beat-em-up adventure vibe. Color me intrigued, but I will still be apprehensive until I can get a better handle of how the game will be organized.
An... odd concept for a South Park game.
Not sure if there would be enough variety in the gameplay to keep things interesting though.
