South Park: The Fractured but Whole - Everything you need to know!

Cartman and the gang return in the RPG sequel South Park: The Fractured but Whole, learn more about the game before the release on October 17th with this handy guide on everything you need to know.

What is South Park: The Fractured but Whole?

South Park: The Fractured but Whole is the sequel to the 2014 hit South Park: The Stick of Truth, where the South Park gang are up to mischief once more. Once again you will play as the New Kid, and like the original game you will be interacting with some of the craziest characters of South Park. This time around things are a little different as the shift of the game goes from fantasy to the world of super hero franchises, with Cartman's Coon and Friends doing battle against Mysterion's Freedom Pals. Players can pick from one of 12 superhero classes including: Blaster, Speedster, Mystic, Cyborg, Assassin, Commander, Netherborn, and Karate Kid. Each one will offer a different playstyle and custom attacks designed for their chosen role. Unlike Stick of Truth players can also pick their gender, allowing both Male and Female characters as well as new race options that will alter the difficulty depending on your skin tone (yes seriously).

Expect an adventure that will offer plenty of parodies on super heroes, spanning various locations and going even further than the original did as the gang visit Strip Clubs and more. The original game was a huge hit among fans of South Park and the sequel looks to continue that trend with this latest title. If you've never had a chance to play the original you can get that for free with your pre-order!

Fans of RPG games, South Park or just silly parodies on Super Heroes in general will definitely enjoy this upcoming romp with Cartman and the gang!
