The cover for the upcoming issue (January 2012) of Game Informer was revealed earlier today. Drum roll please!...
Yes, a South Park RPG is in the works by THQ and Obsidian, with a lot of input from Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Stone and Parker are writing the script, performing the dialogue, and will oversee the development of South Park: The Game.
On one hand, it could be amazing if done right. There are a ton of locations from the show and movie that can easily be used. Casa Bonita, the school, space, Ethiopia, Africa, North Pole, Heaven, Hell, etc. all come to mind. In fact, if there isn't a tower defense sequence to defend the CITY WALL then I'm going to be very disappointed. On the other hand, it's an Obsidian title so it's almost guaranteed to have an initial launch that is more full of bugs than Klendathu.

Unlike the cash-in Acclaim titles from over a decade ago, this ambitious project is a full-scale RPG for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. As the new kid in South Park, it'll be up to you to make friends and defend the town from a wide range of threats. Be sure to check out our January issue for all the details, as well as an interview with Parker and Stone themselves.
