South Park: Snow Day just received its first-ever trailer, and fans seem to have high hopes for this one. It is a new 3D co-op action-adventure game wherein players get to battle against other South Park kids in a neighborhood showdown environment.
South Park: Snow Day will bring the series famous characters Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny into the third dimension for the first time. The first two editions namely, Fractured but Whole (2017) and The Stick of Truth (2014) featured 2D graphics. The South Park franchise is a game adaptation of the famous 1997 animated show of the same name.
South Park: Snow Day will revolve around the foul-mouthed gang as they celebrate a day off from school. As the school is shut due to the snowy Colorado winters, the kids set out on a quest to save the world. The game can be played by up to four players joining the cooperative action. The first trailer of the game suggests that the game could be fast-paced, real-time combat. Not much information regarding the game is known beyond that.
South Park: Snow Day pre-orders
The upcoming South Park: Snow Day is being developed by Question Games. The preceeding two South Park video games were developed by Ubisoft featuring an RPG style of gameplay. South Park: Snow Day will be a 3D co-op game published by THQ Nordic, which is set to launch sometime next year. Although the exact date is still unknown, reports suggest it could hit the shelves in March 2024.
Grab up to three friends and battle your way through the snow-piled town of South Park. Equip and upgrade devastating weapons, deploy special abilities and powers that will bring hordes of enemies and epic bosses to their knees.

At the moment, there are no preorder bonuses offered for players who pre-order the game. Only a standard edition of the game is available, which includes just the base game and nothing more. The developers may possibly offer some benefits for pre-orders as and when the release date is revealed and draws closer. Meanwhile, players can pre-order the game based on their liking for the previous games of the franchise.
South Park: Snow Day price and platforms
While the release date remains a mystery, pre-orders for this game have already begun. South Park fans can pre-order a copy of South Park Snow Day for a price tag of $30. The pre-orders are available for Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X currently. Although the PS5 listing page for the game is live, pre-orders are currently closed. Best Buy is accepting pre-orders for all console platforms. At launch the game is expected to release on PS5, Xbox series X and PC.
Notably, the price of $30 is interestingly low. Especially considering that the past two South Park games were both full-price releases. Snow Day is expected to bring about a big change of pace and look (because of 3D of course) for the series. However, it will still have the same brand of humor that fans have known and loved the game for.
