The next South Park game being a co-operative pseudo-fantasy action RPG was not on our bingo cards. Released today, a new South Park Snow Day gameplay trailer shows off what it looks like to play the game for the first time, and it’s full of frenetic action combat.

You can watch the new trailer below:

According to today’s press release, 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. You’ll get to 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. Weapon-wise, you can equip and upgrade devastating melee and ranged weapons. You can also deploy special abilities and powers that will bring hordes of enemies and epic bosses to their knees. The game even features a wide range of iconic cosmetics to customize your New Kid with endless possible combinations from beanies to Cheesy Poof T-shirts to chin balls.

THQ Nordic tends to do a pretty decent job of making entertaining tie-in games, so hopefully this one matches the pattern. We’re looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

South Park Snow Day will launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC some time in 2024. To watch the last trailer for the game, click here.
