South Park: The Fractured but Whole is an upcoming role-playing video game developed and published by Ubisoft in collaboration with South Park Digital Studios. Based on the American adult animated television series South Park, and following the plot after South Park: The Stick of Truth, it is set to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
South Park: The Fractured but Whole will feature twelve superhero classes: Brutalist, Blaster, Speedster, Elementalist, Gadgeteer, Mystic, Cyborg, Psychic, Assassin, Commander, Netherborn, and Karate Kid.
The Fractured but Whole takes place after the events of South Park: The Stick of Truth. The children of South Park begin a new adventure, again set in the fictional town of South Park in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, becoming role-playing superheroes. However, a falling-out over Cartman's planned film franchise splinters the boys into two groups. Those who side with Cartman join Coon and Friends, while rival group Freedom Pals call for their own franchise, starting a civil war between the two groups. The player again controls The New Kid, though now has the option of choosing the gender of The New Kid.
In March 2014, South Park co-creator Matt Stone said that he and Trey Parker were open to making a sequel, depending on the reception for South Park: The Stick of Truth. A sequel, South Park: The Fractured but Whole, was announced in June 2015. The game is being developed by Ubisoft San Francisco, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows, replacing Obsidian Entertainment.
