South Park: The Stick of Truth coming this holiday season

By Griffin McElroy on Jun 10, 2013 06.10.13

South Park: The Stick of Truth, the upcoming licensed RPG from Obsidian and new publisher Ubisoft, will launch this holiday season, a trailer for the title aired at Ubisoft's E3 2013 press conference revealed. The release window was snuck into the end of the aforementioned trailer in a quote from South Park's Eric Cartman, who said the 360, PS3 and Windows PC title would launch either this holiday season "or some holiday season sometime soon, you know how video games work." In May, we learned the game was on track for a 2013 launch, so it certainly seems like his disclaimer was satirical. For more on the flatulence-based combat of Stick of Truth, check out our recent pre-E3 preview.

South Park: The Stick of Truth summons the magic of farts

By Michael McWhertor on Jun 04, 2013 06.04.13

The transition of Obsidian Entertainment's South Park: The Stick of Truth from failed publisher THQ to its new home at Ubisoft appears to be going smoothly. The side-scrolling role-playing game starring the foul-mouthed kids of South Park is just as crudely hilarious and designed to offend those who find scatalogical jokes distasteful as ever. At a recent hands-off demonstration of The Stick of Truth, Obsidian played through a battle that takes place in South Park Elementary, where humans, elves and goths are waging a grade school war. The player, in his role as the new kid in town — christened "Commander Douchebag" by Cartman, the Grand Wizard of the humans — adventures with South Park's Butters as they navigate through the school. Douchebag and Butters have a deep library of...

South Park: The Stick of Truth is still on track for 2013 launch, Ubisoft confirms

By Emily Gera on May 03, 2013 05.03.13

South Park: The Stick of Truth will still be released this year despite not being included in the publisher Ubisoft's official release schedule made available earlier in the week, VideoGamer.com reports. According to a Ubisoft representative, while there are no updates on the status of the game, The Stick of Truth is still "scheduled for release in calendar 2013." Ubisoft acquired the title for $3.2 million earlier in the year, following THQ's closure. The game was initially slated to be released later this May when it was still under the THQ umbrella; however, it was delayed after being acquired by Ubisoft.

Chris Avellone explores differences between Project Eternity and Torment: Tides of Numenera

By Dave Tach on Apr 10, 2013 04.10.13

Chris Avellone, the developer playing a part in Project Eternity and Torment: Tides of Numenera, says each game's setting and gameplay allows him to work on multiple projects simultaneously, according to an interview published in GamesIndustry International. Avellone, chief creative officer at Obsidian Entertainment, is working on the developer's crowdfunded Project Eternity, a fantasy role-playing game. At least on the surface, it bears a resemblance to InXile Entertainment's Torment: Tides of Numenera, a project he became a contributor to when the game hit its $3.5 million stretch goal. But the similarities don't pose a problem, he said. "Numenera is much more free flowing, much more story-focused, and Eternity is stuff like dungeon exploration, party team, how do you approach a...

By Dave Tach on Jan 22, 2013 01.22.13

South Park Digital Studios LLC, the company that owns the South Park license, filed an objection in Delaware bankruptcy court recently to prohibit the sale of South Park: The Stick of Truth unless several conditions are met during THQ's upcoming bankruptcy proceedings, according to documents filed in the Delaware court.

Metro: Last Light PC pulled from GameStop digital store in fear of THQ instability

By Griffin McElroy on Jan 18, 2013 01.18.13

Metro: Last Light is no longer available to pre-purchase on GameStop PC Downloads, the retailer's hub for downloadable PC games, due to fears of publisher THQ's instability, a GameStop exec told GameSpot today. Shoppers searching for the game on GameStop PC Downloads can no longer pre-order THQ's upcoming, post-apocalyptic shooter, and anyone who already reserved the PC downloadable version of the title is eligible for a refund from GameStop customer service. The console versions of the title are still available to pre-order in-store and on the retailer's website; we've contacted GameStop representatives to find out if that's due to change. "Essentially, due to THQ's current financial situation and uncertainty of delivery, in order to protect our consumers we removed the ability to...
