South Park RPG to be Titled "The Stick of Truth"

The upcoming South Park RPG is likely to be titled, “South Park: The Stick of Truth,” according to a placeholder listing on Xbox Marketplace. Obsidian has not made an announcement confirming the title of the game, so the contents of the listing are not yet official.

Case in point: the listing claims South Park: The Stick of Truth will be released yesterday. Weirder things have happened in South Park, sure, but until Obsidian or THQ confirm it it’s best not to get excited yet.

The listing also includes the cover for the game, showing the cast standing in a burning South Park. The titular Truth Stick is prominently featured, and looks both stick-like and indisputably truthy. The player will customize the appearance of the main character, so it’s understandable why the player character is not part of the cover art. The listing mentions offline co-op as a feature in the game, but it’s not confirmed whether both players will be customized or if one player will play as a character from the show.

Lastly, the listing gives a brief description of the plot, describing it as “an epic quest to become… cool.” So you know, just tons of spoilers in this announcement.
