South Park Returns To XBLA



Apparently Microsoft likes South Park so much that it signed an exclusivity deal for another game.

The last time a South Park game came out, it was as the well-received South Park Let's Go Tower Defense Play! The game was such a hit that it turns out Microsoft Game Studios is working on a new South Park title for XBLA.

Speaking to Joystiq during a preview of Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon, 345 Games creative Director Prithvi Virasinghe was asked about whether or not his company would be working on a new South Park title. Virasinghe explained that the next game was being worked on by Microsoft Game Studios:

"Right now, South Park is actually in a first-party deal with Microsoft Studios, who published the first game, and they're doing a second game as well. After that, that first-party exclusivity window expires, and we get a shot of taking that back."

Other details about the next South Park title weren't mentioned, like just what sort of title it'll be. That said, if Microsoft is making the game, it stands to reason that the next title will be pretty solid.

The first game was SOOOOOOOOO much fun, not to mention really funny and actually quite challenging on the more differcult levels. Yes I got the Manbearpig acheivo... was an epic duel. I am excited.

Liked the inclusion of unlockable videoclips in the last one, and I think it was one of the first games to include avatar rewards. It was a good game but I hope they tackle a different genre this time.

Best handling of the Southpark licence in videogames so far, does anyone remember the awful Southpark games on the N64?

The picture for this story get's a "What, what in the butt" +1000 right here and now!
Also, good news for both SP and MSFT. I hope it's gonna be superb, just as the show still is (and it has been pumping out new eps since 1996!!!). SP forever :D

I wonder if they can get the rights to put the N64 FPS up on XBLA...that and Chef''s Love Shack. GREAT games. I didn't care for the tower defense but then, I dislike those types of games.
