E3 2012: Embark on a Quest to Become Cool in “South Park and the Stick of Truth”!

During Microsoft’s press conference, the previously announced South Park RPG got a shiny new trailer, compete with new details, features and of course, lots of hilarity.

Embarking on an an epic quest to save South Park, gamers will create their own character who will be the savior of the South Park universe. The short trailer already features plenty of nods to the show, including the Woodland Critters, the fake anime version of Professor Chaos and a gun toting Jesus Christ. Xbox gamers will finally be able to tell off Cartman with Kinect support, so if you want to trash talk your enemies in the foulest of ways possible while beating them down. South Park hasn’t had a very strong reputation when it comes to gaming, but this trailer had me genuinely laughing, and its release on March 5th can’t come soon enough.

But that’s not all, because THQ is planning additional content for the title, including the Mysterion Pack which will be a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360. Check out the press release detailing the content:
