South Park Stick of Truth News: Release Date Dec. 10 for RPG Gameplay Title [Trailer]

South Park has been one of the most influential and popular cartoon series of the new millennium and publisher Ubisoft hopes to translate that success to video games when it releases South Park: The Stick of Truth on Dec. 10. 

Ubisoft recently announced new information about the game's pre-order bonuses to Gamespot, as well as what will be in the special edition of the game. Those who pre-order the game will receive the Ultimate Fellowship pack. This bundle will give players four new costumes with special abilities to use on their character, who will be a completely new character of their own creation.

The four costumes are the Necromancer Sorcerer, Rogue Assassin, Ranger Elf and Holy Defender. Each will have their own special abilities that will help users throughout the game, which will be an RPG set in the world of the television show.

The Necromancer Sorcerer will give players the ability to deal extra fire damage to their foes. The Rogue Assassin will receive more gold during fights than other costumes. The Ranger Elf will give players a boost to weapons damage. Finally, the Holy Defender will take less than damage than normal.

The Ultimate Fellowship pack also comes with the special edition of the game, the Grand Wizard Edition. In addition to Ultimate fellowship DLC, the Grand Wizard Edition of the game will come with a Kidrobot Cartman Figure of Cartman in his Grand Wizard outfit, along with a map of the Kingdom of South Park as seen in the game.

South Park: The Stick of Truth gives players the chance to enter the world of the cartoon and interact with many of the characters. The plot of the game involves the player joining Cartman as he fights Kyle and Stan, who have taken over the school. The game plays with many of the tropes associated with RPG's, and will have characters dress as poorly made cosplay or larping versions of themselves. The game will have turned based combat with the characters improvising different types of magic and weapons with whatever materials a elementary school child would have around. The game should definitely be a must buy for fans of the series as well as RPG fans.
