Query, the studio behind co-op horror sport The Blackout Club, is hiring a lead degree designer for a brand new sport “set on the earth of South Park.” Although the studio contains crew members who labored on earlier South Park video games The Stick of Fact and The Fractured However Complete (in addition to the Bioshock collection, Dishonored, and Thief: Lethal Shadows), it seems like this subsequent South Park sport will not be one other singleplayer RPG.
The job description requires expertise delivery a multiplayer sport, and among the many tasks mentions the creation of “ranges choc filled with aesthetically compelling moments and attention-grabbing tactical decisions.” Having beforehand made a sport that did some interesting stuff with multiplayer, Query can be a strong selection for a sport that is not simply South Park Battle Royale or no matter. Fingers crossed.
A Bloomberg story from last year concerning the deal South Park’s creators signed with Viacom, value over $900 million, talked about a few of that cash was being invested in a videogame. Nevertheless, it additionally recommended the sport can be developed internally by an in-house studio, so except these plans have modified there could also be two South Park video games at present within the works.
That Viacom deal coated not solely six extra seasons of South Park, but additionally 14 motion pictures for the streaming service Paramount+ that may “broaden on the present world” of South Park. Provided that Query’s sport is described as “set on the earth of South Park”, it might be a part of some form of expanded ‘South Park universe’ deal.
Thanks, Eurogamer.
