Ubisoft will re-release South Park: The Stick of Truth for the PS4, Xbox One in February
PS4 and Xbox One owners will be able to head on down to South Park and have themselves a time next month. Ubisoft has announced they will re-release South Park: The Stick of Truth for the two platforms on February 13.
Originally released for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 in 2014, South Park: Stick of Truth is an RPG from Obsidian Entertainment that also doubles as a parody of ridiculous fantasy sagas like The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
South Park: The Stick of Truth likely won’t be enhanced in any way for its PS4 and Xbox One debut, but it’ll be available for $29.99 as a retail disc and a digital download.
