South Park: The Stick of Truth Release Goes from 'Holiday 2013' to 'TBC' on Ubi Schedule

According to a Ubisoft release schedule issued to the press, Obsidian's South Park: The Stick of Truth might no longer make its projected 'holiday 2013' launch window. Said schedule now lists the game's launch date as simply 'TBC'.

That's an acronym for 'To Be Confirmed', as we're sure you're well aware. Ubisoft had dated the RPG for 'holiday 2013' in its E3 2013 trailer, but now has no date scheduled for the RPG. The game had originally been slated for March 2013 by THQ before the publisher went belly up.

We contacted Ubisoft for comment, and they echoed this, stating that "South Park: The Stick of Truth doesn't have a release date yet." When will the game be releasing then? Your guess is as good as ours for now, but we'll be sure to keep you updated if we hear anything else from Ubisoft.

South Park: The Stick of Truth is seemingly delayed then, for reasons unknown. Let's hope it's nothing too super serial. Look out for our South Park: The Stick of Truth preview from Gamescom later this evening.

  • Thats going to be a farce and a big joke. But I'm optimistic that some day it will be here.....some day....
  • I have waited for so long for tis game as long as it's not a disappointment it will be worth the wait. It had a release date of February then March then April then I heard August and now it's September haha.
  • GFD: God Fucking Dammit
  • Will this game ever get released by the time it does I will be to old to love south park
  • So I guess we're not getting any new South Park episodes until the game is released then?.. They delayed the season because of the game, and now the game is being delayed even more.
  • Just another reason why I dislike Ubisoft.
  • Oh my god, ubisoft killed South Park......... U bastards
  • @5 They delayed the season because they were in London with Book of Mormon.
  • It's always a good sign when a game gets pushed back and the release date changes. Wait...that doesn't sound right.
  • "They took our jerbs!" - unemployed THQ developers
  • And then I have this sick sense of de ja vu - and the words Duke Nukem Forever spring to mind... oh dear god please say it aint so...
  • It would only be Ubisoft that does this. Next thing you know it will be on Xbox One and not 360.
  • @12 then all these delays might just be worth it, but it just seems like ubisoft have had less progress with South Park than THQ did while going through financial troubles
  • Oh, mother lovin', dammit, Barbara Streisand!
  • They need to have a Xbox One version too at this point.
  • I give up with this shit.
  • Thats fine by me, if they need time to work on it thats great. It will probably be for both consoles next year. Hey it could be worse like Aliens: Colonial Marines that was garbage (I bought it) Still liked it but fucken worse game I ever played! This doenst mean that the game will be like aliens, look at all the time they put into stick of truth! Besides this will clear a way for me to keep myself busy for BF4 Destiny for xbox 1 until south park release date! :D And deff. buy it day one!
  • all i know is that when i game keeps getting pushed back that is highly anticipated. it usually spells doom for the game. Remember Too Human
  • It would be nice if they delayed it to just put it on Xbox One instead, or too, both would be good. On the plus side, this gives me more time to preorder it as I keep forgetting lol.
  • The game was basically done when it was with THQ. Why now is it still delayed? Maybe because they don't want it releasing around their other titles. AC4, Watchdogs, and others. Either way this is BS!!!!!!!!!!
  • Ubisoft already has a lot of decent games coming out this christmas, it makes no sense to push this out with 2 AAA titles also on the market at the time. It wouldn't sell.
  • Between this, Doom 4 and Prey 2, I'm getting really sick of the "It'll be done when it's done" crap. I understand you guys want to make your product as go as it possible can be, put I also would like to actaully have the thing before I'm elligable for Social Security.
  • I would die for a 'South Park' video game , but can anyone give a link to a in-game/gameplay trailer for the game , please ?
  • Damn it! The only good news is I get to keep my money, since this was a pre-order to me. January 2014 would be ok, my finance will be better by then.
  • With Sega, Square Enix, and Bethesda all rushing Obsidian to make games, and still coming out with what they did, I'll give Obsidian the benefit of the doubt and say this can only be a good thing for the game.
  • I can't be the only one who has gone from must buy to kinda skeptical. A:CM and DN:F come to mind when I think of troubled development.
  • Screw you guy's im going home!
  • Oh, hamburgers!
  • No Ubisoft THAT'S A BAD UBISOFT!
  • It's easy. It's in a terrible slot whereits going to get Alan Waked by a slew of console launches. They had to move it, probably to February
  • been pretty hyped on this game for a while now looks pretty promising, hope it doesnt get canceled or delayed too much.
  • I hope it is moved to Feb. Oct. and Nov. are gonna kill my wallet as is
  • Fuck fuckity fuck, fuck, fuck.
  • Welcome to the everyyear occurance. Will no doubt release in March now, publishers are too scared to launch with COD as competition and this year with PS4/XONE launching, even more reason to delay. Will probably end up a Next Gen title now
  • This blows, I was looking forward to playing it this holiday. Now we might have to wait till early next year. Maybe they want to increase revenue by not releasing it during that busy holiday period, especially with new consoles in the outing soon. Would make sense, IMO...
  • Is this game the next Duke Nukem Forever.
  • This probably should be taken with a grain of salt, but, GameStop has it listed to release the same day as Watch Dogs. Grain of Salt. Could be true, or not.
  • God I hope this game is at least decent...
  • I'd like to think it has more to do with Matt and Trey being perfectionists than Ubisoft's fault...
  • I have a feeling this will be scrapped like Star Wars Battlefront 3 was. At this point if it ever gets released, it will be on last-gen consoles, so maybe it will be deeply discounted at launch?
  • @42 It has nothing to do with that. The biggest flaw was it was being developed by THQ, who since went bankrupt and all projects were halted until other company's bought a the rights to the games.
  • @4 i don't think their is such a thing as getting too old for South Park.
  • @4 You will never be to old to love South Park,..
  • JESUS....JESUS CHRIST.
  • lol ubi is too busy making assassin creed games left and right
