After Ubisoft acquired the rights to South Park: The Stick of Truth, they took many months before finally giving us the awesome news that it would be available on December 10th this year.

South Park Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker added:
We always wanted the game to feel like you’re actually in an episode of South Park. Getting the game up to the crappy standards of the show has been a real challenge and we’re excited to say it’s taken way longer than we thought it would.
