After working on games like Alpha Protocol and Fallout: New Vegas, developer Obsidian Entertainment has decided to do a complete 180 and set its sights on South Park.
Game Informer has revealed that the cover story for its January issue is an upcoming South Park RPG from Obsidian, in collaboration with THQ. Titled South Park: The Game, it will let players control the new kid in South Park as he meets the town’s colorful cast of characters and fends off evil threats.
Series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone will be heavily involved with the project, writing the script and performing dialogue.
South Park: The Game is set to come out in 2012 on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. More details will be known when the next Game Informer issue arrives in mailboxes next week.
