From the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, The Fractured But Whole is a sequel to 2014's South Park: The Stick of Truth.

With crime on the rise in South Park, the streets have never been more dangerous. As the sun sets on the quiet Colorado town, havoc and chaos unleash a reign of terror and the seedy underbelly of the city comes alive. The town needs new heroes to rise! Eric Cartman seizes the opportunity to save the town and create the best superhero franchise ever, his own Coon & Friends with himself as the leader, The Coon. Continuing in their role as the New Kid, players will become a member of Coon & Friends and fight for fame and their place beside the other kids.

Every superhero has an origin, and Coon & Friends are no different. Continuing in their role as the New Kid, players will discover their backstory, assemble their unique costumes, and harness their fart-based powers from numerous hero classes to create their own original hero.

Designed to allow interested players a chance to sample the fascinating and addicting world of South Park, the trial will feature no alterations to gameplay, with the exception of a one hour playtime restriction.

Upon completion, players will be given the option to purchase the full game.

All player progress will be saved and carried over should they decide to purchase the full game.

The Fractured But Whole has expanded with more places to explore and greater freedom to customize each players' character. An all-new combat system offers unique opportunities to master space and time while on the battlefield, and a revamped looting and crafting system gives players the freedom to craft their own equipment to aid them in battle.

Players must harness their fart-based powers to fight crime and become part of the most marketable superhero franchise of all time. Players will discover their backstory, assemble their unique costumes, and mix and match powers from numerous hero classes to create their own original hero.
