Despite a tweet earlier this week referencing Nintendo on the official South Park account, there are currently no plans to bring South Park: The Fractured But Whole to the Nintendo Switch.
Confusion and some speculation arose on Reddit and NeoGAF after the South Park Twitter account posted a GIF of Cartman freezing himself, captioned "Nin-ten-do. I'm coming. I'm coming, Nin-ten-do #blizzard2017." Though some suggested the tweet alluded to an impending Nintendo Switch announcement for the upcoming South Park RPG, that is currently not the case.
"South Park: The Fractured But Whole won’t be coming to [the Nintendo] Switch," a representative for the South Park studio via Comedy Central confirmed to IGN when asked about the tweet. Ubisoft, which is publishing and developing the sequel, declined to comment.
The tweet appears to merely have been a reference to the 2006 South Park season 10 storyline in which Cartman, unwilling to wait three weeks for the release of the Nintendo Wii, attempted to cryogenically freeze himself to skip over that period of time, timed to the blizzard hitting the eastern coast of the U.S. earlier this week.
Originally revealed at E3 2015, Ubisoft announced that The Fractured But Whole had been delayed again outside of its most recently planned launch window of the first quarter of 2017. At E3 2016, we got an extended preview of South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is currently slated for release sometime in Ubisoft's next fiscal year, which begins on April 1, and ends on March 31, 2018, on PS4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
