After Ubisoft went radio-silent on South Park: The Fractured But Whole rumors quickly started circulating that the project is in development hell. Since neither the creators of the show nor Ubisoft were willing to comment on its fate most people either completely forgot about its existence or just assumed it had been silently put on the back-burner. While we still have no idea what caused all of the delays and lack of communication, you'll be glad to hear that South Park: The Fractured But Whole is not only still in development, but also coming in the relatively near future - October 17th!

This information comes to us via the recently posted "The Farting Vigilante" trailer which showcases Coon and Friends, along with the "New Kid", doing what they do best - farting all over innocent people and animals. Now with that lovely image stuck in your head, here's the trailer:

The South Park humor aside, the one part of the trailer that really caught my eye was the mention of dual-classing. Besides the hilarious verbal beat-downs Cartman will deliver for any potential Jew class offshoots, the reason this is so intriguing is because it means the RPG elements are getting a bit of an upgrade. Chances are it'll still be a rather basic system so everyone can enjoy the story, but having more options and strategies available to players is definitely something I can appreciate, especially given how boring playing a Mage in the original was.
