Ubisoft revealed today South Park: The Stick of Truth, developed by Obsidian Entertainment, has yet again been delayed. It is now scheduled to release March 4th in North America and March 7th in Europe.

On one hand, the game would have been massacred this last quarter with next-gen and every other big release still leaving behind a mile-deep trail in their wake for this game to do as well as it could do. Plus it at least assures me that Obsidian aren't being made to rush through the development to meet a deadline that big publishers normally strongarm the studio into making.

On the other hand, it's been delayed way too many times. You get closer to it, then it's pushed back yet again. =(

And seeing a turn-based battle system appear in this is a bit of a refreshing surprise. I wasn't expecting South Park of all games to remember that turn-based RPGs are still a viable choice of game design in a console video game in 2013/4. And a turn-based RPG with a Paper Mario RPG battle system as well, which is very welcome.
