Today's Nintendo Direct is chopped full of surprises, from Okami HD being announced for the Switch to Luigi's Mansion coming to the 3DS there is indeed plenty of good games on the way and South Park: The Fractured But Whole is no exception.

This news comes directly from the Nintendo Direct live stream, which has confirmed that the game will be released in late April for the Nintendo Switch. Despite no Switch-exclusive features being added to the game, those who purchase the Switch port will have access to all the post-launch content, which can be purchased individually or by buying the Season Pass.

Originally released on October 17, 2017, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One  South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a sequel to 2014's South Park: The Stick of Truth. In The Fractured But Whole, players once again control the new kid in the titular town who partakes in an epic role-playing adventure with notable characters from the hit TV show who are split into two rival superhero teams trying to create their own superhero media franchises.
