South Park will return to video games with a new multiplayer project from Question, an independent studio with a history of experimental first-person games.

Developer Question announced the surprising collaboration in a new job listing for a lead level designer position, which describes the project as "a new video game set in the world of South Park." While the listing doesn't explicitly confirm any more details about the project, it does list "previous multiplayer level design" experience as a requirement for successful applicants.

The Magic Circle was a single-player existential comedy about a video game protagonist struggling for agency against the creators who abandoned them. The Blackout Club is a co-op horror game with a story that features live, sometimes unexpected performances from a cast of voice actors. As it happens, The Blackout Club's three-year-long main narrative thread just concluded last month, so this is the perfect time for Question to start scaling up work on its next project.
