Ubisoft has confirmed that South Park: The Fractured But Whole will be releasing on October 17th 2017. The game is the direct sequel to South Park: The Stick of Truth.
The game's release date has been pushed back several times for different reasons. When the game was first announced back in June 2016 the game was scheduled to launch in December that same year, but in September Ubisoft announced that it had to delay the game to "meets the high expectations of fans."
In February 2017 Ubisoft delayed the game for the second time without giving an explanation. Since that time the studio refused to comment on when it was planning to release the game, but has now confirmed that the game will be launching in October.
The previous title, South Park: The Stick of Truth, also faced a number of delays before it was eventually released in March 2014.
After the events of South Park: The Stick of Truth, the children of South Park become role-playing superheroes. However, a falling-out over Cartman's planned film franchise splinters the boys into two groups, with some calling for a civil war to make their own franchise.
In the game players once again play as "The New Kid", though players will also be able to select their gender if they wish to do so.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole launches on October 17th 2017 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

This comment has been removed. Ubi management must be so out of touch with their game developers. How else can you be over 1 year off on a release date?
