In addition to the tower defense title released back in 2009, South Park: Let’s Go Tower Defense Play, Microsoft has a deal to exclusively publish a second title based on the South Park brand.
This is according to Prithvi Virasinghe, creative director of 345 Games, who recently spoke with Joystiq. 345 Games is the studio established earlier this year to produce games based on various Comedy Central and Spike TV properties. Deadliest Warrior and Ugly Americans were both planned as games to be out this summer at the time, and I wondered if a South Park game might be next. Joystiq inquired about that very subject and learned of the Microsoft deal.
“Right now, South Park is actually in a first-party deal with Microsoft Studios, who published the first game, and they’re doing a second game as well,” Virasinghe said. “After that, that first-party exclusivity window expires, and we get a shot of taking that back.”
