Obsidian’s South Park Title Pushed to 2013

Obsidian and THQ’s recently titled South Park: The Stick of Truth will miss its initial 2012 release projection, as the publisher has announced that the RPG won’t be seen until the first quarter of 2013.

This will put the game in THQ’s fiscal fourth quarter, which starts January 1, 2013. No reasoning for the delay has been supplied, but Obsidian Entertainment was hit with layoffs in March.

The Stick of Truth now joins Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite in the delayed-to-2013 club. Were you looking forward to this RPG? Do you believe the layoffs are to blame? Let us know what you think in the comments below, or discuss South Park: The Stick of Truth in our forums.
