History Trivia / SouthParkTheStickOfTruth

* OneOfUs: Either [[spoiler: one of New Kid's parents]] or [[spoiler: someone in the government]] must've played VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim, considering [[spoiler: the New Kid's actual name (or government designation) is Dovahkiin]].

* HeyItsThatVoice: ColleenOshaughnessey provides some of the female voices.

** A Chinpokomon figure resembling [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Lucario]] with more Egyptian elements was [[http://spsot.wikia.com/wiki/Scrapped_Content#Scrapped_Chinpokomon planned for the game]], but ultimately scrapped.

* [[BannedInChina Banned In Germany]](for about a month): The German release had to be recalled in the last minute because they forgot that showing Swastikas and the Hitler salute is illegal in Germany and needed some time to censor them.

** Under THQ, the game was going to have several European language dubs, using the show's respective voice cast in each language - dubbed trailers were even made. When the assets were sold to Ubisoft, the dubs were scrapped, and each country only got translated text with English voices. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], Ubisoft is based in France, where dubbing is almost always favored.

** [[http://spsot.wikia.com/wiki/Scrapped_content There were to be more Facebook friends for New Kid to add]], one of them being Kenny's former girlfriend Kelly from "Rainforest Schmainforest". Kelly alludes to being "emotionally damaged" and requests that the player be Facebook friends with her rather than make her commit to an actual relationship.

** A Game Informer magazine cover showed an [[http://media1.gameinformer.com/imagefeed/featured/thq/southpark/cov_225_l.jpg]] alternate, unused costume design for Kenny as a princess. Instead of wearing the purple Zelda-esque dress, he was to wear an orange dress and would not wear his parka underneath, allowing his face to be exposed. Due to the exposure of his face, he was also shown to be wearing makeup. This was most likely scrapped because it made him unrecognizable and too much like an actual female, due to the show's art style.

** Clyde was also to be another final boss (as seen in the early trailer), while the Vampire Kids, Ginger Kids, and Hippies were other types of enemies that were excluded.

* DevelopmentHell: The game was supposed to be released in late 2012 before being delayed. Twice. Then, it was delayed again, its new release date set in 2014. This has been almost entirely due to Parker and Stone constantly rewriting the script. The season 17 episode "Black Friday" had Cartman raging about the worthlessness of pre-orders for video games, and sarcasm around the game "coming soon."

** The Woodland Critters and Crab People were to be battle bosses, but were cut through production of the game.

** At San Diego Comic-Con 2013, Trey Parker [[http://www.polygon.com/2013/7/18/4536822/how-south-park-the-stick-of-truth-got-too-big revealed that the original script for the game was approximately 850 pages long]]. He was urged to trim the script, though he felt that eventually some of the discarded ideas could be used in the actual show. At one point, he'd thought of incorporating the game into the next season, but figured it would be more accessible as a standalone project.

When the publisher went bankrupt and the asset sold to Creator/{{Ubisoft}}, the release date was moved even further to December 11, 2013, then March 4, 2014.
** It's become so infamous that the show itself has referenced it. To paraphrase Cartman, dressed in his Stick of Truth outfit: "You know what you get when you reserve a game? A big dick in your mouth!"
