South Park: The Stick of Truth is coming to Switch, Ubisoft has announced. The game will release digitally on the eShop by September. Ubisoft confirmed the news in its latest financial report today.

The Super Rare edition will include an exclusive sticker as well as three trading cards randomly selected from the five-card set.

At the Nintendo Gaming Lounge, featured in the San Diego ballroom of the Marriott Marquis & Marina adjacent to the San Diego Convention Center, fans will be able to go hands on with a variety of Switch games including Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Other highlights include a special dance floor for Just Dance 2019, a family-friendly challenge in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and a photo opportunity in front of a colorful backdrop inspired by Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

The Banner Saga Trilogy boxart

Last week, The Banner Saga Trilogy was announced for Switch. All three entries will be bundled together in a single package, including the upcoming Banner Saga 3.

Unfortunately, it’s starting to look like all titles won’t be offered on the same cartridge. The boxart has been posted on Amazon, revealing that an internet download is required. Often in these situations, it means that one (or more) of the games will be a digital download. We’ll let you know if and when we receive clarification.

The Banner Saga Trilogy launches this summer. Amazon has pre-orders here.
