Per wiki policy, this page is Spoilers Off!
- Cyberpunk
- It will even have Story Arcs and RPG Elements from popular games of the Cyberpunk genre, such as Deus Ex, System Shock, and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077.
- The Big Bad will either be the scientists who created The New Kid, Leslie Meyers will be Back from the Dead and become a Captain Ersatz of SHODAN, Cartman who want revenge on the New Kid, or perhaps both.
- Space Opera
- Potential factions could include The Federation led by Cartman, The Empire led by Kenny, and La Résistance led by Kyle in opposition to both sides, with story elements recycled from various Star Wars games and Mass Effect.
- Anime
- Most likely with the kids in their various Let's Fighting Love personae.
- Apocalypse and Post-Apocalypse
- There's a strong chance that this could happen, given that this yet to be parodied. The game could take place when and after President Garrison nukes the world and there will be several references made about the genre ranging from the Mad Max film (where Mel Gibson will serve as a boss) to Ubisoft's very own Far Cry: New Dawn.
- If that happens, there will definitely be an awful lot of Fallout lampooning.

- Survival Horror
- Potentially as a DLC scenario parodying Resident Evil.
- Extra bonus points if the male voices are Richard Steven Horvitz, Bumper Robinson, and David Tennant.
- Kyle: Oh my God....the New Kid totally Yojimbo'd us!
Cartman: Oh my God....the New Kid totally A Fistful of Dollars'd us!
- Because at the end of Stick of Truth he said "screw you guys, I'm going home."
- Jossed. They weren't dragged in, they went into their base out of curiosity.
- Because why not?
- So long as it's better than the DT movie...
- He was essentially this in Good Times with Weapons, so I'd say it could easily happen again.
- Of course he's Disc One; don't you know the Hero and Villain always pull an Enemy Mine in Act Three to defeat the greater evil? Besides, he says in the trailer that somebody paid him to do it!
- Confirmed. The true villain is Mitch Conner.
- The game's in-game justification is that since the kids are playing superheroes, nothing the New Kid did in the last game matters and he has to start from square one as a superhero.
- Stick of Truth already heavily established that the New Kid considers Butters his best friend out of all the kids, so it's likely that as Professor Chaos, Butters may try to capitalize on that fact to get the New Kid to side with him.
- If you're a girl, you could become a Dark Action Girl, with the power to make good guys feel bad about hitting you. Then one of the heroes ends up Dating Catwoman!
- Confirmed, but only as The Stinger.
- After the events of Stick of Truth, it's possible that New Kid will likely become more used to the weirdness and may be a bit too used to how he's had to deal with combat-heavy situations. The skills he's learned and feats he's accomplished may have make him arrogant to the point where he may think he's invincible, a mindset that even in the South Park universe can get someone like the New Kid in serious trouble. The New Kid may be faced with things like his Drunk with Power mentality alienating his friends and family, he may become cocky enough to openly fight people he doesn't like even if he may not be justified in doing so and probably place himself in trouble with the law as a result, and him following the belief he's stronger than anyone may land him a hardcore Break the Haughty moment when he finds an opponent he can't defeat.
- Jossed.
- It would be cool to fight a giant foe that could attack both party members at once because it's so big, especially since one of the main criticisms of the first game was that it was too easy. If nothing else, Mecha Streisand would be a good choice for the Superboss .
- Alternatively, you could fight Mecha Streisand twice, with the first battle being against the original version from her debut episode, and the rematch against the upgraded version from later episodes.
- Since the game will be going by the superhero theme, a boss fight with Mecha Streisand may be used to parody the Toku genre, possibly with a scenario which involves the New Kid and his teammates turning giant-sized themselves, or maybe even them piloting a Humongous Mecha with its own set of abilities.
- Jossed.
- Cthulhu doesn't show up. You fight Shub-Niggurath instead.
- Or he'll use his anime form as an ultimate form.
- Does having a Humongous Mecha made out of underpaid Mexican immigrants count? Because I guess this is confirmed.
- Mysterion (aka Kenny) gets disturbing news that his sister Karen has been kidnapped and promptly gets the New Kid to help him find her, leading up to a boss fight where Mysterion and the New Kid will have to protect Karen from her kidnapper.
- The Coon (aka Cartman), fully aware that the New Kid is more powerful than he is, may use it to his advantage by getting the New Kid to fight some foes that he was never able to take down before but wanted to, Cesar Milan and the Earth Day People from the ‘Earth Day Brainwashing Festival’ episode are some possible examples.
- The Mosquito (aka Clyde), feeling guilty about everything he put the New Kid through during the events of Stick of Truth, actually plans out a mission with the New Kid’s benefit in mind as a way to help get the New Kid to be willing to forgive him and hopefully make him willing to be friends with Clyde again.
- Confirmed. Several of your friends have crap that they need your help to deal with, and you usually get their character sheets as a reward.
- Yes and no. due to where the New Kid starts his adventure, he's basically stuck with Cartman, though the Freedom Pals do note that they wish circumstances were different.
- Somewhat jossed, while Kevin does dress up as a fantasy character, he does so at the start of the game just shortly before the kids break-off the Fighters of Zaron game.
- Jossed.
- CONFIRMED! You travel back in time to fight the New Kid as King Douchebag.
- Jossed.
- The only way to get him to fight you would to be as un-PC as possible to the point he will personally come and fight the kids. May also double as one hell of a Final-Exam Boss.
- That would be even better than getting to fight Shelly!
- While him being a boss is unknown; he is revealed to be in the game. Cartman opens a storage house, thinking that he didn't want to do this, indicating that PC Principal may be some sort of Godzilla Threshold.
- Considering all the crap Cartman's done as The Coon (You remember him releasing Cthulu, right?) I now put money on PC Principal being the Final Boss - or the first stage of a final boss, anyway.
- Jossed; PC Principal is not a boss, but he does teach you how to punch someone for making Microagressions.
- It is being published by Ubisoft after all.
- Confirmed. The game has a season pass that includes two story-based DLC packs, one that gives you a “danger room”-like bonus area to fight in and there is a DLC pack that includes costumes and artifacts that reference Stick of Truth.
- In her debut, and to date only episode on the show, she created an unnamed alter ego after she discovered Butters's Professor Chaos Costume.
- I'd buy this game for the sole pleasure of beating her up.
- Jossed, but you do get to beat up Stephen.
- Jossed.
- Jossed; You're the sidekick to Captain Diabetes.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Confirmed, but the circumstances were different from the above. On Day 3, Cartman sends you to spy on The Freedom Pals.
- Partially confirmed, but only the parts regarding movies and Netflix.
- Jossed.
- Alternatively, he appears in the Game Over screen and gives you some tips on what you could have done to not die.
- Captain Hindsight appears as a possible Coonstagram friend, and you can visit his base.
- Mysterion is evidently the leader of the Anti-Coon faction, so he's probably a major player.
- That's not him. Professor Timothy is the leader of the Freedom Pals.
- Jossed.
- Kyle: You can't kill them Coon, superheroes don't kill!
Cartman: Yuh-huh! Marvel's heroes do it all the time!
Stan: Wait, why aren't you wearing your mask?
Cartman: Marvel's heroes are too cool for the Secret Identity thing. Everyone knows who they are.
Kenny: Whatever! Let's just go stop a bank robbery or something.
Cartman: Bank robbers are beneath Marvel's heroes. They're to busy visiting museums and expos about how cool they are.
Kyle: WHY DOES ANYONE EVEN CONSIDER THESE GUYS HEROES!?
- Confirmed in that they repeatedly point out how skewed Marvel's movie preferences are, especially a line in the trailer about how the black hero doesn't get a movie until Phase 3. Which in turn causes the Civil War.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. The Member Berries do appear, however, as collectables.
- Alternatively, the third game may continue the superhero theme, but gameplay may change to an RPG Fighting Game hybrid with the New Kid using custom moves and the return of Artifacts to enhance their combat prowess, essentially a cross between Injustice 2 and the Dragon Ball Xenoverse Games
- Jossed.
- Zombie Chef would be perfect for a Blackest Night parody. He could be South Park's equivalent of Black Hand and go around reviving other dead characters like Pip, Ms Choksondik and Saddam Hussein as zombies.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Confirmed by Game Informer! Characters go to "Freeman's Tacos" where Morgan Freeman upgrades your abilities, doubling as a Shout-Out to his role as Lucius Fox.
- Partially true: Coon and Friends ends up reuniting, but Cartman as Mitch Conner goes rogue and becomes the main villain.
- Big Bad Government Guy (assuming he survived the events of The Stick of Truth)
- PC Principal
- ManBearPig (or Al Gore showing up dressed as him)
- Someone entirely new?
- Jossed.
- Alternatively, as a way of tying in to Cartman being the New Kid's mentor (moreso if they stay purely aligned with Coon and Friends), Heidi may act as something of a Cool Big Sis toward the New Kid (who's already established as being a year younger than the other fourth graders) and provide them with stuff like emotional support, advice, or leads on possible side quests.
- Currently Jossed. However, the Story DLC that will be arriving may change that.
- Jossed, Ubisoft has stated they're no longer updating the game so, no more DLC.
- Oh I 'member.
- Oh! 'Member Final Fantasy II for the SNES?
- Member Berries could also appear on the Load/Save screen, or narrating a Previously on… recap. 'Member what happened last time? Oh I 'member!
- Confirmed. You'll be able to find Member Berries at various points in the game. Standing next to them will allow you to hear nostalgic stuff.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. Gerald spends the entirety of the game cheesed off his gourd.
- Jossed.
As for Gerald, after the fight, you have the option of telling Sheila, who freaks out and goes postal on Gerald, screaming that she wants a divorce and stating her intention to turn her over to the police for nearly causing World War III, leading to another boss fight that ends with Sheila being knocked out, and having no memory of Gerald being a troll, and Gerald gives the New Kid a special item, while vowing to never troll again in exchange for the New Kid not telling anyone about SkankHunt42. Of course, the player can still tell the rest of the girls, and they come to feel like total jackasses for taking it too seriously, immediately rushing out of the girl's room to reconcile with their boyfriends. Trying to tell Sheila again will just earn you a rebuff from her, and telling Butters will cause him to immediately email this information to Charlotte, who, unfortunately, doesn't believe him and cuts off all contact with him, which causes Butters to advance his plans quicker than initially thought.
- Jossed.
- Confirmed in that the town is going through a weird crime spree including an increase in drug usage and almost every adult black character is being arrested. Jossed in that it is all very pertinent to the plot.
- Well, we do see Professor Chaos looking out his window at Randy, drunk in the street.
- Randy is a miniboss, but does make appearances throughout the story.
- Partially true; The real final boss is Mitch Conner and Mitch Conner from an alternate universe, possessing both The Coon and Human Kite.
- More likely it'll be Kyle given his tendency to go full-blown Knight Templar on certain issues and certain actions he took in season 21.
- Alternatively, the kids have found a way to make their powers real somehow.
- Mysterion mentions how the New Kid and he are the only ones with actual superpowers outside the game, but doesn't elaborate on how things like Tweek shooting lightning work.
- He could only be saying that to comfort The New Kid. Not to mention, NOT all of the people of South Park drank the cat piss (Sixth Graders, Crab People, Raisins Girls, City Ninjas, Jared Fogle, etc.), so there are still people that are being hurt by the kids' powers WITHOUT the excuse of being under the influence of cat piss.
- He (Mysterion) was referencing New Kids' farting powers, but even if he was trying to make New Kid feel better, what he said still stands. New Kid has internet popularity powers as confirmed in the previous game. As for the fighters, Mitch hired the sixth graders and City Ninjas so that they would play along, the others don't make sense, but the town's food or water could be spiked with the drug.
- Jossed.
- Well, it's Jossed in the sense that none of Buttlord's family are Assassins, nor is Buttlord himself unless he picked the Assassin class, but that class has little to nothing to do with the Brotherhood aside from a few references. That being said, that does not indicate whether or not Expies of the Assassin's Brotherhood and Expies of the Templars will ever appear in a future game.
- It should also be noted that the Human Kite can and will attack you and the others if the Coon isn't in range. Since Mysterion dies when he hits 0 HP, either Kyle is being forced to commit murder or is okay with doing so to "fuck with Cartman".
- This also means that Mitch Connor's mom is also an Eldritch Abomination.
- Either that, or she's just an extension of his own. A desperate attempt to get out of the whole situation.
- This troper actually has the theory that Mitch Connor is actually yet another avatar/incarnation of one of the more famous Elder Gods created by H. P. Lovecraft, the malevolent Nyarlathotep. Much like Mitch, he's an entity that creates chaos and havoc for seemingly no true reason beyond amusement, and much like the other Old Gods, he creates confusion and madness. He may even alter people's memories so they think that Mitch Connor was their idea all along. And much like Mitch does in the finale, Nyarlathotep can take on multiple, separate identities.
- Alternatively, Female!New Kid may have simply disguised her voice, since her parents lied about her gender to others to help protect her identity, she may have had to develop her own methods to hide her gender from others. And deliberately making her voice sound more boyish to hide her true voice may be one such method.
- Jossed
- Pretty much Jossed. The New Kid saying or mouthing anything is a bug the developers have acknowledged and tried to fix, plus there's not much basis in either of the two games as to why the New Kid would be close to Craig.
- Mitch Conner is able to pay for his various schemes because he is a member of the Chamber of Commerce. How a hand puppet of a 10-year-old got on that is up for debate, but the adults of South Park are established to be very stupid. He was also able to kidnap them using sixth graders (presumably the genetically augmented hybrid monster ones, though a couple dozen could probably do it especially if they had weapons).
- Still that doesn't mean this Greater-Scope Villain wasn't involve in Mitch's scheme and we will soon find out his/her role in either the future DLC stories or in the next game.
Given that South Park: The Fractured But Whole was developed by Ubisoft, the same video game developer for the Far Cry series, Hurk can probably crossover to the South Park universe and his antics, such as blowing up monkeys, could easily fit in the comedy of South Park
- Jossed
- Jossed: Guillermo Del Toro doesn't make any appearance in the DLC and the celebrity to appear instead is Micheal Jackson, whom everybody mistakes as Corey Haim.
