Feargus Urquhart Talks South Park: The Stick of Truth

Speaking with Polygon’s Brian Crecente as part of a larger interview, Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart talked about the stresses of developing South Park: The Stick of Truth, and also of the fact that he’s currently reaching out to Ubisoft to talk about the title’s future. A short snippet:

“We had always talked about it, extending the story through DLC, it was just stuff on paper,” Urquhart said. “But it never went beyond talking about it. That was when THQ was involved. When it moved to Ubisoft, there was more pressure to get it done. I think that became the priority, so we got it done.”

Once the game was wrapped, Parker and Stone needed to step away from the stress of the game.

And it wasn’t just them. Ushering the title through the process of a company break-up while delivering a game that lived up to the expectations of South Park’s many fans was daunting.

That’s why it’s just now, nearly a year after publishing the game, that Urquhart and the team at Obsidian are gently nudging Ubisoft about the game’s future.
