The teams at developer Obsidian and publisher Ubisoft are launching an official E3 2013 trailer for South Park: The Stick of Truth, designed mainly to reacquaint fans with the core premise of the game and the cast of characters.

The gameplay looks very similar to what was shown in the E3 trailer for the game in 2012, back when the now defunct THQ was in charge of publishing.

Obsidian has told fans of the television show that many of their favorite characters and situations will be featured in the game, which will see the player take on the role of a newcomer to the sleepy, mountain town.

South Park: The Stick of Truth is set to launch later in the year on the PC, the PlayStation 3 from Sony and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft.
