As of right now, there's no word on what this game will be called, how it will play, or if it will be related to Ubisoft's two South Park RPGs. It's also unclear who is developing the game as THQ Nordic is just the publisher. THQ Nordic appears to have wrangled the rights back from Ubisoft as it teased a new South Park game during the publisher's digital showcase which saw reveals for games like Alone in the Dark and SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. The livestream ended with a note saying there were 26 unannounced games still in development, before it faded out and the South Park Digital Studios logo appeared on screen. A New South Park game appears to be in the works at THQ Nordic. Given South Park is one of the biggest IP out there, it has a long history with video games dating back to the 90s.

Tatis Jr. suspended 80 games for banned substance (MLB.com)

WASHINGTON -- The Padres have played their entire season without Fernando Tatis Jr., eagerly awaiting the return of their superstar shortstop.

The 23-year-old had been sidelined since undergoing surgery to repair the scaphoid bone in his left wrist on March 16.

Fernando Tatis Jr. tested positive for Clostebol, a performance-enhancing substance, and will miss the remainder of the season.

He will lose approximately $1.39 million of his $7 million salary for the first 32 games of next season, with the exact number to be determined by how many days he misses. "We were hoping that from the offseason to now that there would be some maturity, and obviously with the news today, it's more of a pattern and it's something that we've got to dig a bit more into. The remainder of the suspension will be served at the beginning of the 2023 season. The suspension will cost Tatis a maximum of $2.9 million. Last year, he was even better, signing the record deal, finishing third in MVP voting and solidifying himself as one of the game's finest players. He wasn't. Ultimately supportive of that and want to make sure he understands that,'' he said. "I think the biggest thing just from our standpoint, from a baseball standpoint, there's a drug policy in place.

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has been suspended 80 games for violating MLB's performance-enhancing drug policy.

He will lose approximately $1.39 million of his $7 million salary for the first 32 games of next season, with the exact number to be determined by how many days he misses. He will miss the remaining 48 regular-season games this season and the first 32 games next year. "We fully support the Program and are hopeful Fernando will learn from this experience." A second violation earns a suspension equal to the total number of championship season games in the league. "There is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than on the field competing with my teammates," he wrote. I failed to do so."

The others were Moises Alou, who missed the 1999 season because of a torn ACL, and Sandy Koufax, who retired after winning a Cy Young in 1966. The Padres stripped their farm system bare while in pursuit of Soto, and others, because they saw an opportunity to go for it, a belief rooted largely in what the team accomplished without Tatis. With him back in the lineup, they saw a legitimate championship contender. He is now the third player in the expansion era (since 1961) to finish within the top three in MVP voting and then miss the entire following season, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. Tatis is one of the most captivating stars in the game, but over the course of his first four seasons he will have played in only 273 of a possible 546 regular-season games. Tatis later added that he is "completely devastated," writing: "There is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than on the field competing with my teammates. Tatis, the 23-year-old superstar shortstop who had already emerged as one of the faces of the sport, was only days away from coming back from the wrist injury that had kept him out all season.

Breaking down the stunning development for both redraft and dynasty leagues.

Of course, it's not a dilemma we should have to have, which is the infuriating part of it all. I'd say performance is the least of his concerns and would still regard him as one of the top 2-3 assets in dynasty. After all, he tested positive for what's known to be a performance enhancer, and when performance enhancers are linked to the game's best performer, it's certain to raise an eyebrow. We were hoping that from the offseason to now that there would be some maturity, and obviously with the news today, it's more of a pattern and it's something that we've got to to dig a bit more into. The exceptions are generally in the latter stages of their career and subject to natural decline anyway. If it's me, I'm probably not considering it until the middle of Round 2. It's a devastating development, to all who drafted Tatis and to all who planned to next year. Tatis says it was an honest mistake, that the steroid he tested positive for, Clostebol, is found in a medication he was using to treat ringworm. In redraft, the answer is simple: you drop him. But at the end of the day, it's one thing to say it. Some even wondered if he might make it back before Ronald Acuña, the primary challenger to Tatis' claim of best in the game, who was himself working his way back from a torn ACL. Who wouldn't jump at the chance to stash him away for an eventual and likely standings-altering payoff?
