The recently aired episode of South Park featured a surprisingly new look at gameplay in GTA 6.
There has been strong anticipation for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI next month, and it has become the subject of pop culture jokes and punchlines due to the massive delay in its development. Now, the hit animated series has also poked fun at its upcoming release, but in a surprising way.
New South Park Episode Features GTA 6 Gameplay Footage
In the recently aired new episode of South Park season 29 titled "Guinea Pig on a Stick," new gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto VI was shown in one of the scenes.
Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and a younger-looking Randy went to a local cattle ranch to meet with an insider and check out a sneak peek of the upcoming video game on television.
A woman appeared to show gameplay footage featuring Jason and Lucia walking along the beach before cutting to a cinematic shot of a dog pooping. Then, it shifts to third-person gameplay featuring Jason, complete with a minimap in the corner.
It was explained that players can pick up the bagged dog poop and throw it at an NPC. The footage demonstrated Jason doing just that. When the NPC victim was angry at the action, he repeated the attack.
This is a surprising moment for fans since there was no previous announcement that the show would have exclusive gameplay footage of the upcoming game. The partnership was formed to add to the hype on its release next month.
It's on brand for the show to showcase "dog poop" gameplay as their way to feature a sneak peek at the game. It also aligns with the episode itself, which satirizes the issue of food inflation.
