"South Park: The Fractured But Whole" is getting ready to introduce its unapologetically offensive humor to the Nintendo Switch, as the developers of the game have announced a hybrid handheld console version.

Ubisoft, developer and publisher of "South Park: The Fractured But Whole," will be released on the Switch come Apr. 24. The Switch version will also include the first two downloadable contents (DLCs) of the game titled "Danger Deck" and "From Dusk Til Casa Bonita" at a cost though and will not be included in the base price of the Switch version.

This Switch version will also have nothing new in content or bonuses compared to the PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox One and PC versions, though it will have all the content available on those versions. That includes all the classes and DLC classes of the game should the players make the additional purchase, as well as the usual story and the "outrageously offensive superhero adventure" that comes along with it intact.

Meanwhile, a third DLC is reportedly on the way for the game titled "Bring the Crunch" and is set to be released during summer of this year. The said third DLC will also be available for the Switch version for purchase, though not many details have been revealed about it at the moment since the second DLC, "From Dusk Til Casa Bonita," will be arriving on Mar. 20. This means the announcements for the third DLC might only occur after the second's launch.

For those unfamiliar with the game, "South Park: The Fractured But Whole" is the direct sequel to 2014's "South Park: The Stick of Truth." "The Fractured But Whole" was released in October last year and follows closely in the footsteps of its predecessor in which it is a turn-based roleplaying game (RPG) set in the "South Park" universe. As such, the game utilizes tried and tested trademarks of the franchise such as offensive and sometimes racist jokes, toilet humor and graphic cartoon violence.

All this will now be available on the Nintendo Switch on the aforementioned date of Apr. 24.
