South Park: The Fractured But Whole offers a smelly VR experience only at conventions

South Park: The Fractured But Whole will offer a unique virtual reality experience that can’t be bought with money. The Nosulus Rift experience will only be available to try at conventions around the world, and won’t be sold to take home.

Why? Because it adds something most VR doesn’t: the sense of smell through a full face mask.

Farts will be a powerful weapon in South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and the Nosulus Rift will bring the odour from the virtual attack into reality.

“Through a specifically produced technology, the Nosulus Rift odour virtual reality mask will deliver the right smell each time the player makes use of his nefarious powers,” says Ubisoft.

The Nosulus Rift will debut at Gamescom in Germany this week and will be at select events around the world leading up to South Park: The Fractured But Whole’s release on December 6. We’re not yet sure if it will be playable at EB Expo in Sydney or PAX Aus in Melbourne.
