South Park Fractured But Whole Non Binary Gender Option

Content warning This article mentions transphobic violence, gender dysphoria. If you are not comfy with reading about this kind of topic, we suggest you accept a step back.

In near video games, the role player’s character either has a preselected binary gender, or tin can exist ready as merely male person or female person. This page will list games that meet at least one of the following criteria:

• allow the player to create their character every bit specifically nonbinary (often by selecting an option for atypical they pronouns/entering custom pronouns) or
• have a player character cosmos process with no reference to gender at all.

So, the role player characters in games on this page are not
canonically
nonbinary, simply they can be nonbinary based on how one plays. For characters that
canonically
accept a gender outside the male-or-female binary, come across Nonbinary gender in fiction#Video games.

(Games are listed chronologically by twelvemonth of first release, or by the year that a nonbinary player character selection was introduced, whichever is later.)
