Sony’s European Blog has announced the company’s plans for a Christmas celebration in Playstation Home. Entitled “Winter Wonderland,” a new space will be released on December 10 that will let players travel to Santa’s grotto, talk with elves, and apparently even the big man himself.
As usual, the space will contain mini-games, like one that will ask you to chop wood because an elf is too lazy. The games will otherwise revolve around completing preparations for the holiday proper, with prizes rewarded appropriately. Let’s hope the elf costume isn’t one of those prizes, as I’m creeped out enough by the NPC as it is.
Actually, the entire space is creepy. Santa looks like a drunken pedophile, and the elf (seen above) needs to lay off the illegal pharmaceuticals. Granted, Home has never been known for a fantastic art style (have you ever really looked at your avatar?), but this is a bit much.
