Christmas Massacre, a gruesome new game, banned on Xbox and Switch
A Christmas-themed slasher game called Christmas Massacre has recently been causing a stir among gamers on social media. However, it seems that the game has been banned on both Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles, and will only be available on PlayStation, according to the developers.
80s-inspired gore-drenched stealth slasher with PS1-style graphics
Christmas Massacre is described as an 80s inspired, gore-drenched stealth slasher game with graphics reminiscent of the PlayStation 1 era. The game's disturbing trailer features a man named Larry, dressed as Santa, who is prompted by his Christmas tree to embark on a killing spree.
Release date and previous games by creators Puppet Combo
The game is set to be released on November 17th for both PS4 and PS5. Puppet Combo, the creators of Christmas Massacre, have previously released similarly gory games on all three major consoles. Some of their previous titles include Nun Massacre, Stay Out Of The House, and Bloodwash.
Only PlayStation approves the game, raising questions about criteria
Interestingly, Puppet Combo revealed that Nintendo and Xbox have deemed Christmas Massacre "too much" and have banned it from their consoles. Puppet Combo expressed their frustration on social media, stating that they had invested a significant amount of money into a Switch port that they are now unable to release. This decision has raised questions about the criteria for allowing violent games on consoles, especially considering the existence of other violent titles that are currently available.
Developers claim censorship was not an option
When asked why they didn't censor the game to meet the consoles' standards, Puppet Combo responded that they were not given the option to do so. It remains unclear why the game was deemed too gory for Nintendo and Xbox, while other violent games are allowed.
