As the year draws to a close and the holiday spirit fills the air, the team at Rock Paper Shotgun (RPS), a popular gaming website, prepares to take their well-deserved winter break. They send a cheerful reminder to their readers and public relations contacts: don't send emails until they're back in the new year!
Yet, they won't leave their audience high and dry. RPS has pre-scheduled a bounty of content to entertain and engage their readers throughout the festive period. The website's holiday plans are a testament to their commitment to providing continuous entertainment, even while the staff takes some time off to enjoy the wintry festivities themselves.
As excitement bubbles for what gaming delights await in the new year, RPS teases the revelation of their Game Of The Year 2023. There's an enchanting air of mystery, even though their community on Discord seems to think they've already cracked the code as to which game will take the coveted title. This playful exchange underlines the community-centric approach that RPS takes, engaging with their readers in a jovial dialogue that reflects the season's friendly gatherings and fun traditions.
The anticipation for the announcement only adds to the holiday excitement. The RPS Advent Calendar, a much-loved tradition, is closing in on its final reveal, which is sure to be a highlight for the website's regular visitors.
In addition to the Game Of The Year reveal, RPS has a number of other treats lined up. The RPS Selection Boxes offer an array of recommended games—those that narrowly missed a spot on the Advent Calendar or simply deserve a mention. This is a chance for the staff to share their personal favorites and hidden gems, providing a more personalized touch to the RPS offerings.
Moreover, they've planned a series of Year In Review roundups intended to help readers reflect on the year in gaming. From the Bestest Best reviews to highlighting significant trends through a 'guides perspective', these roundups document the evolving gaming landscape of the year. It's a nostalgic journey back through the highs and lows, and everything in between, of the past twelve months.
Demonstrating their generosity, RPS will also make Supporter-funded posts available to all readers. These posts can be found in the Latest feed and the From The Archive tag, ensuring there's an abundance of content to explore during the holiday downtime.
Of course, it wouldn't be an RPS holiday without a dose of humor. Their annual Christmas Crackers are set to provide comic relief, with a series of jokes that promise to be so cringe-worthy they're good. It's a lighthearted addition that's bound to bring groans and giggles to their community.
With all this content prepped and ready to go, the RPS team is set to take a step back and enjoy a bit of relaxation themselves. From the past, the team's farewell message assures readers that while they may be physically away from their desks, their presence will still be felt through the content they've curated.
In true holiday spirit, the RPS team encourages their readers to share their own game-related resolutions for the coming year. It's a way to look forward to new beginnings and experiences in the gaming world of 2024.
Until then, the team wishes everyone a joyful and restful holiday season. Expressing gratitude for the year gone by, they sign off with an invitation to reconnect in the new year.
The promise of their return on January 2, 2024, awaits. They hope their readers will return, reinvigorated by the festivities and ready to embrace another year of gaming adventures, with Rock Paper Shotgun as their trusted guide.
