As winter takes hold and the festive season approaches, gaming website Rock Paper Shotgun (RPS) wraps up its work to take a well-deserved break. The team at RPS has sent out a friendly reminder that they are on their winter holiday and won't be back until January 2024. They humbly request their readers and PRs to refrain from sending emails until then.
Despite taking a hiatus, RPS ensures its readers are not left without entertainment and fun reads during the holiday season. They have planned a series of scheduled posts known as 'hashtag content' that will be available for their audience even as they enjoy their break. This proves their commitment to their readership and their love for the community they've built.
Among the content scheduled is the final reveal in RPS's Advent Calendar, which promises to unveil the Game of The Year 2023. The team teases that this might be an expected reveal, as suggestions on Discord predict that many already know which game will take the title. Nonetheless, the staff at RPS is keeping up with the holiday traditions, including charades, by playfully concealing the game's name until the official announcement. Fans are encouraged to be on-site at 1pm GMT on the day of the reveal to share in the excitement.
In addition to the Game of The Year reveal, RPS has prepared 'Selection Boxes.' These are personal picks from staff members featuring games they believe deserved more attention throughout the year. These games might not have made it on the Advent Calendar but surely made an impression on the RPS team. The 'Selection Boxes' will offer readers insights into games that stood out to different team members and might be worth checking out.
RPS further supports their readers' gaming interests by providing a series of Year in Review roundups. These roundups will keep readers informed about the most noteworthy moments and trends in the gaming industry, ensuring they don't lose track of time. From reviewing the best games and features of the year to looking at gaming guides that defined 2023, RPS is committed to providing comprehensive content that reflects on the year passed.
One of the many highlights for RPS readers will be the unlockable Supporter-funded posts. These will be made accessible to everyone and can be found under the 'Latest feed' or the 'From The Archive' tag. Here, readers will also find a plethora of other posts that have hitherto been exclusive, providing a wealth of content to enjoy over the break.
As a humorous treat, RPS will continue its tradition of Christmas Crackers, which are jokes so awfully good they'll make you chuckle and roll your eyes in equal measure. These will be posted every day during the break to keep spirits high and jokes flowing.
As the RPS team bids farewell for the year, they do so from the past, already preparing all the engaging content they've highlighted. While the readers go through the offerings, team members are likely to be found basking in the festive atmosphere, indulging in chocolates, and pondering over the gaming possibilities that 2024 might bring.
Readers are invited to join the holiday conversation by visiting the comments section to share their own gaming resolutions for the coming year. Whether it's playing more indie games or conquering their backlogs, everyone has gaming ambitions for 2024. RPS expresses its sincere thanks to its community for their support and vows to return next year with more passion, more games, and more excitement. They eagerly look forward to reconvening with their readers, hopefully without too much of a New Year's hangover, on January 2nd, 2024.
