It’s that jolly time of the year, when the whole family gathers around the fireplace, fibrillating in anticipation of the long-awaited unwrapping ceremony, with the secret hope of finding a majestic PS4 (or better yet, a majestic PS4 AND a Playstation Plus subscription) instead of a boring wool sweater. Why, you ask? Because Resogun, that’s why!

Jokes aside, we really wanted to wish you a Happy Holidays on behalf of the whole Housemarque team! These first few weeks after the Resogun launch have been absolutely amazing for everyone involved with the project. Game ratings have been excellent, and the reaction from fans has been heartwarming, to say the least. Not a day goes by without us receiving congratulatory emails, Tweets, and tons of community love.

We love to watch Resogun fans interact. With such multilayered play, it’s great to see healthy and collaborative online discussions on the best strategies to approach our game. If you feel like you could use some tips, make sure to visit our Facebook page, where we share some hints and tips to help you improve your leaderboard standings every day.

As a company, Housemarque has been around since 1995. To this day, we always managed to make the kind of games we love to play. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but as they say, success is so much sweeter when it’s not just handed to you. The fact that there’s a lot of you out there sharing our same passion is pretty much the coolest thing ever, so thank again you for that.

Do take some well deserved time off, enjoy the festivities, and refine your Resogun skills. You’re gonna need ‘em sharp in 2014, as the competition is gonna be fierce. Also, make sure to try some of the other PS4 games. There’s a lot of talented dev teams out there that deserve your time and attention — and if you’re lucky, you might see us out there playing, too.

With that, we bid you all a Merry Holiday Season.
