Saint Nick has actually made his reasonable share of looks throughout the computer game globe, from combating video games to farming sims. So hang those equipping by the smokeshaft with treatment, due to the fact that we’re placing a few of one of the most renowned variations of Santa Claus in computer game, making use of the one attribute any type of Santa worth his salt (or sugar) ought to have: jolliness.
12. Rotting Phantom Remains Santa ( Phasmophobia)

You would certainly much better beware, you would certainly much better not weep, you would certainly much better not pout, and also I do not assume I require to inform you why. Satan Claus is involving community. Phasmophobia chose to exchange out Vacation Joy for some excellent old Vacation Worry with their “Cursed Possessions” upgrade, which includes a selection of joyful brand-new material– including this sweet cane-wielding Santa Claus phantom that’s right here to place the “Jesus Christ, what is that thing?!” back in Xmas. Consider him. His milklike eyes (and also no cookies to opt for them). His subjected bones. I do not would like to know what Santa’s bones appear like! I intend to envision it for myself! This is a Yuletide plague, and also he’s not jolly! He’s not jolly in any way!
11. Wickedness Santa ( Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko)

I do not directly rely on matching symbols versus each various other, however, regretfully, the group behind Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko does not concur. This 3rd installation in the Gex franchise business includes a fight in between the cherished humanlike gecko and also a wicked variation of Santa Claus, as component of the “Holiday Broadcasting” degree. This Santa has no service asking whether I have actually behaved when he looks (and also acts) this mean, from his radiant red eyes to his use presents as a tool. The only aspect of this Santa that might be taken into consideration jolly is the truth that he’s not simply a shambling remains. That’s a rather reduced bar.
10. Gatling Gun Wielding Santa ( Sam & & Max: Ice Terminal Santa)

This variation of Santa, discovered in the very first episode of Sam & & Max Period 2, isn’t naturally wicked in mind, however he is ruled by concern. Horrified of a fiend that has actually made its means to the North Post, Santa allows his fear obtain the most effective of him and also chooses to contend his fairies with a gatling gun as opposed to simply, you understand, asking if perhaps they’re had. He’s not jolly, however he might come to be jolly eventually in the future. He’s not a shed reason right now. Simply take the tools away and also perhaps provide him some eggnog. And also treatment.
9. Sumo Santa ( ClayFighter 63 1/3)

A great deal of Santa Claus tales concentrate on the guy’s kindness, his capability for spreading out happiness and also giving playthings to youngsters, or his discrimination versus reindeer with red noses.

Do not fret, the group behind ClayFighter 63 1/3 was take on sufficient, and also whether you like it or otherwise, they brought Sumo Santa to life. Sumo Santa is a wicked duplicate of the initial Santa, bent on taking control of the North Post by beating the very enthusiast snowman Bad Mr. Frosty in physical fight. Sumo Santa is a villain, however there is no question that he obtains a great deal of happiness out of what he does. This person likes 3 points: combating, putting on a red and also environment-friendly loin cloth, and also Christmas-themed word play heres. A few of his mid-fight ridicules consist of treasures like “Santa’s gonna sit on your lap!” and also my individual fave, “Jingle this all the way.”
8. Santa Clawz ( Saints Row 4)

Saints Row isn’t specifically a video game franchise business that you would certainly believe to connect with Xmas or Santa Claus, however if there’s anything Saints Row likes greater than thinking of a few of the wildest tools worldwide of computer game (Apoca-fist, any individual?) it’s locating brand-new methods to stun and also frustrate their gamers.

Santa Claus directly the top, relocating track and also huge weapons under. If you assume that appears unreasonable, after that you ought to route your interest to Terraria This Santank is a hard-mode mini-boss that shows up throughout the video game’s Frost Moon occasion. He’s primarily busied with striking gamers with his chain weapon and also increased spheres, however in some cases when he’s beat, he goes down loot! That’s nearly like supplying presents!
6. Vicious Claus ( Dead Increasing 4)

In an experience with him, the gamer can listen to the guy state, “The winter is deadly, it bites to the bone. Poor Frank has been naughty, and now he’s alone.” Going by the basic subject of Dead Increasing, you may anticipate this Vicious Santa to be one more undead beast, however no! He’s still a beast, however a completely human one.

Shenmue video game included a shock Xmas Day look from Large Guy Xmas himself.
