Last year's reverse horror game Carrion recently rolled out an overdue update for the console versions of the game.
It's the Christmas update and "The Greatest Time of the Year" DLC. It arrived on PC on time (around XMAS last year) and has now been released for Switch and Xbox, entirely for free.
"Our beloved Master may have had some trouble navigating the console landscape, but console players could elude its frigid appendages only for so long - Santa Carrion has finally brought the Greatest Time of Year DLC over to Xbox and Switch! As per our Master's wishes, the DLC remains free, so no excuses will be accepted - do your bidding and GO PLAY IT NOW!"
As explained in the original announcement post, this free DLC adds a brand new level to the game:
"As anyone can plainly see, the beast is a huge proponent of the holidays. Yes, consuming the flesh of those that seek to imprison you is still #1, but spending time with beast family and a white elephant gift swap is a close #2. Eh, let's call it 1a and 1b, just to stay on its good side.
"To appease our gracious host and keep our free will, we've finally married its two favorite things together in a brand new level."
Will you be returning to Carrion to try out this new update? Read our review here, if you haven't already.

Meh Christmas is already over, maybe wait 9 more months before shoving this down our chimney. I like free stuff, I just don't like holiday crap on the wrong month.
It’s one of those games that’s just OK. For a first project it’s promising. Glad I played it on Game Pass though.
Should have been titled "My Wayward Son"
I enjoyed Carrion but I doubt I'll pick it up again to check it out. Glad the update is out though
Glad my “Gamer Adhd” is bad enough that never finish any games until all the dlc/updates are out. 😂 It’s the one part of it that doesn’t bother me.
Learned that playing vanilla Fallout 3 before DLCs/Patches on 360. Since then I’ll buy something like Witcher 3 at launch, then wait 2 years to play it. Lmfao! Same goes for indies, I typically wait a year to really dig in and finish, whereas at launch I’ll play for an hour or so....
They should have just waited till next Christmas to do it.
Woo... can't wait to try it out ^3^
Yes, downloading it now.
I really enjoyed this game so I'll have to check this out. The gameplay is so good I believe they could do so much more. They should add in a extra mode or 2 of time trial scenarios (clear the room in 'X' time) and/or a "horde" mode in one big or small level (wave after wave of increasingly harder humans, level shrinks or something, and less ability to heal).
Cool. It moves up my wishlist to "next sale instabuy" level.
One of my favourite games really, the physical edition from Special Reserve Games was absolutely beautiful, and came with a download code to start playing already, very shortly after digital launch, but long before the physical was shipped. I know what I'll be playing within a couple of minutes, even though the music of The Hong Kong Massacre is still looping in my head, urging me to play it some more, despite the fact that I often quit the game hating it (yet still wanting to play it some more... Scary really, perhaps I should do what I do with anything that feels like it could be or become an addiction: cut it out of my life entirely)
@nessisonett Its not a first project they also made a game called Butcher that's like a spiritual successor of Abuse
I dont think that ones on switch though
