Where to get the Santa Dress in Stellar Blade
If you've updated Stellar Blade recently, you'll probably find there's a new setting asking you if you'd like holiday decorations turned on. If you agree to the decorations and then visit the game's hub city of Xion, you'll notice that it's decked out with plenty of festive cheer. As a matter of fact, there's even a Christmas tree to be found! If you're after the Santa Dress, you probably don't want to miss the gifts under the tree.

To find the Christmas tree in Xion, head to the spot on the map above. There will be two gifts under the tree. The one on the left will earn you the Rudolf Pack, which you can use to customize your drone to look like, well, Rudolph. Meanwhile, the gift on the right will net you the Santa Dress.

Helldivers 2 is getting a surprising Killzone crossover

Helldivers 2 has been nothing short of a runaway success. Fans have wanted more options for character customization, including crossover events. A thread on the Helldivers subreddit from nine months ago asks: "Do you think Helldivers 2 will get crossover content?" Well, the answer is now yes, courtesy of a new DLC pack featuring Killzone 2 items.

Arrowhead, the development team behind Helldivers 2, announced the collaboration in a Steam post. The team wrote: "We decided a long time ago to do crossovers only if and when they make perfect sense for the game. So in that spirit, we're hyped to announce our very first crossover: Killzone 2."

This new Alien game will tide you over until Alien: Isolation 2
Key art for Alien: Rogue Incursion

It’s hard to believe it has been over a decade since the release of Alien: Isolation. No Alien game since then has matched the intensity of its survival horror focus. Slowly creeping around a space station, only to be ambushed by a Xenomorph and engage in a cat-and-mouse chase in hopes of survival, is an exhilarating experience that no other Alien game has quite been able to achieve. Unfortunately, Sega and Creative Assembly did not immediately start work on a follow-up; it was only this year that we learned a sequel is in the works.

That Alien: Isolation sequel is still years away at this point, but thankfully, a different Alien game is here for players looking for another Xenomorph-filled first-person shooter. It’s a new VR game from Survios called Alien: Rogue Incursion, and it's your best bet for that Alien horror short of replaying the original Alien: Isolation as we wait for its sequel.
