Outright Games and Casual Brothers have unveiled their latest holiday-themed creation, The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes, a heartwarming family adventure game. Inspired by Lumistella Company's beloved The Elf on the Shelf series, this festive title is scheduled to launch on October 17, 2025, across PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox consoles.

While summer sunshine still graces many regions, the gaming world is already preparing for the winter holidays. As families begin planning their seasonal celebrations and gift exchanges, developers are crafting special holiday experiences. The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes joins this tradition, offering a cheerful gaming alternative to classic Christmas movies and other seasonal entertainment.

This upcoming title transforms the iconic Scout Elf into a customizable 3D platforming hero. Players will guide their personalized elf through vibrant winter landscapes, overcoming platform challenges and collecting special items. The game incorporates various minigames including maze navigation and memory-based card challenges, blending traditional holiday activities with modern gameplay mechanics.

Developed by Outright Games, known for family-friendly hits like Barbie Project Friendship and Spongebob Squarepants: The Patrick Star Game, Christmas Heroes continues their tradition of accessible, engaging experiences for younger audiences. The game's announcement during summer months cleverly mirrors its trailer, which features a Scout Elf receiving his mission while enjoying a beach vacation.

With its October release date strategically placed before the holiday shopping season, The Elf on the Shelf: Christmas Heroes positions itself as an ideal family gift option. The game promises to capture the magic of the holiday season while offering fresh gameplay experiences rooted in the beloved Scout Elf tradition.
