As the holiday season approaches, Nigerians and global gamers have a new reason to unwind, Rasta Santa, a bold action-platformer that fuses Christmas, reggae flavour and Lagos street grit. Developed by Lagos-based Deluxe Creation Studios, this game isn’t your typical jolly Santa romp: it’s Santa in dreadlocks, armed and on a mission.
A Festive Game With Nigerian Flavor
Released just in time for the festive period, Rasta Santa invites players to relax, tune into reggae-powered Christmas energy, and dive into a fast-paced action adventure. With Afro-styled visuals, Naija slang, holiday lights, and a fearless dreadlocked Santa at the centre, the game blends holiday cheer with street-smart heroics.
This version of Santa isn’t delivering gifts, he’s rescuing children, cleaning up the streets, and taking on dangerous villains across Lagos in short, adrenaline-packed missions perfect for holiday downtime.
From Lagos Streets to Festival Spotlight
Beyond holiday fun, Rasta Santa made waves at the recently concluded Fak’ugesi African Digital Innovation Festival in Johannesburg (7–12 October 2025). Deluxe Creation Studios won the Rising Star Award, pushing the game into the spotlight as one of Africa’s most promising indie titles.
The award marks an important moment for the Nigerian studio, signaling rising international interest in homegrown African games and affirming Rasta Santa as a standout release heading into the festive gaming season.
