PlayStation Home is offline from 8AM GMT on Wednesday 25th January for routine maintenance. Here is what to expect after the update…

Reports of a mysterious cave opening up down by the water in the Winter Event space are rife this week, along with suspected sightings of what some have claimed to be an abominable snowman. Hunters and other enthusiasts are flocking to the area to see if they can catch a glimpse of the mythical yetis in the hopes of bringing back evidence of their existence. Extreme caution is advised to all those intrepid enough to go in search of the yetis and the government is advising that anyone attempting to face them stock up on precautionary ammo and other supplies at the store located at the site.

Here’s an unsubstantiated picture sent in by a local hunter, allegedly in support of these wild claims.

Celebrate the Chinese New Year in style in the brand new Mahjong apartment. Invite your friends to play Mahjong Attack, our version of this very popular Chinese game.

It’s the year of the Dragon, so we’re giving away a free Chinese Dragon! Known for his wisdom and loyalty, this dragon is a worthy companion to have at your side. Just visit Home Square to pick up this reward, absolutely free.

Everyone loves cute ponies, right? If you say no, you’re clearly kidding yourself. The latest herd of Stitchkins have come cantering into PlayStation Home and they are some seriously adorable equines. Starshine and Aurora are big-eyed unicorns who stamp their little hooves to get your attention. If you wouldn’t be seen dead with a pink pony, then maybe Nimbus and Storm are more your style. Longer limbed Pegasus, these winged miniature horses never give up trying to fly, even if their stubby little wings aren’t big enough to lift them. Whichever you choose, their antics are sure to brighten up your day!

Also this week, Granzella bring us ‘Great Edo of Nippon’ – a Japanese Edo period themed space.

Along the shop-lined streets of this space, townspeople and merchants can be seen going about various occupations such as cargo delivery, running food stands, and samurai duties as well.

In the local clothing store, among many other Japanese costumes, you’ll find stylish kimono, samurai outfits, and even swords to complete the look. Change into a samurai outfit or kimono and experience the traditional Japanese culture of the Edo period.

Upon entering the city you can try your hand at the Goldfish Scoop and the Shooting Gallery mini-games. However, there’s a strange rumour going around the city recently…

Apparently, people say something is haunting the city!

Konami bring us some new additions to their Urban Camo range – try sneaking up on your friends in a variety of elaborate disguises, such as a treasure chest or arcade cabinet.

The PlayStation Home January Sale continues, and you can now pick up a great value bundle containing all of the Winter Villa furniture for just £2.99 / €3.59.

That wraps it up for this week. See you in Home!

The PlayStation Home regular maintenance window has traditionally taken place every Thursday, but from now on we will carry out this maintenance and any associated weekly updates on a Wednesday. This is to coincide with the main PSN store update and keep some distance from the additional PSN maintenance window that occurs on most Thursdays. Hopefully this change will mean that you can spend more time in Home playing the games you love!

With that in mind, PlayStation Home will be taken offline on Wednesday 11th January from 8AM BST for scheduled maintenance. Here is what to expect after the update:

Novus Prime, the co-op multiplayer space shooter game from Hellfire Games, gets its newest expansion this week with Novus Prime: Vindication. Warp to the Novus Prime space station from Home Square in PlayStation Home to check out all-new missions, enemies, weapons, outfits, and items, plus brand new player ranks with rewards at every other level!

Earth Fleet is once again under attack from the relentless Bot horde! Only with the help of the Obsidians, a mysterious alien race with incredible technology, can you defeat the Bots and emerge victorious. Join the fight as an Obsidian pilot and take on the terrifying new Executioner enemy in two new missions: “Claustrophobia” and “Wrecker’s Waltz.” This expansion also adds new Master versions of every mission in Novus Prime, sure to challenge even the most seasoned aces.

In a gesture of solidarity, the Obsidians have made their technology available to all pilots of the Novus Prime space station. Gain the advantage over your enemies with the lightning-fast Obsidian Blade Fighter ship (bundled with the Obsidian Pilot suit), expose the weakness of your foes with the new Tech Goggles bundle, and deck out your pilot’s outfit with the menacing Obsidian Rune Blades.

Best of all, Novus Prime: Vindication introduces even more player ranks with never-before-seen rewards unlocked at every two levels! Players can now reach the Commander rank at level 30, with a full five-piece uniform awarded to pilots skilled enough to earn the title. Rank up even faster with the brand new Memory Conditioning Conduit bundle, which comes with three virtual items and permanently boosts experience gains by 300%!

Finally, celebrate Novus Prime’s 1-year anniversary this month with a free Facebook-exclusive Personal Lightning Shield item from Hellfire Games. Surround your avatar with a crackling energy field and wow your friends in PlayStation Home!

If you’ve been enjoying the range of All Zombies Must Die! companions and masks, you can now pick up the game itself from the GAME V store in the Moonbase.

Blast through ranks of brain hungry monsters with variety of improvised weaponry to fight against an unrelenting army of terrifying, yet funny, zombies.

Zombies can be shot, slashed, blasted, blown up, electrocuted, torched, irradiated and zapped in a number of horrifying and hilarious ways, causing the zombies to drop useful items like ammo, armour and hamburgers. Pick up All Zombies Must Die! from the PSN store or the GAME Moonbase within Home.

From Lockwood, men about town no longer have to worry about the weather, as Drey provides smart suits complete with designer umbrellas. The ladies have a distinctive new outfit pairing a structured mini skirt with a simple top and adding flair with a dramatic lace fan. Unleash your inner diva with Drey.

Also this week, Konami celebrates the upcoming release of Silent Hill HD collection by releasing the James Sunderland and Heather masks and outfits. Bring a piece of Silent Hill home. Also from Konami, check out Threads for some body tattoos based on concept art from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
