Temple Run 2 has today received its biggest game update so far, introducing a water slide, new masks to discover and a limited-time character to unlock, Imangi Studios has announced.

“We’re approaching the one-year anniversary of Temple Run 2’s launch, and with this update we wanted to introduce new gameplay elements that keep the run exciting for players,” said Keith Shepherd, co-founder of Imangi Studios. “And of course, we love the holidays, so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to incorporate Santa and holiday artefacts into the game.”

Update includes:

  • Run as Santa for a limited time through the holiday season by using gems to unlock
  • Five holiday artifacts to unlock: holly, present, stocking, wreath, candy cane
  • Santa Hats – Earn a Santa hat for each character when you collect each of the holiday-themed items
  • Water slide play feature – Dive through treacherous waters
  • Unique obstacles – fallen trees, large rocks and more
  • Hunt down masks of varying rarities

Temple Run and Temple Run 2 combined have accumulated over 500 million downloads.
