, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, which is being developed by Sumo Nottingham, sounds pretty par for the course amid the current crop of asymmetrical horror games like Dead by Daylight and Evil Dead: The Game.
It pits a brand-new cast of youthful"victims" against a single, powerful foe - in this case, a killer family member either plucked from or inspired by Tobe Hooper's 1974 horror classic.On the killer front, Gun Interactive has already confirmed Johnny and Sissy for the line-up , alongside the more familiar likes of The Hitchhiker, The Cook, and, of course, Leatherface, each with their own attributes, abilities, and characteristics.
Series fans will also recognised a number of key locations from the original movie, with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre's currently announced maps including the Family House with its wide-open exterior, the maze-like Slaughterhouse, and claustrophobic Gas Station. Whether Gun's Texas Chain Saw Massacre can do enough to set itself apart from other asymmetrical horror remains to be seen, but all will be revealed when it launches for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Game Pass on 18th August.
