The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One last year, and the developers have been keeping a steady flow of updates coming ever since. The next update is coming up on December 12th – and with this one comes the addition of Skeet Ulrich from the Scream franchise as a new victim character named Wyatt and Chainsaw franchise veteran Bill Moseley as a new killer family member called Bones. Moseley is best known for playing the character Chop Top in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (and he also appeared as Drayton Sawyer in Texas Chainsaw 3D), but since the makers of this video game only have the rights to base the game on the original film, Moseley has been given a brand new character to bring to life. You can see Bones and Wyatt in the trailer embedded above,...

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One last year, and the developers have been keeping a steady flow of updates coming ever since. Last month, we learned that a new game mode called Rush Week would be part of a Content Pass will go on sale for the price of $19.99 on September 26th – and now a trailer for that game mode has been unveiled! You can check it out in the embed above.

The game’s developers provided the following information on the new game mode: Rush Week takes its inspiration from the late 70’s Giallo-inspired Slasher films. The love for that subgenre of cinema gives you a clearer vision for the horror film that you can cast yourself in with this 1v6 multiplayer mode. Taking place after the events of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre,...

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One last August, and the developers have been keeping a steady flow of updates coming ever since. Next month, a Content Pass will go on sale for the price of $19.99 that will include a new Family Member, a new Victim, a new Execution Pack, four new cosmetics, and early access to the new Game Mode Rush Week, which “will be an exciting and completely brand new way to play The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. This mode will be free to all players at a later date.” Now a teaser trailer for the Rush Week game mode has been unveiled, and it appears that this 1v6 multiplayer mode will be setting the killer Johnny loose in a sorority house! You can check out the teaser in the embed above.

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and the developers have been keeping a steady flow of updates coming ever since. As we’ve previously covered, tomorrow – June 11th – they will be adding a new villain character to the game in the form of Hands, the man who inspired Leatherface to start wearing masks of human flesh. They’ll also be adding a new victim character, and this one is an unexpected move: Maria Flores, the young woman whose disappearance kicked off the events of the game, is now going to be a playable character!

Fans have assumed that Maria was dead, but that’s not the case. As explained on the game’s official website, “Maria Flores, voiced by the talented Stephanie Panisello, is the heart and soul for our cast of Victims.

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and the developers have been keeping a steady flow of updates coming ever since. Last month, they announced that a new killer character called Hands will be added to the game on June 11th – and with just a few days to go before that date arrives, they have revealed more information about Hands – including the fact that he’s someone who was originally created by Kim Henkel, Tobe Hooper’s co-writer on the original Chainsaw film, and was the one who inspired Leatherface to start wearing masks of human flesh!

As written on the game’s official website, “Hands is a distant cousin to the Slaughter Family. The talented Robert Mukes (House of 1000 Corpses) brings this 7ft tall, nearly 350 lbs man, to life.

Players have been hacking up victims as genre icon Leatherface and his fellow killers in the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive since it was released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th – but some of the most brutal kills haven’t even been added into the game yet! The game’s official X account has announced that the “Execution Pack 3” will be available for purchase as of May 28th, going for the price of $6.99, and they’re going to make the game even more brutal than it has been so far.

The game’s developers shared a one minute long clip of the new kills, and you can watch that right here:

Execution Pack 3 features new ways to catch your prey with some of our most brutal kills to date.

Find them in the shop on May 28th.

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and the developers have been keeping a steady flow of updates coming ever since. In recent months, a new map called The Mill was added, along with a new victim character named Virginia – who has the voice and likeness of genre icon Barbara Crampton! Now the game’s developers have taken to social media to tease the fact that a new killer called Hands will be added to the game next month… on June 11th, to be exact.

Details on the Hand character haven’t been revealed, but here’s a teaser clip that shows him menacing Virginia:

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and the developers have been keeping a steady flow of updates coming ever since. A while back, we heard a new killer character, a new victim character (with the voice and likeness of genre icon Barbara Crampton!), and a new map called The Mill (which brings to mind a location from the 2003 Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake) would be added to the game soon – and now we know exactly when The Mill will be available for players to enjoy: March 28th!

The date announcement was made on X, where it was revealed that The Mill will allow players to “scramble up multiple floors, traverse through a Ghost Town, or sneak around a dry river bed.”

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and it has been frequently updated since then. A couple weeks ago, it was revealed that a new character portrayed by genre icon Barbara Crampton is being added to the game in an upcoming update – and now details on the character have been unearthed on the game’s official website! The character with Crampton’s voice and likeness is a Victim character named Virginia.

Here are the details: Virginia is a grief-stricken mother who cannot get over the disappearance of her son Jesse. She’s obsessive over his vanishing and refuses to believe that he could be gone. The weight of her pain is so immense she leaves behind her nursing career to move to Newt, TX, the last location Jesse was seen.

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and the game’s developers are working to make sure the game stays alive by dropping in frequent updates. Tomorrow, an update will bring a new execution pack and weapon skins into the game, as well as new looks for a couple of the characters. A while back, it was announced that a new killer character, a new victim character, and a new map called The Mill… and now genre icon Barbara Crampton has revealed that she’s playing one of the new characters! Our friends at Bloody Disgusting have learned that Crampton’s character is named Virginia, but it’s not clear if she’s a killer or a victim.

Crampton made the announcement herself, in a social...

I’ve only played a few video games over the last twenty years, primarily Halo online multiplayer and the recent Friday the 13th game that was hindered by lawsuits… and gaming sure is different these days than it was in my time, when a game was released in its complete form and then you just played the hell out of it. Now, if a game doesn’t get very frequent updates, players will abandon it very quickly. For example, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham was just released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and even though it was updated a new map and a couple new characters at the end of November, I’ve already seen gamers complaining that it’s getting stale and will be pronounced dead if there isn’t another update soon.

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham was released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and at the end of last month they added not just a new map (free to all players), but also a couple of new characters that players have to pay to access: a victim named Danny and a killer named Nancy. The motion-capture and vocal performances for Nancy were provided by BAFTA winner Cissy Jones, whose previous credits include the most recent Evil Dead video game. A newly released promo video shows exactly how Jones brought Nancy to life, and you can check it out at the bottom of this article.

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham was released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and today they’re not only adding a new map (free to all players) and a couple of new characters (players will have to pay to access them), but also rolling out a patch that will fix multiple issues and make some changes. The full list of fixes and changes can be found on the official website – but the change that is getting the most attention from fans is one making it so that matches no longer require the presence of Leatherface.

Here’s the description of the change:

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham was released for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One back on August 18th, and a few weeks ago the game’s developers released a short promo video that teased the addition of new characters and a new map. Now it has been confirmed that a new map called “Nancy’s House” is being added into the game, free of charge, on November 28th. New victim character Danny and new killer character Nancy are also being added, but players will have to pay $9.99 each to get access to them. Video and images of Danny, Nancy, and the new map can be seen at the bottom of this article.

But now the game’s official X account has shared a promo video that appears to tease the addition of new characters and a new map. Check it out:

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham appears to have had a successful first couple months of release on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One – and now it has received a new update! New content being added into the game (for a price) include outfit packs for characters, bloody skins for the killers, and the Greg Nicotero-designed version of Leatherface we heard about last month.

Here’s the information on this update:

Nicotero Leatherface Premium Content: Includes the Nicotero Leatherface outfit, Nicotero Leatherface saw with unique saw sound, and Nicotero Leatherface exclusive universal execution. $15.99

Victim Outfit Packs: Each Victim gets one new outfit pack which includes a new outfit with 3 color swaps and 3 texture/pattern swaps to choose from for that outfit. $4.99

Victim Outfit Pack Bundle: Get all five Victim Outfit Packs for the price of four with the Victim Outfit Pack Bundle.

The new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham was just released for play on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on August 18th – and one month later, the developers have announced (via Bloody Disgusting and GameSpot) that new content will be available next month! For $16, players will be able to purchase the “Nicotero Leatherface” pack, which includes a new chainsaw with custom sounds, a new kill animation for all versions of Leatherface in the game, and a new skin for Leatherface that was designed by special effects legend Greg Nicotero.

This is far from the first time Nicotero has associated with Leatherface, as he also worked on the films Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, and Texas Chainsaw 3D.

We knew from early on that Kane Hodder (who did stunt work on Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III) was doing the motion-capture performance for the Leatherface character in the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham – a game that is now available on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Later we learned the names of the other mo-cap performers: Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) as The Hitch-hiker; Troy Burgess (Swedish Dicks) as The Cook; Kristina Klebe (Don’t Kill It) as new killer character Sissy; Dove Meir (Dig) as new killer character Johnny; Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), did the mo-cap for all of the female victim characters; and Hunter C. Smith (Lucky) did the mo-cap for all of the male victim characters. But the Grandpa character is in the game as well. Who did his mo-cap performance?...

The events of director Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (watch it Here) took place on August 18, 1973. Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of those events, and Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham are celebrating in the best way possible: by releasing their new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One! With launch day comes the unveiling of a new trailer for the game, and you can check that out in the embed above.

The story of the game has the following set-up: When Maria Flores went missing, and local law enforcement seemed to stall out in their search, her younger sister Ana teamed up with some of Maria’s friends from college to pick up the trail. The game takes place before the events of the original film.

Best known for his work playing monsters and creatures, Alan Maxson has a fascinating career containing credits such as The Gingerdead Man’s mouth, Shark Fuel Fiend, and King Ghidorah’s performance capture in 2019’s Godzilla: King of The Monsters. He turns his hand to writing and directing this intergalactic feature, complete with a history that has to be established first thing.

Long oppressed by the Kameen, the Lokkein rose up to try and free themselves from their captors. The brutal battles slaughtered many of their race, leaving the few Lokkein survivors exiled to a planet without drinkable water. The only reason they survive this barren world is a rejuvenation vial, a strange liquid that rejuvenates the planet’s liquid once a year. It is...

While the game features the homicidal characters from the original Chainsaw film, newly created characters Johnny and Sissy were also added into the mix to give players more options.

Last month, the developers of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game, coming our way from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham, shared a behind-the-scenes video that gave a look at the mocap sessions where genre icon Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood) provided the performance of Leatherface – and his fellow cast members provided the performances of the other killers and the group of victims. Now another behind-the-scenes video has arrived online, and this one shows what went into the recording of the chainsaw sounds for the game. You can watch that video at the bottom of this article.

Genre icon Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood) is providing the motion-capture performance for the legendary Leatherface in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham are developing – and a new promo video has arrived online to give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the motion capture sessions! Hodder is joined at these sessions by co-stars Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs), who’s doing the mo-cap performance for The Hitch-hiker; Troy Burgess (Swedish Dicks), doing the mo-cap for The Cook; Kristina Klebe (Don’t Kill It), doing the mo-cap performance for the new killer character Sissy; Dove Meir (Dig), playing the new killer character Johnny; Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), doing the mo-cap for all of the female victim characters; and Hunter C. Smith (Lucky), doing the mo-cap for all of the male victim characters. The video is over 13 minutes long,...

If you were hoping to see Kane Hodder doing his thing once again as Leatherface in Gun Interactive’s upcoming Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the devs have just the thing. Gun Interactive has released a brand new behind-the-scenes video showing off Texas Chain Saw Massacre‘s mocap sessions, which just so happens to start off with Hodder (jokingly) saying that he will kill someone on film.

The video doesn’t focus entirely on Hodder, mind you. We have appearances by Kristina Klebe (who plays Family member Sissy in the Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Dove Meir (who is doing the mocap for Family member Johnny), Hunter Smith, Sean Whalen, Troy Burgess and Scout Taylor-Compton chatting it up about the motion capture process. “That’s the beauty of motion capture,” explains Smith. “You can set up an environment anywhere, you layer out the space, and then it’s your play world.”
