Gun Interactive's Game Awards ceremony, though very little is known about the project as of writing.
An asymmetric multiplayer experience in the vein of Gun Interactive's and IllFonic's Friday the 13th: The Game, the new Leatherface-starring project will most notably take inspiration from Texas Chain Saw Massacre's original 1974 film, hence the title's awkward "chainsaw" spelling. Thus, as the marketing materials suggest, the experience will also, loosely, draw influence from true events, namely those related to the horrendous crimes of Plainfield, Wisconsin killer Ed Gein. Interestingly, rumors about a Texas Chain Saw Massacre game began circulating a few months ago, courtesy of a Leatherface-centric domain name that linked s directly to Gun Interactive's website. Now that the cat's officially out of the bag, even more information is starting to pile up.
As previously teased by the man himself, Kane Hodder, best known for portraying Jason Voorhees across multiple Friday the 13th films, will star as Leatherface in Gun Interactive's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Jason for Friday the 13th: The Game, it should come as no surprise that he quickly jumped aboard Gun Interactive's newest take on a classic horror franchise.
Kane Hodder is nothing short of an incredible get for Gun Interactive. As such, it'll be interesting to see how his performance translates to the digital world once players can finally go hands-on with the Texas Chain Saw Massacre-branded multiplayer title.
This particular endeavor counts as one of many asymmetric multiplayer games starring horror icons. In a way, Behaviour Interactive's IllFonic's Predator: Hunting Grounds released in 2020 to lukewarm reception but similarly took asymmetric multiplayer to interesting heights.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is currently in development at Gun Interactive with no release date details or specific platforms attached.
