Gun Interactive has announced the launch date and official technical playtest for their upcoming video game adaptation of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The game is set to launch on August 18th, 2023, in recognition of the infamous date upon which the events of the original 1974 film took place.

Technical Playtest

The official technical playtest for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is scheduled to take place on May 25th, 2023, marking the first opportunity for fans to experience the terror and brutal intensity that first shocked audiences almost fifty years ago. Eligibility for the test will be limited, and the best way for fans to stay informed is to add the game to their wishlists on Steam and follow The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on social channels, including Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Further details and instructions for the technical playtest will be shared in the coming weeks.

Gameplay and Storyline

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game takes place in the months leading up to the events of the original 1974 film, and features authentic recreations of the locations, characters, and imagery of the source material. Players control either the Victims or members of the Slaughter Family, including the infamous Leatherface, in a vicious game of 3v4 cat-and-mouse that takes the tension and suspense of the film and repurposes it into thrilling, competitive action.

The Victims and the Slaughter Family must both utilize their unique abilities to come out on top. The former use stealth and smarts to escape their fearsome tormentors, while each member of the Slaughter Family wields brutal and murderous attacks to hunt their prey.

Soundtrack and Additional Music

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre features an entirely new soundtrack overseen by composer and lead sound designer Ross Tregenza that channels Wayne Bell’s trailblazing sound design for the 1974 film. Additionally, an album called “Remains” featuring music written and performed by Jim Bonney and Gun CEO and President Wes Keltner will be available.

Platforms and Availability

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be available on multiple platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. The game will also launch into Game Pass on Xbox and PC.
