The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game is officially done with new content and support, as its developer says the project has reached its full potential. If you’ve been playing this asymmetrical multiplayer horror game, you might want to savor the current experience because no fresh DLC or balance tweaks are coming after the next patch.
Released in August 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, the game pits four victims against three members of the infamous Sawyer family, straight out of the 1974 horror classic. Gun Interactive shared a statement explaining their decision to stop further updates, emphasizing pride in their creation and a desire to focus on other projects.
Here’s what Gun Interactive had to say:
“We feel proud of the game we’ve made and we’re happy that we’re at a point where we feel The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has reached its full potential. From the very beginning, we’ve always had a clear and concise vision for this game. We wanted to push the envelope on multiplayer asymmetrical horror, shed light on this iconic film to a newer generation, and place folks into the beautiful but macabre world of Muerto County and we feel we have achieved that.”
“Telling the story of Maria Flores and her friends while bringing horror icons into the franchise like Kane Hodder, Barbara Crampton, Scout Taylor Compton, and Skeet Ulrich was incredibly rewarding and important to us. While creating something new, we still sought to honor the 1974 film authentically, working from Kim Henkel’s character bible as well as bringing back franchise favorites Bill Mosely and Ed Neal. And at this point, we feel that we have seen The Texas Chain Saw Massacre fully realized.”
“With that being said, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will not be receiving any further future content or support. This means that there will be no more DLC, balance updates, or bug fixes, after our upcoming May patch. You can still expect a few more patches in the future in order to transition towards peer-to-peer matchmaking.”
The studio also clarified that the game will remain playable and will not be removed from digital stores. They highlighted the importance of drawing a line under the game’s ongoing development, respecting both the team’s creative journey and the players’ experience.
Gun Interactive described themselves as a passionate group of horror fans and artists, grateful to those who embraced their vision for asymmetrical multiplayer horror. Even if this chapter is closing, they promised to keep making horror games that fans love.
