Texas Chain Saw Massacre will rev up on Xbox Game Pass August 18
‘Sally, I hear something… stop… stop…’
Gun Media has revealed the release date for its upcoming release The Texas Chain Saw Massacre — the down ‘n’ dirty multiplayer title will launch August 18 on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X. It will also be available day one to Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
Adapted from Tobe Hooper’s magnificent 1974 picture, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will pit a party of hapless survivors — all hippie hair and booty shorts — against the terrifying Sawyer family, consisting of members either directly pulled from, or inspired by, Hooper’s seminal horror classic.
The survivors, (or “Victims” to use the game’s lexicon), will need to complete objectives and gather key items from several recognizable locales, while staying one step ahead of family members The Cook, The Hitchhiker, and, of course, the horrifying Leatherface. Original characters, including “Johnny” and “Sissy”, have also been created to… flesh out the roster of cannibalistic killers.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is clearly hoping to carve itself a piece of the assymetrical horror pie established by titles such as Behavior Interactive’s Dead by Daylight and Illfonic’s Friday the 13th: The Game. These releases were, in turn, followed by Illfonic own Predator: Hunting Grounds, as well as the currently in-development Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
It’s admittedly a risky proposition, given that Dead by Daylight has all but completely cornered the market on multiplayer horror movie mashups, but developer Sumo Digital will be looking to capture the distinct (and suspicious) flavor of the original movie to provide an experience that, aesthetically at the very least, will be quite unlike its contemporaries. My curiosity is already piqued, just add D.J. Stretch as a playable character, (complete with Caroline Williams providing voice), and I’ll be buzzin’.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre launches August 18 on PS5, PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Game Pass. A “technical test” is currently scheduled for May 25.
