LEXINGTON, Kentucky, June 15th, 2023 – This week, Gun Interactive—the multimedia development firm behind the upcoming The Texas Chain Saw Massacre asymmetrical-horror video game—announced the pricing details and pre-ordering information for the game’s upcoming release. Available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series Xbox Series X|S, the physical edition of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be available on August 18th (the same day that the game is released), retailing for $39.99 USD. And as an extra perk, the first wave of physical releases will include an exclusive poster depicting the game’s cover art, for a limited time only while supplies last. As well, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be available on Xbox Game Pass on launch day.
In addition to announcing pre-order and pricing information, Gun Interactive have also shared details regarding crossplay, breaking down all the pertinent information related to partying up, platform compatibility, and cross-progression. In a post on their Community Hub, the Gun team explains the differing matchmaking capabilities for each platform, and contextualize how each player will be able to connect with their community.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 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, as 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.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will launch on August 18th, 2023 for PC, PlayStation® 5 (PS5™) & PlayStation® 4 (PS4™), Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, and will launch into Game Pass on Xbox and PC.
