As the release date is inching closer, more information is being revealed surrounding the upcoming horror game based off the classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
We have known that there is a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game in the works. The studio working on it? Gun Interactive. But now we know much more about the upcoming asymmetrical multiplayer game.
So get ready as you take on leather face once more in this upcoming horror game. Are you prepared for the horrors that will await you in this multiplayer game?
What Is An Asymmetrical Multiplayer Game?
An Asymmetrical multiplayer game refers to a game, wherein teams are not made up of the same amount of people. In most games, this would mean that there is one killer and four people trying to stop them.
In Gun Interactive’s previous horror game Friday the 13th: The Game, there were 8 players running away from 1 killer, but this time, with their next leather face game, the studio is shaking things up.
How is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Different?
In the upcoming title, the studio has decided that they will forego the 1 vs. X number, and instead will have 3 killers and 4 people running from them. Gun Interactive CEO and president, Wes Keltner explained, “when you look at the '74 film, you'll note there's an entire family to deal with, not just Leatherface. So it felt natural to have three killers chasing victims".
The team will have to balance the ‘family of killers’ carefully so they won’t be OP. With so many killers running around, it will be difficult for the victims to try and survive. Will we get to feel like we’re helpless left somewhere in Texas running from a crazed family? Hopefully yes.
When Will The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Be Released?
There is no official release date for the horror game, but we do think it will be released later in 2022. With a Netflix remake getting released in 2022 as well, it would cap off the series quite nicely with the game.
Haven’t you ever wanted to know what it feels like to be chased around by not just one, but three killers? Sure brings me back to movies like ‘The Strangers’ that have permanently scarred me as a child. Let’s hope that Gun Interactive manages to make us feel as helpless in the game as we would in real life.
