Survive or Slaughter: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Release Date and Gameplay Revealed
Release Date: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game is set to release on August 18, 2023, for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4, and Steam.
Asymmetrical Multiplayer: Players can take on the roles of either the notorious Slaughter family or their victims in a third-person asymmetrical horror experience.
The game's story takes inspiration from the original 1974 movie, with a group of young adults venturing into a desolated farm in Texas, unaware of the cannibalistic family that resides there.
The game follows an asymmetrical multiplayer formula, with three players as the killers (the Family) and four players as the victims. Victims must stealthily find ways to survive while the killers hunt them down.
The game features familiar locations from the original movies, as well as brand new areas like the Family House, Gas Station, and Slaughterhouse maps.
Each character has unique abilities and attributes, allowing for distinct gameplay experiences. Victims have attributes like toughness, endurance, and stealth, while the Family characters possess abilities such as tracking, trapping, and attacking.
The game is expected to feature a skill tree system for character customization, enhancing their abilities and playstyles.
A technical test was held in May 2023, allowing players to get a taste of the game's mechanics before its official release.
Fans have eagerly anticipated gameplay footage, and the release of an uncut, red-band trailer has generated further excitement for the game's impending launch.
