- The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game aimed to "elevate the bar" for multiplayer horror, but its ambition led to its downfall - 9 February 2026
The abrupt end to work on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game just two years after its arrival was a sad moment for horror fans and publisher Gun alike. Its level of polish and distinctive 4v3 format stood out from the crowd, and went some way towards correcting the perpetual matchmaking imbalance faced by asymmetrical horror games like Dead By Daylight. Unfortunately, rising development costs meant updates were ultimately halted. Gun Interactive CEO Wes Keltner tells us the decision was made to avoid releasing "mediocre content" and to "prioritize my employees," but admits that he would handle investment differently if he could go back in time.

- After just two years, DBD rival The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is finished for good - 13 May 2025
Although it's been a modest success on Steam, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre deserves more attention. Mechanically, it puts a smart, sinister spin on Dead By Daylight, pitting multiple survivors (or, as the game refers to them, 'victims') against a trio of killers, each of them outfitted with unique, sometimes complementary abilities. More significantly, developer Gun goes to great lengths to capture the visuals and atmosphere of the original 1974 movie - if film-to-game adaptations have a reputation for being low-effort cash ins, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is up there with notable exceptions like Alien Isolation. Now, just shy of two years since it was released, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is finished. Developer Gun says the game has reached its "full potential." Read the rest of the story...

- An Update on the Future of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, DLC, and What's Next - 13 May 2025
Just a couple of years ago, if you sat down and asked anyone here at Gun Interactive what would be a dream project for them… you’d hear them say The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. A pivotal film for any horror lover – innovative, indie, and artistic – Gun brings that same spirit to making games. Being able to see The Texas Chain Saw Massacre get into the hands of players is one of the proudest accomplishments we’ve had as a studio. 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. For inst…

Earlier in the life of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, we made the decision to remove the ability for another Family member to instant kill a victim involved in a close encounter with a teammate. We had made that decision because we felt it was unfair to Victim gameplay. With community feedback and our own internal thoughts, we’ve decided to rework grapples in a way we feel makes more sense. Each character will now have a grappling value assigned to them to determine their effectiveness in a close encounter. As a reminder, Victim players are able to change their build for close encounters/grapples through their Strength Attribute point allocation and via certain perks. "W…

Even if a game is very nasty indeed, it's nice to see it do well. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a grim title filled with absolutely excruciating murders, and it just launched a new mode, at least for players who have bought the game's content pass. Even though it has a limited release right now it's done wonders for the game's Steam player numbers, with them more than doubling. Read the rest of the story...
