Sumo Digital and GUN Interactive have decided to terminate further development for Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The game adaptation of the classic 1970s-era horror film was originally released in mid-2023 and has subsequently been expanded with a number of DLC. While garnering and overall “mostly positive” rating on Steam with nearly 18,000 reviews, the game never really hit its stride. The good news, however, is that it will not be delisted, so players can continue to scare their socks off while avoiding ol’ Leatherface himself.
Why will there be no further development?
In a post on Steam, developers expressed pride in their work and the overall experience. However, the team feels that the game has reached its full potential based on “clear and concise vision for this game.” As a result, further development beyond improvements to peer-to-peer multiplayer will stop.
The post continues, “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will not be receiving any further future content or support. This means that there will be no more DLC, balance updates, or bug fixes, after our upcoming May patch. You can still expect a few more patches in the future in order to transition towards peer-to-peer matchmaking. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will still be playable and is NOT being delisted from storefronts. Our community team will continue to interact with our players as we continue to celebrate The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with all of you who love this game just as much as we do.”
