When you think Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Leatherface probably pops into your head, right? Well, get ready for a change in the multiplayer horror game scene because the mask-wearing cannibal won’t be a mandatory presence in matches moving forward.
In the November 28 patch notes for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, it boldly declares, “we have removed the requirement for Leatherface in every match.” Gun Interactive assures players that this tweak won’t mess with other things like maps or family spawns. It looks like they’re giving players the freedom to decide whether they want to take on the Leatherface role or not.
Now, let’s talk about some big changes in the asymmetrical multiplayer game. They’re addressing valve gameplay on the Slaughterhouse map, making it less of a cakewalk for the victim team to escape.
But that’s not all! With the new patch, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is rolling out a fresh killer, victim, and map. “Black” Nancy and her house step in as the new villain and map additions, while Danny joins the victim roster with the Study and Tamper abilities. And if you need tips on playing family members and victims, GameSpot’s got you covered.
On Halloween, the developers spilled the beans on their favorite horror games and their hopes of incorporating content from the movie sequel into the game.
