There’s a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game coming our way from Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham, and we’ve previously heard that the cast that’s bringing the characters to life includes genre icon Kane Hodder, who is doing the motion-capture performance for Leatherface; Edwin Neal, providing the voice of the Hitch-hiker, the character he played in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie (watch it HERE); and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), Kristina Klebe (Don’t Kill It), and Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) in unspecified roles. Now our friends over at Bloody Disgusting have broken the news that Damian Maffei, who played The Man in the Mask in The Strangers: Prey at Night, is also in the cast.

As with Taylor-Compton, Klebe, and Whalen, details on Maffei’s character have not been revealed. We don’t know if he’s portraying a killer or a victim, but when Texas Chainsaw Massacre fans are choosing which of the characters they want to play the game as, Maffei’s character will be an option.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game is set before the events of the original film and has the following set-up:

When Maria Flores went missing, and local law enforcement seemed to stall out in their search, her younger sister Ana teamed up with some of Maria’s friends from college to pick up the trail. It’s time for you to meet our cast of Victims.

Matches of the game will pit four potential victims against three killers. You can read about the victim characters HERE. In addition to the killers from the movie – Leatherface, the Cook, and the Hitch-hiker – the game will also feature killer characters that have been invented specifically for this game. Matches will take place in maps that are incredible recreations of locations from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as you can see in the video embedded at the top of this article.
