Yesterday, the game developers at Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham shared an overview look at the Family House map that will be featured in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game they’re working on. Today, they have shared an overview look at the second of the game’s three confirmed map, the Gas Station. Like the Family House, the Gas Station map is based on a location that was prominently featured in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie (watch it HERE) – and as you can see in the video embedded at the bottom of this article, those film locations are receiving stunning recreations in the video game.
Here’s the overview of the Gas Station:
As mentioned in that tweet, the third confirmed game map is The Slaughterhouse. There was a slaughterhouse in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but we didn’t see it in detail. The film just focused on the cattle standing outside the place.
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 bottom of this article.
The cast that has been assembled to bring the game’s 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; and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), Kristina Klebe (Don’t Kill It), Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs), and Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night) in unspecified roles.
