Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham have officially announced a pivotal transition in the development of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game. Sumo Nottingham, proud co-developer of the project, are passing the torch to Black Tower Studios as its new developer for future development endeavors for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. This strategic move is aimed at fostering fresh content and enhanced support for the game.
In a collaborative effort, both Sumo Nottingham and Gun Interactive are actively facilitating the onboarding process for Black Tower Studios, signaling a seamless transition of responsibilities. Black Tower Studios, known for their work on titles like Predator Hunting Grounds and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre project.
The transition to Black Tower Studios comes after a month-long preparation period, during which the teams have been meticulously planning for the handover. With a shared history of successful co-development projects, Gun Interactive and Black Tower Studios are poised to uphold the high standards set for asymmetrical horror gaming.
Gun Interactive is particularly enthusiastic about integrating the talented team from Black Tower Studios, citing their past contributions to iconic projects such as Friday the 13th: the Game. Notably, Black Tower Studios played a crucial role in developing maps like Jarvis House and Pinehurst for the aforementioned title.
Additionally, Gun Interactive has forged partnerships with several key collaborators to enhance various aspects of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Art Bully Productions will handle future cosmetics for characters, while Testronic Labs will provide quality assurance testing. Saturday Morning Cereal will oversee game trailers and assist with in-game cinematics, and Odd Gentleman will contribute to Museum Mode and potentially introduce new game modes.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game is currently available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and is included in the Game Pass subscription service for Xbox and PC users. As development transitions to Black Tower Studios, players can anticipate exciting updates and expansions to further enrich their gaming experience. The game previously received free DLC last week and the developer also announced that horror icon Barbara Crampton is joining the roster of the game as a new character.
