The Texas Chain Saw Massacre developer Gun Interactive has announced that the game will not receive any future content or support after the release of a new patch later this month. The studio added that there will be more patches released in the future that will help transition The Texas Chain Saw Massacre toward peer-to-peer matchmaking, and the game will not be delisted from storefronts.

This echoes the studio's pledge to keep The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from suffering the same fate as Friday the 13th: The Game, which was delisted and shut down in 2023 due to its license expiring.

Now Playing: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - Nicotero Leatherface Reveal Trailer

Gun Interactive says that it feels The Texas Chain Saw Massacre "has reached its full potential" and that it has been able to realize its future for the asymmetrical multiplayer game, allowing it to see its vision for this project toward its "natural" creative end.

"From the very beginning, we've always had a clear and concise vision for this game. We wanted to push the envelope on multiplayer asymmetrical horror, shed light on this iconic film to a newer generation, and place folks into the beautiful but macabre world of Muerto County and we feel we have achieved that," the studio explained.

As for the future, Gun Interactive hasn't revealed what its next project is, but it is urging fans to stay tuned.

One of several asymmetrical multiplayer games based on a horror movie IP, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre stands apart from other games by utilizing a 4v3 structure for its gameplay, forcing survivors to keep an eye out for the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface and his homicidal family. An authentic recreation of the classic slasher movie--right down to Leatherface's signature chainsaw--the game was well-received at launch.

"As one of the year's scariest and best-designed experiences, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has reset the bar for multiplayer horror games," Mark Delaney wrote in GameSpot's The Texas Chain Saw Massacre review. While the game will still live on with the dedicated fans who regularly play it, the same can't be said for Evil Dead: The Game, as after a brief run, it was pulled from digital storefronts by publisher Boss Team Games.
