‘The Strangers: Prey at Night’ Actor Damian Maffei Joins ‘Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ Video Game [Exclusive]
The team behind Friday the 13th: The Game, Gun Interactive is currently working on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Game, and we’ve got an update for you this morning.
Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that actor Damian Maffei has joined the cast of the game, and he will be playing a playable character who hasn’t yet been announced.
Damian Maffei memorably played the Man in the Mask in The Strangers: Prey at Night, and he was also recently seen as Devil in Haunt and Morgan/Deer Skull in 2021’s Wrong Turn.
Maffei will next be seen in Dark Circles, the directorial debut of Hannah Fierman.
Stay tuned for more on Maffei’s role in the Chain Saw game as we learn it!
The game will feature classic villains from the movies as well as new family members, and the events of the Chain Saw game will take place *before* Tobe Hooper’s original classic.
Kane Hodder is playing Leatherface, and Ed Neal, who played the Hitchhiker in Tobe Hooper’s original horror classic, will be reprising the role in the upcoming game.
Here’s the plot synopsis: “A group of five young adults led by Ana Flores set out to search for her missing sister. What they found was terror beyond their wildest nightmares.”

Just in case it wasn’t already clear, Jason Voorhees will be arriving in Dead by Daylight next week. And along with teasing their 10th Anniversary Livestream on June 14, Behaviour Interactive also dropped another teaser, this time for Jason and his never-before-seen Bloody Jason skin. That also includes a Redband variant, just for old time’s sake.
While it’s unclear for now just how players can snag this gory cosmetic, the skin joins the other three previously-revealed skins in the Jason Collection, featuring a range of Outfits that pay homage to his legacy while being reimagined in ways only The Fog could shape. Jason’s default Outfit presents the unmistakable icon from Jason Universe, originally designed by horror legend Greg Nicotero: a 13-holed hockey mask, machete, and weather-beaten clothing worn through countless kills.
Additional outfits include Backwoods Terror, which trades Jason’s jacket for flannel and suspenders, and his machete for a heavy axe. Death Forsaken offers a more grotesque incarnation with decayed features, exposed bone, and a shovel in hand. Lastly, Jason’s Depths of Despair Outfit sees him emerging from the depths; a vision of terror covered head-to-toe in barnacles, coral, and seaweed.
Dead by Daylight: Jason will be available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch on June 16.
