‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ Video Game Developers Tease Grandpa’s Role in the Game

Gun Interactive’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game is slashing our way next year, with Leatherface (duh!), the Cook and the Hitchhiker already confirmed as characters.

Also in the mix? Players will have to deal with Grandpa Sawyer, the oldest member of the family introduced in Tobe Hooper’s original classic. But what role will Grandpa play?

While Leatherface and the other members of the family will likely be the ones doing the slashing, Gun teases this afternoon that Grandpa’s role will be a little bit different.

“Hammer us with your theories on Grandpa’s role,” the team tweeted out today, leading fans to speculate on various different ways the character may be involved in the gameplay.

“You gotta feed him!” one fan guessed, while another wondered if he’ll be serving as something of a “monitor/alert” system. Several other fans have guessed that Grandpa will be included as “a way of finishing off survivors,” with other family members presenting captured players to Grandpa in much the same fashion he was utilized in Hooper’s 1974 nightmare.

What role do YOU think Grandpa will play in the upcoming video game?

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be launching in 2023 on Playstation®4, Playstation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and will be launching into Game Pass on Xbox and PC.

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.”

The wait is over for Steam users looking to stomp around Los Angeles busting zombie heads in Deep Silver and Dambuster’s Dead Island 2. The multimillion-selling follow-up to the 2011 original is now available on Steam, as well as the title’s two DLCs, including the recently-released “SoLA”. Deep Silver has marked the occasion with a new launch trailer.

In fact, Deep Silver has sweetened the deal with a 50% off sale for Dead Island 2 on Steam that’s on until April 29. That sale also applies to the title’s expansion packs and DLCs.

Just in case you missed it the first time around, Dead Island 2 centres around a deadly virus that’s spreading across Los Angeles, turning its inhabitants into ravenous zombies. The city is in quarantine and the military have retreated. Bitten, infected, but more than just immune, you learn to harness the zombie inside of you.

Known as Slayers, you (and if you choose, up to three players in co-op mode) must embark on an epic pulp journey across a plethora of well-known locations such as Beverly Hills, Venice Beach and Santa Monica to uncover the truth behind the outbreak and who or what they are turned into.

Dead Island 2 is also available on PC via the Epic Games Store, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
