New Video for ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ Delves Into DLC Family Member Nancy [Watch]

Published

Gun Interactive have dropped a little behind-the-scenes video for fans who have picked up the recent DLC for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, featuring new Survivor Danny, as well as the newest member of the Family in Nancy. The latter of whom is the topic of the new video.

Motion-captured and voiced by BAFTA-winning voice actor Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Telltale’s The Walking Dead, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Evil Dead: The Game), the video shows off Jones performing the brutal hammer hits and more in the mocap suit, as well as a brief interview with Jones on her work in the game.

“Being able to bring a new member of the family to life has been a little terrifying, but super awesome,” says Cissy, whose character Nancy is based on an amalgamation of multiple female serial killers throughout history. “Everyone’s been amazing. You can’t find a better crew. It’s really, really fun, and it’s gotten a little dark. But that’s okay, that’s what we’re here for.”

“I took a lot of personality traits from studying those killers and crafted them into what I feel is a pretty sick and twisted individual,” explains TCM Creative Director Ronnie Hobbs when talking about the character. “She’s also fully responsible for turning [fellow Family member] Johnny into the monster he is, but that’s an entirely different story.”

“Nancy really kind of comes across as this diminutive, slight lady and she’s definitely unassuming,” explains Cissy. “And not somebody that you would initially be afraid of, which is what’s so deceptive about her. Because as soon as she smells blood in the water, it is a frenzy. And she just goes HAM on whatever’s in front of her.”

Nancy, along with Danny, can be purchased for $9.99 each. The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is out now on PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
