It’s a new year and you can expect fresh new updates for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game throughout the year. At this point in time, new content is planned at least through August, with the developers promising more updates as long as fans keep playing.

During a question and answer session over on Reddit this week, Gun’s Andy Cleves provided a little teaser for what we can expect in the coming months. Responding to a fan who asked for “more skins, characters, levels,” Cleves responded with a simple message: “All coming.”

Cleves elaborated a tiny bit more, “We do have a lot of content in the works. Wes Keltner confirmed in a recent stream that we have content planned through August of this year. If players continue to play, then more content will follow past August.”

Cleves also noted during the post-holiday check in, “Getting players into matches in a much faster and smoother fashion is a top priority,” responding to various fans who raised the issue. Cleves added, “Lobby wait times is currently our top priority. The lobby timer will be removed entirely in a future patch. So no more of lobbies closing due to not enough players. We’re also exploring a few other means to help combat lobby wait times and lobby dodging.”

Also currently in the works? A “Johnny rework” and a “Danny rebalance.”

You can browse the full chat over on Reddit to learn more about future plans.

The game features classic villains from the movies as well as new family members, and the events of the Chain Saw game take place *before* Tobe Hooper’s original classic.

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.”

Brandon Trush writes in his review for BD, “asymmetrical horror evolves to fit a terror classic.”

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.
