The developers of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre had been promising a new map (“The Mill”) as well as a new family member and a new victim in the coming months, and today we’ve got some exciting news about one of those brand new characters. Horror legend Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, You’re Next, Jakob’s Wife) has revealed she’s joining the game!

“I am here to tell you that I’m in the DLC for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game!” Crampton revealed on social media tonight, sharing a sneak peek at the character that will feature her likeness. Bloody Disgusting has learned that the character’s name is Virginia, and indeed the new character – presumably a survivor – is a dead ringer for Crampton!

Barbara Crampton is no stranger to the world of horror video games, having recently voiced a character in Back 4 Blood. But this will be the first time Crampton has made her presence known in the Texas Chain Saw Massacre franchise, which is extremely cool for fans.

Keep your eyes locked on the game’s official social channels for more…

Also headed into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game very soon? A new Execution Pack and Weapon Skins, plus Shirtless Johnny and Bride Sissy, all arriving February 22.

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.

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

Survios Announces VR Title ‘Alien: Rogue Incursion’, Coming This Year [Trailer]

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
