Summary
The new update ofThe Texas Chain Saw Massacreis now available on all platforms, fixing issues and fine-tuning a staple feature. Alongside the update, new DLC packs have also been added toThe Texas Chain Saw Massacrein the game’s digital stores. One pack contains a new outfit for Connie, and the other includes new executions for the Slaughter family.
Since the end of March,The Texas Chain Saw Massacrehas updated the game biweekly. Most updates are gameplay fixes, but they are enough to keep fans at ease. Many wondered ifThe Texas Chain Saw Massacrewould sufferthe same fate asEvil Dead: The Game. Saber Interactive, the developer ofEvil Dead: The Game, discontinued new content releases for the game last year and announced that it would only focus on fixing bugs and other issues. Although the latest patches ofThe Texas Chain Saw Massacrehave also been only fixes, the developers still occasionally disclose a minor roadmap for the game.
The May 28 update is quite underwhelming according to fans, but at least it proves thatThe Texas Chain Saw Massacreis still kickingand getting the attention it deserves. One of the changes in the patch is on the Nancy’s House map during nighttime weather, where the sound of thunder has been increased by 25%, and the occurrence of lightning strobing has been reduced to aid photosensitive people. In terms of fixes, one of the most urgent issues is the so-called Infinite Skill Points. A glitch during respecing allowed players to gain an unlimited amount of skill points and freely allocate them, but not anymore. Others are visual or audio fixes.
Two new DLCs have arrived in the game alongside the patch. The first one is the Connie Outfit Pack 2, which adds a new costume with various color variants for the farm girl. The second pack is the Execution Pack 3, which adds one kill for all members of the Slaughter family: Leatherface, The Cook, The Hitchhiker, Sissy, Johnny, and Nancy. Both DLCs are purely cosmetic and don’t influenceThe Texas Chain Saw Massacrecharacters' abilities.
Before the game’s release, publisher Gun Interactive said it would try to shift things up and offer a more common business model in its asymmetrical horror game. While many games in this genre offer a battle pass as a business model, such asDead By Daylight,The Texas Chain Saw Massacreis differentand only offers DLCs. As of today,The Texas Chain Saw Massacrehas 21 DLCs, mixed between outfits, executions, and new characters.
