Texas Chainsaw Massacre gameplay trailer shows Leatherface, Cook, Hitch-Hiker in action

Fans have been anxiously waiting to get a glimpse of gameplay from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game that Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham are working on, and now the companies have finally unveiled a trailer that shows some violent examples of gameplay. In the Twitter video embedded below, you can see Leatherface, the Cook, and the Hitch-Hiker – iconic characters from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie (watch it HERE) – in action, making a mess of victim characters!

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game is set before the events of the original film and has the following set-up:

When Maria Flores went missing, and local law enforcement seemed to stall out in their search, her younger sister Ana teamed up with some of Maria’s friends from college to pick up the trail. It’s time for you to meet our cast of Victims.

Matches of the game will pit four potential victims against three killers. You can read about the victim characters HERE. In addition to the killers from the movie – Leatherface, the Cook, and the Hitch-hiker – the game will also feature killer characters that have been invented specifically for this game. Matches will take place in maps that are incredible recreations of locations from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as you can see in this video.

The cast that has been assembled to bring the game’s characters to life includes genre icon Kane Hodder, who is doing the motion-capture performance for Leatherface; Edwin Neal, providing the voice of the Hitch-hiker, the character he played in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre; and Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), Kristina Klebe (Don’t Kill It), Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs), and Damian Maffei (The Strangers: Prey at Night) in unspecified roles.
