New Updates On Texas Chainsaw Massacre Game
Developer Gun Interactive has been working on a video game based on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the classic 1974 film that would influence horror forever. It still remains powerful after all this time and is singlehandedly responsible for introducing the chainsaw as a horror trope (although it’s incorrectly associated with Jason usually). One wonders how it would translate to a game, however. The movie’s characters are basically at the mercy of cannibal hillbillies and do very little to fight back.
Gun still isn’t saying how their game works. With Halloween fast approaching, now would be a good time to release a full trailer, but they aren’t ready just yet. What they CAN show off is the theme music they’ve created. It’s titled “The Massacre” and was written by BAFTA-nominated composer Ross Tregenza. Wes Keltner, CEO, Game Design, Audio & Art Director at Gun, also contributed to the piece.
Tregenza says he used a rarely utilized musical instrument called the Apprehension Engine to make the tune truly ghoulish. He says the theme was “made of pig screams, chainsaws, [and] scraped metal,” among other samples like the Soma Lyra drone machine. This is just one track and Tregenza is now working on the rest. “There’s a lot more to come,” he says.
Gun is also (slowly) revealing some of the characters in the game via images of “trading cards” posted to the TCSM game Twitter account. So far we only know of “good ol’ Texan boy and ex-high school wrestler Leland McKinney” and Ana Flores, “protagonist and sister to the missing Maria.” More will be revealed….The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be released in 2023.
