Gun Interactive’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is getting a massive new update for the holidays, with IGN revealing a new Map, new Survivor, and new Family member coming soon.
On December 12, horror icon – and Chainsaw franchise star – Bill Moseley joins the game as Family member Bones, with Scream icon Skeet Ulrich as a Survivor named Wyatt!
Like Barbara Crampton, who previously joined the video game, Skeet Ulrich has never actually appeared in a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, but Scream fans are sure to love playing as a survivor featuring his likeness and voice. But it’s Bill Moseley’s introduction into the game that’s the real treat for horror fans, as Moseley of course played Chop Top in Tobe Hooper’s sequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, and later popped up for a brief appearance as Drayton Sawyer (aka “The Cook”) in the 2013 sequel Texas Chainsaw 3D.
Unfortunately, Gun has been unable to get the rights to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, and Moseley joining the game as new original Family member Bones seems like the final nail in the coffin for Chop Top being added to the game. But it’s a pretty damn solid consolation prize, as Bones features Moseley’s likeness as well as very Chop Top-inspired voice work.
Bones and Wyatt make their way into The Texas Chain Saw Massacre alongside a new Graveyard map, and you can preview all the new December 12 goodies in IGN’s trailer below!
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is available on Playstation®4, Playstation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam. The game features classic villains from the movies as well as new family members, and the events of the game take place *before* Tobe Hooper’s original classic.
