Gun Media and Nighthawk Interactive, publishers of the asymmetrical survival horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, recently introduced a new family member (the game’s version of the Killer) to join the growing roster of characters.
The news comes from a teaser posted on the official Gun Media YouTube channel. The video isn’t very long, but it begins with a character named Virginia searching a toolbox, quickly interrupted by Hands, a new member of the family who is a playable killer in the game. Although this trailer doesn’t show his actual appearance, we do know that his weapon of choice is a hammer. Gun Media knows how intimidating he is, because in a press release the studio emphasized, “That boy is big!”
This wasn’t the only thing the studio announced. In addition to teasing new characters, players can also take advantage of a double XP weekend running from March 17th to 20th.
Texas Chain Saw Massacre has received a steady stream of content this year as well. In March, players not only received a new map called The Mill, but they also received the ability to play as a new survivor. Then in February, Gun Media turned one of the killers into a thirst trap.
