The highly anticipated asymmetrical-horror video game, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, is set to launch on August 18th, 2023, but gamers have the opportunity to participate in the game’s Technical Test starting on Thursday, May 25th. Developed by Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham, the Technical Test is exclusive to Steam PC and is a chance for players to collaborate with the game’s developers in the final stages of development before launch.
The Technical Test is designed to stress-test the game and backend services, allowing the Gun Interactive team to make any necessary adjustments prior to launch. It is not a preview of the finished product, but rather an opportunity for players to help document the technical performance and capabilities of the latest playable build of the game.
Players can find all the details for the Technical Test on the Gun Interactive Community Hub, which provides further information on how to participate in the process.
Set in the months leading up to the events of the original 1974 film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre features authentic recreations of the locations, characters, and imagery of the source material. Players can control either the Victims or members of the Slaughter Family, including the infamous Leatherface, in a 3v4 game of cat-and-mouse. Each player must utilize their unique abilities to come out on top, with the Victims using stealth and smarts to escape their fearsome tormentors, and each member of the Slaughter Family wielding brutal and murderous attacks to hunt their prey.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be available on PC, PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, and will launch into Game Pass on Xbox and PC.
In conclusion, the Technical Test for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a rare opportunity for players to contribute to the game’s development and stress-test its performance before its official release on August 18th. The game’s authentic recreation of the source material, coupled with its thrilling and competitive gameplay, promises to offer an unforgettable horror gaming experience that fans of the genre won’t want to miss.
