Gun Interactive’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game is slashing our way next year, with Leatherface (duh!), the Cook and the Hitchhiker already confirmed as characters.
Also in the mix? Players will have to deal with Grandpa Sawyer, the oldest member of the family introduced in Tobe Hooper’s original classic. But what role will Grandpa play?
While Leatherface and the other members of the family will likely be the ones doing the slashing, Gun teases this afternoon that Grandpa’s role will be a little bit different.
“Hammer us with your theories on Grandpa’s role,” the team tweeted out today, leading fans to speculate on various different ways the character may be involved in the gameplay.
“You gotta feed him!” one fan guessed, while another wondered if he’ll be serving as something of a “monitor/alert” system. Several other fans have guessed that Grandpa will be included as “a way of finishing off survivors,” with other family members presenting captured players to Grandpa in much the same fashion he was utilized in Hooper’s 1974 nightmare.
What role do YOU think Grandpa will play in the upcoming video game?
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be launching in 2023 on Playstation®4, Playstation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store, and will be launching into Game Pass on Xbox and PC.
The game will feature classic villains from the movies as well as new family members, and the events of the Chain Saw game will take place *before* Tobe Hooper’s original classic.
Kane Hodder is playing Leatherface, and Ed Neal, who played the Hitchhiker in Tobe Hooper’s original horror classic, will be reprising the role in the upcoming game.
Here’s the plot synopsis: “A group of five young adults led by Ana Flores set out to search for her missing sister. What they found was terror beyond their wildest nightmares.”
“Why, old Grandpa is the best killer there ever was!”

The rumours are true. THQ Nordic and developer Pieces Interactive has resurrected Alone in the Dark for a new generation.
Officially revealed during THQ Nordic’s showcase at Gamescom 2022 (after Belgian retailer Smartoys pre-emptively posted a listing for the game), this remake of Alone in the Dark will see players return to the Derceto mansion in what’s described as a “love letter to the cult ’90s game”.
Coming to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC, the game will have some pedigree behind its writing with screenwriter Mikael Hedberg, who had the writing duties for SOMA and Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
Taking place in the deep south of the United States during the years 1920, players will assume the role of either Edward Carnby or Emily Hartwood as they search for Emily’s uncle, who has disappeared. Their search leads them to Derceto manor, a mental asylum where “something is lurking”.
“Encounter strange residents, nightmarish realms, dangerous monsters and ultimately unveil a plot of rising evil. At the intersection of reality, mystery, and insanity, an adventure waits that will challenge your core beliefs. Who can you trust, what will you believe, and what will you do next?”
Described as “psychological horror meets Southern Gothic”, the Alone in the Dark remake appears to take a cue from Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 remake with its camera and gameplay, which is definitely not a bad thing. And yes, the game will feature the Lovecraftian mythos that fans loved the first time around.
