The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Buffs Leatherface and More in Next Update
01/19/2024 09:35 am EST
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game got another of its Muerto Times previews this week where developer Sumo Nottingham and publisher Gun Interactive show off what's planned for the game's next update. For this particular update, that includes a slight buff for Leatherface that allows him to tear through obstacles faster than he does now as well as some reworks and adjustments for several different characters' perks. There are some issues, however, that are only being looked into right now and won't be fixed just yet when the new update drops soon.
Many of these changes were talked about in a recent live stream, but the Muerto Times roundup put them all in one spot in case players didn't watch that. No news as to when this update will be released has been given, but the devs have already addressed questions about other parts of the game that need attention that weren't mentioned in this post.
"We are aware of not only community feedback, but also internal data that Sissy may need some love," said community representative Andy Lytle in response to someone who was "disappointed" that Sissy wasn't getting much attention in this next update. This goes for Sonny, too. We're exploring this at this very moment."
The full preview of what's to come can be seen below, but the more detailed patch notes will be shared closer to the time of the update's release.
