Sumo Digital announces a crucial update for Texas Chain Saw Massacre, launching June 25th, 2024, across all platforms. This update tackles numerous bug fixes and improvements, focusing primarily on character skill trees and overall gameplay enhancements.
Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Sumo Digital's asymmetrical horror game inspired by the 1974 classic, pits players as either the terrifying Slaughter family or their unsuspecting victims in intense 3v4 matches. The game's chilling atmosphere and faithful recreation of the film have garnered significant praise.
This update introduces the Hitchhiker's Claymore outfit, a stylish new cosmetic addition available for $2.99 USD. Beyond the new skin, significant gameplay adjustments are included. The matchmaking experience receives a boost with improvements to the lobby cooldown penalty. Several skill tree issues affecting Cook, Julie, and the recently added killer, Hands, are addressed.
For Cook and Julie, the update resolves problems preventing players from reaching level 10 on specific skill tree paths by adding attribute point nodes. Hands, the newest killer, sees significant changes to his abilities. An exploit involving his stamina, linked to his ability tree's middle path, has been eliminated, ensuring stamina functions correctly. Fixes also ensure his ability upgrades work as intended at every tier.
Further improvements include fixing incorrect skill tree node connections, resolving a UI bug incorrectly displaying removed perks in character customization, and addressing visual issues, specifically with Maria's hair textures and model inconsistencies. These refinements aim to provide a smoother, more polished gaming experience.
