On the Assassin front, Gunn Interactive has already confirmed Johnny and Sissy for the line-up (they’re two new ones), alongside the more familiar likes of The Hitchhiker, The Cook and of course Leatherface, each with their own characteristics. With , capabilities and characteristics.
Fans of the series will also recognize several key locations from the original film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’s currently announced maps include the Family House with its wide-open exterior, maze-like slaughterhouse and claustrophobic gas station.
