Sumo Digital released a crucial update for Texas Chain Saw Massacre on June 25, 2024, focusing on character skill tree fixes and overall gameplay improvements. This update addresses numerous bugs affecting the user interface (UI), visuals, and several characters' abilities, including Cook, Julie, and the newly added Hands.
Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Sumo Digital's asymmetrical horror game, plunges players into the terrifying world of the 1974 film. Players can choose to play as the infamous Slaughter family or their victims in intense 3v4 multiplayer matches. The game's chilling atmosphere and faithful adaptation of the film's essence have earned it widespread praise.
The June 25th update introduces the Hitchhiker’s Claymore outfit, a purchasable cosmetic item priced at $2.99 USD. Beyond the new skin, the update boasts significant gameplay refinements. The matchmaking experience is enhanced with improvements to the lobby cooldown penalty. Several issues impacting Cook and Julie's skill trees have been resolved, notably fixing a problem that prevented players from reaching level 10 on Cook's middle path by adding attribute points.
Hands, the game's newest killer, also received significant adjustments. An exploit concerning his stamina, stemming from his Ability Tree's middle path incorrectly affecting overall stamina, has been patched. Furthermore, issues with his "Reduce Defensive Barge Stamina Cost" ability upgrades have been fixed to function correctly across all tiers.
Other fixes include correcting incorrect connection lines in various skill trees, resolving a UI bug that incorrectly displayed removed perks on character customization screens, and addressing visual glitches affecting Maria's hair and model. These improvements, along with general bug fixes, aim to deliver a smoother and more immersive gaming experience.
