Legendary Horror Franchise Returns: Texas Chainsaw Massacre Set for June 2024

Sumo Digital has released a significant update for Texas Chain Saw Massacre, scheduled for June 25th, 2024. This patch focuses on refining gameplay and addressing several reported issues. Key improvements include fixes to character skill trees for Cook, Julie, and the recently added killer, Hands.

The update tackles various bugs impacting the user interface (UI) and overall visuals. A notable change is the adjustment to Hands' stamina mechanics, rectifying an exploit related to his Ability Tree. This fix ensures his stamina functions correctly, preventing excessive attacks. Similarly, issues with Hands' ability upgrades, specifically "Reduce Defensive Barge Stamina Cost," have been resolved to function as intended across all tiers.

Further improvements address problems within the skill trees of Cook and Julie, preventing players from reaching level 10 on certain paths. These issues have been resolved by adding additional attribute points, ensuring progression to level 10 is possible. Additionally, the update corrects incorrect connections between attribute nodes in multiple skill trees, guaranteeing proper functionality.

Visual enhancements include fixes to hair textures for the new character, Maria, addressing inconsistencies previously reported. A UI bug displaying removed perks in character customization has also been eliminated. The update also features a tuned lobby cooldown penalty for smoother matchmaking, and introduces the Hitchhiker’s Claymore outfit, a new cosmetic item available for purchase at $2.99 USD.

In summary, this comprehensive update aims to provide a more polished and balanced gameplay experience, addressing numerous bugs and improving overall game stability. The June 25th patch notes detail all fixes and improvements in full.
