Gun Interactive and Sumo Nottingham have collaborated with horror legend Greg Nicotero to bring fans of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre a new playable Leatherface. In the video below, Gun Interactive’s CEO Wes Keltner, alongside founder of KNB EFX Greg Nicotero, discuss the fruitful collaboration. Renowned for his iconic work on horror game effects, from Creepshow 2 to The Walking Dead, Greg details the creation of a brand-new Leatherface with features such as a new chainsaw, new sounds, and new kills.

Greg Nicotero is an icon of horror and a master of his craft, making his first foray into the video game industry through his collaboration with Gun and Sumo. Beginning his journey as a special effects makeup artist on Day of the Dead, Nicotero brought true horror and realism to life throughout his influential career. He didn’t just dominate—he also innovated and pushed the horror genre into a realm of realism where his work remains etched long after the film has ended.
"The most rewarding aspect of working alongside Greg is his wealth of knowledge, his experience in practical effects, makeup, and creature design. Having touched so many horror franchises over the years, it was logical to bring him on board. And when we two come together, we’re like kids in a candy store! We had a blast working on this project, and bringing this vision to life is something both Gun and Sumo are very proud of". - said Wes Keltner, CEO and President of Gun Interactive.
It would all be wonderful, if it weren’t for the ridiculously high price at which the new Leatherface is being sold as a DLC, at 15,99$ (a price that will probably be converted 1:1 to euros), practically one-third of the base game’s cost. The collaboration is precious and sought-after, but perhaps we’re a bit losing our sense of scale...
In any case, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is available on Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and QUI you can find our review of the title, if you haven’t already read it.
