In a surprise announcement that left fans bewildered, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game confirms it’s switching developers soon.
Sumo Nottingham, the developer behind The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game, is set to hand over the project to a new studio in an unexpected move. The transition, announced on February 23 via Twitter, has sparked a wave of speculation among fans, who are eager to learn the identity of the incoming developer.
Despite the shake-up, both Sumo Nottingham and the publisher, Gun Interactive, assure fans that the change will not impact the future of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The game, which was released in August 2023 after a four-year development period, received generally positive reviews for its faithful adaptation of the iconic 1974 horror film.
With an OpenCritic rating of 75% and over 14,000 user recommendations on Steam, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has carved out a solid niche in the gaming community. However, the decision to swap developers signals a significant shift for the title.
As Sumo Nottingham prepares to pass the torch, they express gratitude to the fans and Gun Interactive for their support throughout the project’s development. The studio is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for the game’s future development under its new caretakers.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Developer Switch Took Fans by Surprise
The unexpected announcement has left many fans puzzled, particularly the most vocal members of the player base. Comments from fans expressing confusion flooded in following the revelation, especially since it coincided with what seemed to be a positive period for the game. Just earlier in February, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre received a significant update and is currently available for free to all Xbox Game Pass Core and Ultimate members. These moves were aimed at sustaining player interest and expanding the game’s community.
However, the news of developer swapping has raised concerns about potential disruptions in the game’s development. Fans worry that this turmoil could hinder the momentum the game has been building. Comparisons are drawn to the fate of Evil Dead: The Game, a similar asymmetrical horror title that was abandoned in 2023, merely a year after its release.
The unexpected turn of events has sparked discussions among fans, highlighting uncertainties about the future direction of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Meanwhile, Sumo Nottingham has announced its departure from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to pursue its “next exciting project.” While the studio did not provide a specific reason for the transition, fans await more details about the game’s future direction.
