Developer Gun Interactive is winding down work on asymmetric multiplayer horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, with the game no longer receiving any future content or support after May 2025.
The reasoning, given by the studio in a message to players, is that it feels it's "seen The Texas Chain Saw Massacre fully realised".
The game was released in August 2023.
"This means that there will be no more DLC, balance updates, or bug fixes, after our upcoming May patch," read the message.
"You can still expect a few more patches in the future in order to transition towards peer-to-peer matchmaking."
Unlike some licensed games which disappear from digital stores once live-service support has been discontinued – Marvel's Avengers, for example – The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will remain available.
"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will still be playable and is NOT being delisted from store fronts," continued the message.
"Our community team will continue to interact with our players as we continue to celebrate The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with all of you who love this game just as much as we do."
The move has led to review-bombing from some Steam users.
According to Steam Charts, concurrents in the game peaked at 1,677 in April.
Gun Interactive made its decision-making process clear at the end of the statement.
"As a creative studio, it’s imperative to communicate that we’ve seen this vision through to the natural creative end."
The studio also teased that work on its next project is ongoing, saying it's "ready to continue to do what we do best… make your favorite horror games".
