Leatherface is one of the best-known horror movie characters of all time, but it may surprise fans to learn that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre star is close to celebrating his 40th year in video games. While he was certainly one of the first horror movie characters to make a video game appearance, Leatherface has had sporadic cameos since, leaving him mostly overlooked. Now, though, with Netflix announcing a new entry in the franchise, and talks of a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game, he’s back in the limelight.
The rumors about a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre game are all the more exciting because they are tied to Gun Media—the team behind the Friday the 13th survival game. If true, this could mean big things for Leatherface, as the Friday the 13th game is among the best-selling horror games ever released on Steam.
