Fresh off the heels of winning the Xbox Excellence Award, Gun Interactive continues to honor the legacy of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre as it nears both the game’s first year anniversary and the original films anniversary. Their millions of players can continue to celebrate this iconic franchise with a special Collector’s Edition SteelBook.

This 50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition SteelBook encapsulates the beauty and macabre tone of the game with exclusive art by legendary artist Gary Pullin. With earthy yellows and greens, the silhouettes of The Slaughter Family and their Victims are displayed walking along the edges of Leatherface’s Chainsaw, amidst the growth of wildflowers. A gorgeous display for a game critics claim is, “like nothing else in horror, no matter the medium.”

Players will receive this gorgeous SteelBook alongside other goodies such as a physical copy of the game, an exclusive pack of trading cards for The Slaughter Family, the 50th Anniversary 4K Blu-Ray of the 1974 classic film, and already released DLC including two playable characters (Danny and Nancy), Outfit Packs, Execution Packs, and more!

“I’ve had my eye on Gary Pullin for a long time. I adore his art and approach to horror. Once the two of us got together and started brainstorming on what this steelbook could look like, it was like we’d known each other for years. It was an absolute treat to work with Gary and I hope the fans love what he created. As a horror nerd myself, I only wanted to offer something that I myself would want to collect. Something I would be proud of to have on my shelf, and I think we accomplished that.”
  • Wes Keltner, CEO, Gun Interactive
“The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has always been on the top of my list of iconic films I’ve wanted to work with. That call came when Wes from Gun reached out to me to create the artwork for the steelbook. Wes sent me some truly stunning early footage of the game and we talked a lot about how our favorite images are often striking, simple concepts. With that direction in mind, I picked up a chainsaw and got to work. I’m very proud to have worked with GUN on this special release and I only hope we’ve come up with something Grandpa will approve of.”

Dungeons 4 the Good, the Bad, and the Evil DLC Announced

Saddle up, adepts of Evil! Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Realmforge Studios have announced the first DLC for their dungeon management simulator – Dungeons 4. Get ready for an adventure with Dungeons 4 – the Good, the Bad, and the Evil, introducing a new Wild West inspired landscape on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, releasing on August 8.

Embark on an Evil pursuit against the formidable Dwarven Queen Brynnhild through the untamed West in five new missions. New dwarven units like the Pistolero, Machine Dwarf and Crack Shot, armed with powerful dwarven weaponry, add a fresh layer of tactical evilness, while Thalya goes full Wicked Wild West, bringing new passive skills into the fight against the Good.

Steam locomotives rumble across the land, brimming with dwarves armed with dynamite and guns, led by Brynnhild and her fearsome steel train, bringing hope to the forces of light and goodness—how revolting! But fear not, for you, with Thalya and your new arsenal, are the key to turning the tide in favour of Evil.

Use the new Steam trap and Hydro-Lava-non to protect your dungeon heart, which frightful new vermin, including Giant Scorpions, Lavalumps and Manavores, now call home. Once your dungeon is secure, destroy the enemy locomotives and build a carriage of carnage of your very own for the good of all that is evil!

Dungeons 4 – the Good, the Bad and the Evil will break free from the forces of Good and storm onto PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on August 8.

Disclaimer: Any resemblance to real cowboys, gun-slinging dwarves, or evil overlords is purely coincidental. No scorpions were harmed in the making of this game… probably.

Late one night you are called in to handle some embalmings. When the Mortician, Raymond, calls the mortuary when you arrive, you soon realize this is a night like none other and there’s no escape from the demonic forces plaguing the mortuary.
