New map. New characters. All-new gameplay. A brand new Johnny-themed game mode called “Rush Week” is coming to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game, and the team has announced today that it’s launching early with the Content Pass on September 26.

“Rush Week” will then be available for FREE for EVERYONE on September 30.

Watch the official trailer below and read on for everything you need to know!

The brand new game mode is a 1v6 multiplayer mode that focuses on Johnny ‘Pretty Boy’ Slaughter and will be a whole new way to experience The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

For starters, the new multi-player game mode is said to be inspired by the late 1970s slasher films, and it takes place five years AFTER the events of the original Chain Saw movie.

Gun Interactive previews, “Johnny is off wreaking havoc to unsuspecting Victims. Landing at the Omega Sigma Theta Sorority House, we set our scene with Johnny attempting to break in. The goal for the Sorority Girls? Survive and make it out alive. Johnny and six new playable Sorority Girls will be randomly assigned at the start of the match.

“This two-story Sorority House features multiple spots to run and hide in, including a locked basement that can be explored. Traversal is similar to the original game, with multiple windows that can be jumped out of, ladders to climb, and even an attic area with its own unique escape option.

“While the Sorority Girls will not have any perks, there are key items scattered throughout the house to help them escape. A pair of car keys can be found to unlock a car where you can radio to the police to get help. Secondarily, players can also complete a fuse objective to use a phone in the house to call the police, as well. If the police have been called successfully, players have a limited amount of time to survive in the Sorority House with Johnny. There is an Attic Pole that can be used to make your final escape via an attic hatch, but be warned, at most only two Sorority Girls can escape through that exit. Johnny players can also break the ladder to prevent their escapes.

“The Sorority Girls can buy themselves time by using various weapons and distractions like the wrench, the knife, and the pepper spray, as well as an all new mechanic using perfume that can be thrown at him to reveal his location. Johnny’s objective is to Hunt. With each execution, he will get stronger, making him more lethal the longer a match goes. Within ‘Rush Week’ there will be a Fear system in place where if a Sorority Girl has a high level of Fear, Johnny can smell that fear and find them easier. So, it’s important for the Sorority Girls to complete objectives in order to lower their amount of fear or Johnny is going to get them.”

Enjoy 4 days of Early Access to this brand new game mode by purchasing the Content Pass for $19.99 USD. Upon purchase, Content Pass holders will be able to jump into ‘Rush Week’ while also unlocking Execution Pack 4. Check out the tweets below to learn more.

A month after exiting Early Access, turn-based survival roguelike Terminus: Zombie Survivors has surpassed 100,000 copies sold, according to developer Longplay Studios. Alongside the milestone, the developer also took the opportunity to update fans on the next update for the game.

“We are deeply thankful for the incredible support from our players,” said In-geon, lead developer at Longplay Studios. “Their feedback has been instrumental in shaping Terminus: Zombie Survivors, and we’re excited to continue building on this momentum with more content and updates.”

Originally launching Terminus: Zombie Survivors in Early Access in 2021, Longplay Studios has worked closely with its growing community, implementing regular updates that significantly expanded the game’s features based on player feedback. These updates included new crafting options, advanced survival mechanics, and more strategic decision-making, helping to create the rich gameplay experience that has captivated players worldwide.

As for the next update, Longplay Studios currently working on the 1.1 NPC update, which will introduce new human enemies. No timeframe as to when the update will be released, but in keep with their goal of listening to the community, Longplay is currently hosting a discussion on the Terminus Community page to gather feedback from players.

For those who haven’t jumped into the game (which is available on Steam), Terminus: Zombie Survivors is set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse. Weeks have passed since the zombie virus took hold of humanity, and most of the population has already been infected. As one of the few remaining survivors, you must finally venture out to join up with the other survivors at the Terminus. Battle your way through hunger, frigid temperatures, and ravenous zombies to make it to the Terminus, escape the city through various means, or even develop a vaccine.
