Speaking to MP1st, Gun Interactive confirmed that instead of a Battle Pass, the studio is looking into a “more traditional DLC” plan.

MP1st: Will we be getting the traditional Battle Pass micro-transaction model that’s in almost all multiplayer games these days?

A: We’ve discussed this internally. There’s pros and cons to that model. As of right now we’re looking at a more traditional DLC plan without a pass.

For those unaware, the Battle Pass monetization initiative has been the most popular choice these days when it comes to online games, and has been widely used by the Call of Duty franchise, Diablo 4, and more. With Gun Interactive’s more traditional approach, this sounds like the studio is looking to sell DLC packs for characters, levels and whatnot more, which — depending on who you ask — can be either a good or bad thing.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will be released this August 18 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Stay tuned to our full interview hitting the site soon.
