An upcoming Xbox Game Pass day one release, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, will be featured in a Death Match between Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett on AEW Dynamite.

The game is a multiplayer horror experience inspired by the iconic 1974 horror film of the identical title. Players will collaborate to combat horrifying enemies.

Recognized for its promotional collaborations, AEW has joined forces with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in the belief that AEW fans will find enjoyment in this game, scheduled for release on August 18.

An upcoming release on Xbox Game Pass will feature a collaboration between All Elite Wrestling and introduce the first-ever Texas Chain Saw Massacre Death Match. This Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, viewers will see the promotion of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game during a match between Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett. The exact connection between the video game and the match is still unclear, but it promises to be an exciting event for AEW fans and those anticipating the release of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on Xbox Game Pass.

Scheduled to be launched on August 18, the Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a multiplayer video game developed by Sumo Digital and published by Gun Interactive. Similar to games such as Dead by Daylight, players will team up to face off against terrifying enemies hunting them down. Based on the iconic 1974 horror film of the same name, which introduced the infamous antagonist Leatherface, this game is sure to deliver thrills to its players.

AEW announced its official tie-in to the Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game on Friday's episode of Rampage. Jeff Jarrett, the wrestler known for using a guitar to defeat his opponents, confirmed that he will face off against fellow AEW star Jeff Hardy in a Texas Chain Saw Massacre Death Match. The highly anticipated match will take place on AEW Dynamite this Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET.

While the exact details of the partnership between AEW and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre are still unclear, Jarrett hinted at some exciting plans in his announcement video. The match will follow Death Match rules, allowing for unrestricted action. These matches are typically intense and potentially bloody, which aligns with the style of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Jarrett also hinted at the possibility of Leatherface making an appearance, although his allegiance to either Jarrett or Hardy remains unknown.

AEW is well-acquainted with promotional tie-ins, having previously collaborated with Discovery's Shark Week, the movie Godzilla vs. Kong, and even the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon. While these tie-ins do not usually result in in-ring silliness like WWE's The Walking Dead zombies, they often include enjoyable surprises.

Regarding the decision to choose AEW for a significant advertising campaign, Gun Interactive appears to believe that AEW fans would be interested in their game. AEW's audience is generally more mature and inclined towards action, in contrast to WWE's kid-friendly wrestling content. This aligns with the target audience of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game. Fans can witness this themselves on Wednesday during AEW Dynamite at 8:00 PM ET.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre releases August 18 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
