BREAKING: Billy the Puppet just took to the stage at Summer Game Fest to unveil SAW: Genesis, an upcoming 3v1 multiplayer horror game from Bloober Team (The Medium, Silent Hill 2 Remake) coming soon to Steam Early Access. Check out the reveal footage below:
From Bloober and developers Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, SAW: Genesis is set in the grim aftermath of World War I, allowing players to play on either side of a confrontation in intense 3v1 matches that take place on procedurally generated maps. The game is built for short, intense matches where no two trials play out the same. Here's more from an official press release:
Step into the role of the Judge, an early architect of Jigsaw’s philosophy, manipulating the trial and its prisoners from behind the scenes. Or play as one of three Accused looking to escape the deadly labyrinth through teamwork and sacrifice.
Customize your approach with perks and traps, then seek to control the match from the shadows. Unlike other asymmetrical multiplayer games, the Judge is physically vulnerable and cannot overpower the Accused through sheer force alone.
Build your strategy around your character’s distinct advantages, such as:
Exclusive access to hidden corridors + a noise-detection map
Hallucinogenic gas and paralyzing toxins that distract and immobilize the Accused
An Accomplice that can be summoned to drag the Accused into Rehabilitation Traps
Your goal is to rehabilitate the Accused, making them choose between life and limb rather than killing them. Live or die. They make their choice.
SAW: Genesis does not yet have a set release date. Stay tuned for more as we get it.
