Saw: Genesis is a 3-count-1 survival game with the predecessor of Jigsaw Killer

Bloober Team releases the new Saw game (and also helps a little in development).

Saw: Genesis turns the gruesome film series into a multiplayer, first-person horror experience where you're either torturing your friends or running away from a friend who's trying to torture you. Sounds funny, seriously. It appears in 2026 for Steam Early Access and you should be able to register for the closed Alpha now.

The horror experts at Bloober Team are publishing Saw: Genesis, and it's being developed by their longtime collaborator Anshar Studios and their own publishing arm, Broken Mirror Games. Three players are the defendants and one is the judge who sets traps to create a labyrinth of pain from which the victims can escape.

Saw: Genesis plays in the time after World War I and the judge is one of the first followers of the sadistic worldview of the Jigsaw killer. In supposedly generated levels, the Judge sets traps and manipulates the Accused with secret passages, noise detection, hallucinogenic gas, paralytic toxins and an accomplice. The defendants work together to master challenges and gather keys before time runs out. If they are stuck in a trap, they must sacrifice a body part or rely on the rescue of their teammates. Decisions have permanent consequences for each game.

The Steam page of the game indicates that “later this year” comes into early access and then remains there for about a year.

Bloober Team recently rolled out its publishing business, Broken Mirror Games, starting with the announcement of I Hate This Place from Rock Square Thunder. Broken Mirror follows a Co-Development approach in support of his selected titles, which explains the double billing of Saw: Genesis.

The new Saw game (because yes, there were others) sounds like a competitive twist on Red Barrels' The Outlast Trials, which has proven there's plenty of juice in this genre of interactive, multiplayer horror.
