The Saw horror franchise is expanding into the gaming world with a brand-new title called Saw: Genesis. Developed by Bloober Team, this upcoming project transports the iconic torture narrative far back into the historical setting of the post-World War I era. Instead of following John Kramer, the gameplay centers around a mysterious figure known as the Judge, who subjects early 20th-century victims, including soldiers, to deadly mechanical ordeals. The title features an asymmetrical multiplayer mode where a single participant controls the vulnerable Judge while three others attempt to survive by cooperating and solving puzzles. Promotional material hints that this early adversary served as the philosophical inspiration for Jigsaw himself, though it remains unconfirmed if this storyline will integrate into the official film canon.
