At gamescom 2026, a playable demo of 'SAW: Genesis' was shown at the Bloober Team booth. The first-person asymmetric horror, co-developed by Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, is set about 100 years before Jigsaw, after World War I. Three 'The Accused' face one 'The Judge' in a 3-vs-1 balance. The Judge, a former surgeon called The Doctor, relies on cunning, not strength. The demo is on the Steam store page, with early access anticipated.
Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, with Bloober Team publishing, released a new trailer for SAW: Genesis on June 23, 2026. The 3-versus-1 asymmetric multiplayer horror game is set 100 years before the Jigsaw killer, in the post-World War I era. One player takes the role of the Judge, a prototype of Jigsaw's philosophy, who traps three Defendants in a procedurally generated map full of traps. The Defendants must collect items and find escape routes within a time limit. If caught, they can sacrifice a limb to escape alone or wait for teammates to rescue them. The Judge, introduced as The Doctor, uses dedicated passages and elevators to survey the map from above, throwing objects and setting traps to obstruct the Defendants. The Judge cannot directly kill the Defendants; their goal is to force reformation through pain and sacrifice. Multiple victory conditions exist for both sides. The release date has not been announced, but a closed alpha test is scheduled for early July 2026, with sign-ups open on the official website.
