The second closed alpha test for SAW: Genesis will run from September 17 to 20. Broken Mirror Games and Anshar Studios, with Bloober Team as publisher, announced the test window on September 4. The game takes place about 100 years before Jigsaw appears, where one judge, a prototype of his ideology, traps three defendants in a space full of traps to force their rehabilitation.
Organizers expect roughly three times as many participants as the previous test. The game does not appear to support Japanese, though players comfortable with English may still apply. Applications are being accepted on the official website. A hands-on report from gamescom 2026, where a playable demo was shown, is also available.
