Bloober Team Announces SAW: Genesis, a 3v1 WWI‑Era Multiplayer Horror for Steam Early Access

Early Access will let players test short, procedurally generated 3v1 trials that feature permanent in‑match injuries, with the Judge positioned as a precursor to Jigsaw.

Overview

  • Bloober Team revealed SAW: Genesis at Summer Game Fest, with multiple outlets reporting the announcement on Friday and a live Steam page and trailer now available.
  • The game is a three‑versus‑one multiplayer title developed by Broken Mirror Games in partnership with Anshar Studios and published by Bloober Team.
  • Matches place three cooperative Accused against one trap‑wielding Judge on procedurally generated maps where players must scavenge, solve puzzles, and face rehabilitation traps that can force permanent limb sacrifices for the match.
  • The Judge uses perks, hidden corridors, a noise‑detection map, hallucinogenic gas, paralyzing toxins, and an Accomplice to shape trials while remaining physically vulnerable to coordinated Accused resistance.
  • Bloober plans to launch SAW: Genesis on PC via Steam Early Access with closed/alpha testing signups open and about a year of Early Access planned before 1.0, pricing and a final release date remain unannounced and Tobin Bell’s reported involvement is not formally confirmed.
