Summary
SAW: Genesis is headed to Steam Early Access in 2026, bringing a 3v1 multiplayer horror format to the SAW universe with matches set just after World War I.
One player controls the Judge—an early architect of Jigsaw’s philosophy—while three Accused try to escape a procedurally generated labyrinth through teamwork, rescue and sacrifice.
The Judge fights from the shadows rather than through brute force, using traps, perks, secret tunnels, noise detection, hallucinogenic gas, paralyzing toxins and a summonable Accomplice.
The Accused face a draining will meter and trap-heavy maps, with some captures forcing a choice between waiting for teammates or sacrificing part of their body to continue.
Bloober Team says the design targets short, replayable trials where shifting maps, puzzles and asymmetrical power dynamics make each run play out differently.
