Saw: Genesis Proves There's a Better Way to Do Multiplayer Killers | First Look
About this episode
Kahlief Adams provides a first look at Bloober Team's new multiplayer horror game, Saw: Genesis, showcasing its unique mechanics and gameplay.
At Summer Game Fest 2026 I got a first look at Saw: Genesis — and it's Bloober Team's first-ever multiplayer game. It's a 3v1 asymmetrical horror game set just after World War I: one Judge (a brand-new villain, not Jigsaw) traps three Accused players in escape-room-style torture chambers. There's a constant co-op push-and-pull, brutal sacrifice mechanics — lose an eyeball, a hand, or a foot, and it changes how you move and what you can do — a “vulnerable killer” players can actually take down, and a ping system forcommunication. It's Bloober rethinking both multiplayer and the Saw IP, and I'm hyped.
