SAW: Genesis, a multiplayer horror game based on the SAW franchise, has been delayed from its original early access launch at the end of 2026 to the first quarter of 2027. The developers stated that the extra time will be used to improve performance and refine the game, particularly based on player feedback. The team emphasized that the quality of the game is a priority, especially given the importance of the SAW brand to its fans. Their goal is to deliver an experience that honors the franchise's legacy while also functioning as a standalone multiplayer horror game. SAW: Genesis is built around an asymmetric gameplay model, where one player takes on the role of the Judge, while the other three play as the Accused. The Accused must explore environments, complete challenges, and collect keys in an attempt to escape before time runs out, while the Judge tries to stop them. This dynamic creates a tense, competitive experience that is central to the game's design. In recent months, the developers have gathered a significant amount of feedback and tested the game under various conditions. While initial reactions were generally positive, some players have reported performance issues and other elements that require further refinement. Rather than sticking to the original release schedule, the team has decided to take more time to address these concerns and ensure a polished product. To date, SAW: Genesis is officially announced for PC, with a digital early access release planned on Steam. Console versions have not been officially confirmed, though the developers may consider them in the future. The delay reflects the team's commitment to delivering a high-quality experience that meets the expectations of both fans of the franchise and players of multiplayer horror games.
