Bloober Team is bringing SAW: Genesis to Steam Early Access.

Set in the grim aftermath of World War I, SAW: Genesis allows you to play on either side of a 3v1 confrontation in intense matches that take place on procedurally generated maps. The game is built for short, intense matches where no two trials play out the same.

Step into the role of the Judge, an early architect of Jigsaw’s philosophy, manipulating the trial and its prisoners from behind the scenes. Or play as one of three Accused looking to escape the deadly labyrinth through teamwork and sacrifice. Shaped by their experiences in The Great War, the Judge is dedicated to rehabilitating humanity through pain and sacrifice.

Customize your approach with perks and traps, then seek to control the match from the shadows. Unlike other asymmetrical multiplayer games, the Judge is physically vulnerable and cannot overpower the Accused through sheer force alone.

Build your strategy around your character’s distinct advantages, such as:

• Exclusive access to hidden corridors + a noise-detection map
• Hallucinogenic gas and paralyzing toxins that distract and immobilize the Accused
• An Accomplice that can be summoned to drag the Accused into Rehabilitation Traps

Your goal is to rehabilitate the Accused, making them choose between life and limb rather than killing them. Live or die. They make their choice.
