What is SAW Genesis?
SAW Genesis is a 3v1 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game from Bloober Team that takes the SAW franchise back to 1920s London, decades before John Kramer's trials. One player becomes the Judge, an early architect of the philosophy that would become Jigsaw, while three Accused players work together to solve trials, survive traps, and escape a maze that reshuffles every match.
Instead of a modern industrial basement, SAW Genesis unfolds in the grim aftermath of World War I, where crude steam-driven traps and permanent injuries turn every choice into a life-or-limb decision. Our SAW Genesis Wiki covers the roles, trap survival tactics, story, platforms, and release updates with free guides built from confirmed details.
