Bloober Team delays Saw: Genesis early access to 2027

Bloober Team has announced that the early-access launch of its asymmetrical multiplayer horror game, Saw: Genesis, has been delayed from late 2026 to the first quarter of 2027.

The developer stated the delay is necessary to ensure the title reaches a level of quality that satisfies both the franchise's fans and the studio's own standards. The decision follows extensive testing and the collection of player feedback, which the studio intends to use to optimize gameplay elements and performance.

Set roughly a century before the events of the film franchise, Saw: Genesis features a 3v1 gameplay loop. One player acts as the “Judge,” managing a labyrinth of traps, while three victims attempt to solve puzzles and escape. The studio noted that additional time is required to refine core mechanics, visual animations, and overall presentation to ensure a successful rollout in a competitive market.
