Konami Pick Up Saw the Game

Konami has picked up the rights to the in-development SAW game from the bankrupt Brash. The game rights reverted back to Liongate after the bankruptcy whom decided not to publish the title themselves and allow Konami to do so. Developers Zombie whom were working for Brash are still developing the game which will be released next Halloween around the same time as Saw VI.

Konami no doubt has it’s eye on developing the title into it’s second horror franchise. The company know for its psychological horror Silent Hill are venturing into somewhat unknown territory given that the Saw films rely on visceral violence and gore. The plot for the game will follow a character in an asylum who must decide how to take apart Jigsaw’s traps and save his intended victims.
