Konami Picks Up the Rights For the Saw Video Game
A few months ago, we posted some sad news about Brash Entertainment closing its doors for good. One of their bigger games to be released later this year was the video game adaption of the Saw films. Because of the closer, the first game based off the popular horror franchise was in limbo.
According to a Varitey source, Konami has inked a deal with Lionsgate Entertainment to pick up where Brash left off. Developer Zombie Studios (America’s Army) who were originally working on the title, will continue to do so. The same source expects the game to be sold around the same time as the sixth installment of the Saw films.
In the same report, it was noted that Tobin Bell who played the infamous Jigsaw killer is going to lend his voice and reprise his role. They are also promising the game is going to get a much deserving ‘Mature‘ rating.
Although it has yet to be confirmed by Konami or Lionsgate, the platforms of choice for Saw: The Video Game will be the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. Meaning, if people thought the Wiimote would have been perfect to torture a virtual person (it would have), they’ll be disappointed.
