Underneath an eerie headline of ‘Oh yes.. There will be blood…’ a Brash press release sent out today reveals the title will be released in October 2009 – to coincide with the fifth film in the series coming to cinemas. The title is being developed for next-gen platforms and is being built using Epic’s Unreal 3 game engine.

Brash promises that Saw the video game “will have its own unique storyline, while answering questions left unanswered by the Saw films”. The firm says it is “working closely” with film companies Lions Gate and Twisted pictures, as well as creators of the Saw franchise, Leigh Whannell and James Wan.
