Two prominent Lionsgate producers have revealed that the company is looking to create games based on the popular Saw horror series.

Responding to fan questions on Reddit, the producers stated that Lionsgate has brought them “some incredible projects”. While details are still scarce, they assure fans that the project “will be 100% realized.”

Saw film series producers Mark Burg and Oren Koules recently held an Ask Me Anything on the subreddit/r/horror. In it, the duo answered some fan questions about the future of the franchise. One of those questions was about the possibility of a Saw game series specifically for next-gen consoles. In response to the official Lionsgate Reddit account, the producers revealed that Lionsgate gave them several projects they were currently exploring.

However, this isn’t the first time the popular horror series has made its foray into video games… Konami released Saw: The Video Game in 2009 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. Developer Zombie Studios even made a sequel, Saw II: Flesh & Blood, which received notably unfavorable reviews. The series wouldn’t see any video game content until 2018 when Dead By Daylight acquired the franchise in the form of killer and survivor DLC.

Lionsgate has also been involved in other video game projects as well. Lionsgate’s game publishing division, Lionsgate Games, published Bloober Team’s Blair Witch game, based on the horror film franchise of the same name.

Notably, the film studio is also producing the film adaptation of Borderlands. Lionsgate has released several updates on Borderlands in recent months. Big-name actors such as Thor: Ragnarok’s Cate Blanchett, comedian Kevin Hart, and Halloween’s Jamie Lee Curtis are confirmed as part of the star-studded cast.

While any Saw game is probably a ways off, rest assured that it will “100% happen” at some point, bringing the legendary and gruesome trap-based horror franchise to consoles once again.
