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.
