The Company that Invented the Survival Horror Genre Partners with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures to Bring SAW, the Most Popular Horror Film Franchise of All-Time to Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and Windows PC

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - April 13, 2009 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today announced SAW is being developed for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. SAW will invite players to engage in a horrific game inside the treacherous corridors of an abandoned insane asylum that has been transformed into a gauntlet of terrors by Jigsaw, SAW's maniacal antagonist. SAW will expand the survival horror genre by allowing players, for the first time to experience the terror of SAW on the game console, by pitting them against Jigsaw, his brutal traps and the mind bending puzzles that have become synonymous with the film franchise.

"Konami, partnering with Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures to create SAW was a very organic synergy," said David Daniels, Director of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "As the leader in the survival horror genre, it only made sense to align with one of cinema's most iconic horror franchises to create an entirely new survival horror experience."
