News: The PS3 and Xbox 360 sequel will be released ten days before the final Saw film, Saw 3D.

Konami has announced that the second video game based on the Saw film franchise, Saw II: Flesh and Blood, will be released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 19. Saw II's release is timed to coincide with the theatrical release of the final film in the series, Saw 3D, which takes place ten days later on October 29.

Like the film, the game will take players all the way back to the beginnings of the Saw saga. Gamers will take on the role of Michael Tapp, the estranged son of Danny Glover's character from the first movie. Like his father, Michael gets too close to Jigsaw's world and has to solve his deadly puzzles in an attempt to get out:

Saw II: Flesh & Blood threatens sanity with new stomach-twisting traps and puzzles, more visceral combat, and an all-new storyline that takes place between the first and second movies. Gamers take on the role of Detective Tapp's estranged son Michael, who is trying to understand his father's death. As players navigate their way through Jigsaw's terrifying world, they will face mind-bending puzzles and must defend themselves against the minions Jigsaw has placed in their path. In order to survive Jigsaw's games, players must use their intelligence and desire to live in order to survive.

We'll have more soon.
