News: Jigsaw is back for more creative killing.

Konami and developer Zombie Studios have announced they're scaring up Saw II on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this Fall.

Once again, Saw II will place players into a side story that takes place outside the movie continuity, this time between the second and third movie. Konami has promised "all-new stomach-twisting traps and puzzles" and "more visceral combat" in a story that involves Detective Tapp's son Michael:

Detective Tapp's estranged son Michael [...] is trying to understand his father's death. Through a series of seemingly unconnected events, Michael finds himself facing the man responsible for his Father's demise: Jigsaw. As the game progresses, players will face mind-bending puzzles, as they navigate their way through Jigsaw's terrifying world, and defend themselves against his minions. In order to make it through Jigsaw's games, players must use their intelligence and desire to live in order to survive.

УThe original Saw video game gave horror fans and gamers a new outlet to advance their favorite genre, but left them wanting more,Ф commented Martin Schneider, European Marketing & PR Director, Konami Digital Entertainment. УSaw 2 will give it to them, but be careful for what you wish for! Our successful partnership with Lionsgate allows us to advance the survival horror genre, giving players the most intense look into the Saw universe ever.Ф

We'll have more soon.
