Konami has announced that SAW is being developed for the Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows PC.

Based on the hugely popular horror motion picture franchise, the SAW video game will invite players to take part 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.

“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.”

The game is in development at Zombie Studios and promises to deliver a terrifying experience that will force players to make their choice… live or die.

The game’s scheduled for an autumn 2009 release in North America. There’s no word on a European release date at this time.
