Dead By Daylight’s Next Season is Saw Themed

You might be confused when reading the next big event in Dead By Daylight revolves around Saw, as the franchise already got a Killer and Survivor to represent it. Is a second set on the way? Not really. The spotlight is going back on some previously introduced characters, Killer The Pig and Survivor David Tapp, to illustrate the next season of the game — which is entirely about Saw. The Pig is the costume version of Amanda Young from the films; the weapons at her disposal include a knife and bear trap cages that snap around the heads of unfortunate players. David Tapp is the same character from the original Saw, who didn’t make it past movie #1 (but the story is he was resurrected here…lucky him). Look for a new storyline revolving around these characters. Will Jigsaw himself show up? In the cutscenes definitely, but don’t expect to be able to play as the guy. He wasn’t exactly physically fit in the movies, and his puppet form wouldn’t be

Saw Series To Be Revived This Halloween

At what exact point is it safe to bring a long-running series back after you’ve pounded it into the ground? Does seven years sound fair? That’s how long Lionsgate has been sitting on the Saw franchise ever since diminishing returns killed it in 2010. Now it’s coming back this fall under the new title of Jigsaw. “Jigsaw” is the nickname of the serial murderer that the series focuses on. He’s a jerk who finds other jerks and punishes them by sticking them in twisted situations. There is more to it than that, but the backstory gets kind of insane. The original Saw remains one of the best horror movies ever made. The majority of it involves two men chained up in a single room who have to play deadly games to survive, but all the marketing focused on a scene near the beginning where a woman woke up with a bear trap stuck to her face. The image stuck. Sequels would turn the series into the torturous gore-fest it was
