Saw II: Flesh & Blood is noted to be a third person game fashioned for the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles as well as a downloadable version for the Microsoft Windows platform. The survival horror title is the sequel to Saw which released last year. Konami Digital Entertainment now plans to return with the same bone-chilling experience by roping in actor Tobin Bell for the voice of Jigsaw in Saw II: Flesh & Blood.
The acclaimed actor Tobin Bell is known to be amongst cinema’s most terrifying villains. The horror ingredient in the upcoming game is further heightened by the chilling and recognizable voice of Bell. He prefers addressing his victims in the form of recordings as he communicates via a puppet called Billy. The feared villain Jigsaw ensnares people in brutal mechanical devices where they are forced to ponder over their mistakes. As they resolve whether to live, players can expect the consequences thereafter to be quite gruesome.
Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment stated, “Tobin Bell had such a prevailing performance in the first Saw game that there was no question about bringing him back for the sequel. Having Tobin’s voice and likeness in Saw II: Flesh & Blood will give players their own haunting one-on-one relationship with Jigsaw, creating a horrifying and frightening experience that no Saw fan will ever forget.”
“We are excited Tobin Bell is lending his voice once again for the video games second installment, Saw II: Flesh & Blood. It’s important for us to bring the original Saw elements into the gamers view while staying consistent and keeping our die hard fans happy,” revealed franchise producers, Mark Burg and Oren Koules of Twisted Pictures.
Developed by Zombie Studios and published by Konami, Saw II: Flesh & Blood features a brand new captivating storyline that occurs between the first two films. Players enter the twisted game taking on the role of Detective Tapp’s whose estranged son Michael is captured by Jigsaw. Throughout the game, they are faced with loads of challenges and puzzles while fending off his evil minions. The latest title is also embedded with deadly traps like the Elevator Music which will rip the victims to shreds if they do not find the answers to three sets of puzzles within a set time limit.
Konami is expected to release Saw II: Flesh & Blood in North America by Halloween this year. The seventh installment in the Saw movie franchise will also hit cinemas in 3D around the same time.
