Montréal, Canada — January 25, 2022 — Tome 10: SAW is opening soon within The Archives, revealing three new never-before-seen stories from the world of Dead by Daylight and SAW. To celebrate the game’s first fully licensed Tome, the iconic role of Jigsaw from global content leader Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B) and Twisted Pictures’ SAW franchise enters the Reveal Trailer of the new Tome available January 26th. In addition to uncovering the memories of Amanda Young (The Pig) and Detective Tapp as the Rift opens, players will also get to unlock the Book of SAW Collection, offering new outfits for the two fan-favourite characters.
Watch the trailer here:
“Over and above our primary objective of providing our fans with fun and continuously renewed content, one of our goals when integrating a powerful movie franchise such as SAW is to invite a larger community into the Dead by Daylight universe,” explains Mathieu Côté, Game Director, Dead by Daylight. “With Tome 10 of the Archives, we have the chance to speak to a completely new audience through the voice of Jigsaw in our Reveal Trailer, and we’re truly grateful to our partner Lionsgate for offering us this opportunity.”
“It has been a joy to continue our collaboration with Behaviour on the first branded IP release of SAW in Tome 10,” said Jenefer Brown, EVP of Global Live, Interactive & Location-Based Entertainment at Lionsgate. “The SAW legacy continues, and we are excited for fans and players to explore the rich new narratives that we’ve extended, featuring our iconic characters. As you play, remember Jigsaw’s words – make your choice (carefully).”
A Macabre Game of Life and Death
In this brutal and unforgiving Tome, a twisted student of Jigsaw finds herself tempted by a dark epiphany and a determined detective faces the choice of a lifetime. Players will witness the Auris, a device capable of peering into the memories of those who have entered the Fog. Through it, the mysterious Observer will grant them access to a new series of challenges to complete, designed to help piece together these memories as well as his role within the Entity’s Realm. When pushed to excruciating limits, to what lengths will they go to survive?
Hello. I Want to Play a Game.
Stories and memories are like pieces of a puzzle, and with each Tome comes a new Rift, bringing brand new, time-limited rewards to collect by completing challenges. In the SAW Rift, fans will be able to earn over 60 cosmetic items including 12 new outfits to be theirs forever, charms as well as the Book of SAW Collection for Amanda Young (The Pig) and Detective Tapp. To appreciate life, Amanda would have to suffer. So, among other features, the Amanda’s Rebirth Very Rare Outfit for The Pig presents a reverse bear trap crown that she wears around her head as well as a cruel blade that tears the flesh of her victims. She also wears the robes of her mentor, Jigsaw, making her entire outfit a nightmarish interpretation of her disturbed state of mind. Sporting a casual hat and shades, the Grill Champ Very Rare Outfit for Detective Tapp gives players a glimpse at what his life could have been had he given up his obsession with catching Jigsaw. Finally relaxing and enjoying the summer days, Tapp's pork-themed BBQ attire shows off his love and mastery of the grill.
Tome 10: SAW will be available on January 26th on Steam, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Epic Games Store, Windows Store, Nintendo Switch and Stadia.
