This Week In Video Games 6/22/26 — 6/26/26

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

There we go, wrapping up one more week and covering so many video games and pop culture things going on out there in the world. Some are to get us all ready for #SDCC2026, and others are to build into #EVO2026, which is going on as you are reading all of this. Not too shabby after cleaning up all of the titles we missed, like #MarvelTokon: Fighting Souls and #TheWalkingDead: Streets Of Survival from before. That is in addition to getting further updates for video games like #SAWGenesis and #InvincibleVS as well. Not the biggest of weeks, but still one that has cleared up so much to get us ready for all that the summer truly has to offer up, now that it has officially started.

 

SAW: Genesis Gets Us Ready To Play The Games With Its Features

Dive into the gameplay features for SAW: Genesis to see how this all might build further into the #SAW IP

The announcement for #SAWGenesis left many of us scratching our heads with the premise and story. That is to say the least. Not that it sounded like it would be a bad game from Anshar Studios and Broken Mirror Games. Just that it felt like it was outside the norm of the IP so much that it might not work. Then again, Bloober Team has been backing so many great projects as of late, it would have been bad form to just dismiss SAW: Genesis based just on the story and setting. That can all be tossed aside as long as the game has a fun gameplay loop and plenty of things to keep us all locked into our #PC for it. That, thankfully, is why we are here again for the game. Now, we get to see just how this 3v1 asymmetrical horror game will actually play as the game carries on.

 

SAW: Genesis Asks Us All To Play A Very Old Game Again

A new title in the SAW IP is on the way to us, with the announcement of #SAWGenesis taking us into The Great War

Even though the film side of things seems to be in a weird limbo, the video game side of things got a little bit of a surprise with #SAW: Genesis getting announced. A new and interesting entry into the IP with Anshar Studios and Bloober Team coming together to bring it all to the #PC. Not the exact set of teams I was expecting, yet still the teams that I have a feeling have a good chance of doing it correctly. Even if SAW: Genesis does seem to take a weird turn right out of the gate when it comes to the setting. Not that they moved out of a nameless, brooding city, but that the game will set just after the time of The Great War. That would be World War I for those who might have thought this was some different war that the game might be referencing.
