'Saw 2: Flesh And Blood' Dated For October 19

The kingpin of torture porn film franchises has yet another game on its way, and "Saw 2: Flesh and Blood" now has an in-store date set for October 19, 2010. The games have a long way to go before they catch up with "Saw 7 3D," which is due out in theaters October 29, but they'll be one step closer after Konami straps "Flesh and Blood" into Xbox 360's and PlayStation 3's this fall, and they've paved its road to release with some concept artwork.

"Just the silhouette of the character in the trap had to make the viewer uncomfortable," Zombie Studios producer John Williamson said in a statement (via Joystiq). "You had to know instantly that something bad was going to happen to this person if you didn't get them out."

The game contains traps, puzzles and combat, just as you would expect it to, and puts you in the shoes of Michael, the estranged son of Detective Tapp, who is trying to find out what happened to the missing fellow. Jigsaw's minions and inventions stand in the way, though, and if you love feeling squeamish, "Flesh and Blood" wants you to be its friend.

The October 19 launch will stretch the Saw marketing party across half a month instead of focusing all of its energy on Halloween week, but I'm sure Walmart and Walgreens will surely have no problem putting Halloween candy and lawn decorations out well ahead of that date, so it should fit in convincingly among the other retail displays when it arrives.
