London, United Kingdom - June 3, 2025 - Surgent Studios, the award-winning team behind Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU, and Pocketpair Publishing have officially revealed Surgent’s second title: Dead Take. The upcoming horror game about power and corruption in the entertainment industry is now available to wishlist on Steam.
In Dead Take, players will peel back the entertainment industry’s glittering facade to expose its darkest secrets. This gripping narrative experience will feature an impressive lineup of actors that will be revealed in the coming weeks.
"We're being secretive for a reason,” said Abubakar Salim, CEO of Surgent Studios. "The subject matter of this game is delicate, and it hits close to home. When it comes out, and it won't be long until it does, I want players to think, 'I can't believe they actually did this."
Dead Take is published by Pocketpair Publishing (Palworld, Craftopia) and is set to launch this year on PC via Steam. Players can follow Surgent Studios on X, Bluesky, Instagram, and visit the official website for more details.
