Surgent Studios has unveiled its upcoming horror game, Dead Take, which explores themes of power and corruption within the entertainment industry. Set to release on PC later this year, the game promises a thought-provoking narrative and features an impressive cast. CEO Abubakar Salim emphasizes the delicate nature of the game's subject matter, aiming to provoke strong reactions from players. An abstract teaser trailer has been released, but further details remain under wraps. This title is part of Surgent's expanding portfolio that includes Project Uso, an Afrofuturist gothic-horror RPG, and follows their previous success, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, which recently won a BAFTA award.

Dead Take is expected to launch on PC later this year, although an exact release date has not yet been disclosed.

Dead Take is part of a growing trend in the gaming industry where horror games explore real-world issues, reflecting societal concerns through a lens of psychological tension. Previous works by Surgent Studios, like Tales of Kenzera: Zau, have already garnered critical acclaim, setting high expectations for their future projects.
