Surgent Studios has announced the release date for upcoming psychological horror game Dead Take, and some more fantastic actors who are joining the cast.
Let’s not beat around the bush, then, as the release date for Dead Take is July 31st, where it’ll be coming to PC via Steam and the Epic Game Store.
Having recently announced Ben Star and Neil Newbon, Surgent Studios has also announced the full cast.
Alongside the release date, the full lineup of cast members were announced including Jane Perry (Baldur’s Gate 3, Dragon Age: The Veilguard), and Alanah Pearce (Cyberpunk 2077, V/H/S/Beyond). Dead Take’s cast also includes cameo appearances from Laura Bailey (The Last of Us: Part II, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2), Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth), Sam Lake (Alan Wake II, Max Payne), Travis Willingham (Marvel Rivals, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order), and CDawgVA (Honkai: Star Rail, Card-En-Ciel).
Surgent Studios previously released Tales of Kenzera: Zau as their debut game, but have shifted to a very different style of game with Dead Take, it seems. The description of this new title is: “Set in a luxurious yet secluded Hollywood Hills mansion, Dead Take casts players as an actor (Neil Newbon as Chase Lowry) searching for his friend (Ben Starr as Vinny Monroe) gone missing after a lavish Hollywood party. As they navigate escape-room-style puzzles and splice together videos they find along the way, players will uncover the darkest secrets behind the entertainment industry’s glittering facade.”
“Dead Take is about actors. So we needed actors who’ve lived it,” said Abubakar Salim, Creative Director of Dead Take. “It’s a game about the high of ambition and the rot underneath it. The lies we tell ourselves to get in the spotlight, and the monsters we become to stay there. Everyone in this cast has felt that pressure. This was a chance to bleed it out.”
Dead Take is also published by Pocketpair Publishing, the publisher behind Craftopia, and also PalWorld, whereas Tales of Kenzera: Zau was published by EA Originals.
Dead Take is coming to PC on July 31st.
