Surgent Studios' Dead Take Launches on July 31, Matt Mercer, Laura Bailey and Sam Lake join the cast
Surgent Studios, the award-winning team behind Tales of Kenzera™: ZAU, and Pocketpair Publishing have officially announced that Dead Take, their upcoming psychological horror game, releases on PC on July 31 on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
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).
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 published by Pocketpair Publishing (Palworld, Craftopia) and is set to launch July 31 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Players can follow Surgent Studios on X, Bluesky, Instagram, and visit the official website for more details.
