Tales of Kenzera: Zau developer Surgent Studios has announced that its next title, Dead Take, will launch on July 31st for PC. Published by Pocketpair, it features the likes of Neil Newbon (Astarion from Baldur’s Gate 3) and Ben Starr (Clive from Final Fantasy 16). Check out the latest trailer below.

As a psychological horror title, players control Chase Lowry, who ventures into a mysterious Hollywood director’s mansion to find Vinny Monroe, his missing friend. By solving puzzles and splicing clips, they can uncover secrets and ultimately learn the truth. Of course, as creative director Abubakar Salim stated in a press release, it’s also 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.”

Newbon and Starr aren’t the only notable actors. As the trailer notes, you can look forward to seeing others like Jane Perry (Dragon Age: The Veilguard) and Alanah Pearce (Cyberpunk 2077). Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, Sam Lake, Travis Willingham and Connor Marc Colquhoun, aka CDawgVA, also have cameos. Stay tuned for more details on Dead Take ahead of its launch.
