Surgent Studios Confirms Team Is On Notice For Redundancy As It Looks To Secure Funding For New Project

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU developer Sergent Studios has announced that it has put its team on notice for redundancy while the company attempts to secure funding for its next project.

As a result of the move, the game division at Surgent is now on hold and the company has called for a new partner for its next project, which it describes as being much ‘darker’ than ZAU. Here’s the full statement”

We’ve decided to put the work of the Surgent games division on hiatus while we secure funding for our next project. In the meantime, we’ve unfortunately had to put our team on notice for redundancy. Everyone at Surgent worked incredibly hard to create Tales of Kenzera: ZAU — a game that truly comes from the heart. Their passion, creativity, and dedication are nothing short of extraordinary.

There are still a couple of exciting updates coming down the pipeline for ZAU. But, for now, we have a message:

Our team has created a prototype for a bold new project. It’s darker, edgier, and more visceral than our first game, but it retains all ZAU’s high-octane combat and cultural depth. And we’re looking for a partner.

Surgent Studios was founded by Abubakar Salim, an actor who is perhaps best known for his role as Bayek in 2017’s Assassin’s Creed Origins.
