Surgent Studios puts staff on hiatus while searching for a publisher

Surgent Studios, the developer behind indie title Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, has made its entire game development staff redundancy notice while it searches for a publisher for the next game, the studio announced today.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Surgent Studio stated that they have not yet been able to find a partner for their next game in development. The game, which is not announced as a successor to ZAU but is stated to carry on its design lineage, cannot continue on without money to pay the staff. While a prototype has been created, no greenlight has been given yet.
