Surgent Studios Halts Game Division Amid Funding Struggles

The developer of Tales of Kenzera: ZAU seeks partners to continue its next project as staff face potential layoffs.

Surgent Studios has put its game division on hiatus due to a lack of funding, placing staff on notice for redundancy.
The studio is actively seeking partners to fund its next project, which is described as darker and more visceral than their debut game.
Despite positive reviews, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU did not perform well commercially, leading to financial challenges for the studio.
The company has previously experienced layoffs, with over a dozen employees let go in June, three months after the game's release.
Surgent Studios plans to release updates for Tales of Kenzera: ZAU while exploring options for their future projects.
