Pocketpair, creators of the game fans dubbed “Pokémon with guns,” is partnering with the studio behind “Tales of Kenzera: Zau” as it aims to publish more indie games.
Palworld, jokingly referred to as “Pokémon with guns,” was a breakout success last year, drawing in more than 25 million players in its first few months. The company’s step into publishing comes at a turbulent time for video games , especially smaller studios; last year, Among Us developer Innersloth announced its own move into publishing to help push projects forward. Pocketpair’s Palworld success, it seems, is allowing it to do the same.
Surgent’s deal with Pocketpair is separate from Uso, founder Abubakar Salim tells WIRED. Unlike the Afrofuturism of Zau, it’ll be a horror title meant to introduce players to something new. “We're taking a little detour from the Tales of Kenzera universe,” Salim says. Salim adds that the horror genre “is a fascinating space that taps into primal emotions, immersing audiences in a reality that's removed from their own yet strikes something deep and dark within us all.
