Pocketpair Publishing and developer Surgent Studios announced the psychological horror game, Dead Take, will star Baldur’s Gate III's Neil Newbone and Final Fantasy XVI's Ben Starr in the lead voice acting roles.
"As actors in games and beyond, Neil, Ben, and I have leaned on each other through some extremely grueling times," said Dead Take director Abubakar Salim.
"In those moments, we exchanged some of the horror stories that built the foundations of this game. Not only do they bring considerable talent to the project, but they also helped create a space in which we could all be truly raw and honest. I can't wait for you to see the calibre of their performances in Dead Take."
