Surgent Studios Unveils ‘FixForce’

Surgent Studios, the team behind the BAFTA-winning Tales of Kenzera: ZAU and Dead Take, have unveiled their next game – the chaotic sci-fi co-op FixForce.

Described as taking place in a “post-post-apocalyptic” world where humans are long gone, FixForce is a co-op extraction platformer for up to six players to work together as a robot repair crew. From fixing bridges and towers to making ramps out of junk to get around the map, players will work together to rebuild what they can find, but it’s not always plain sailing.

With enemy bots lying in wait and the risk of running out of battery, players may lose their heads a few times during their shifts, but that doesn’t mean they can just wait around, as players will still be able to control their fallen bot until they are rescued.

Speaking about the reveal of FixForce, Surgent Studios founder Abubakar Salim said, “We saw the pure chaos and hilarity FixForce unleashed as it came together, so we made the decision to move quickly and publish it ourselves. Yes, FixForce is completely unlike anything we’ve ever done before, but look: we made one game about grief and another about abuse and thought, ‘can we have a little bit of silly, stupid fun for a second?’ I promise we’ll go back to dark and depressing after this!”

FixForce is the studio’s first self-published title and will be coming to Early Access on Steam and Epic Games on March 12, 2026. A full release on PC and Xbox is coming later this year.
