The Surgeon Simulator franchise now belongs to publisher Atari, as was announced today.
Infogrames, a game publishing and distribution subsidiary of Atari, today announced the acquisition of the Surgeon Simulator franchise in an agreement with tinyBuild Inc.
The popular medical surgery simulator combines first-person transplants, life-saving heroics, and black humor with unexpected surgical settings (a moving ambulance, hospital corridors, and even zero gravity).
The humorous, over-the-top surgery simulation began with the release of Surgeon Simulator for PC and Mac in 2013. The original was updated with even more improbable surgeries and ported to mobile and PS4 in 2014.
Surgeon Simulator VR: Meet The Medic brought the franchise to PlayStation 4 and Windows in VR in 2016. The franchise reached the Nintendo Switch in 2018 with Surgeon Simulator CPR.
An all-new sequel with four-player online co-op, Surgeon Simulator 2: Access All Areas, was released in 2020 for PC and in 2021 for Xbox.
“More than 10 years after the original’s release, Surgeon Simulator remains a beloved and unique franchise,” said Infogrames manager Geoffroy Châteauvieux. “This was a rare opportunity to acquire a game with timeless appeal, and we are delighted to have Surgeon Simulator in the Infogrames portfolio.”
Surgeon Simulator is the second casual multiplayer simulation in the portfolio of Infogrames, which acquired the game, trademarks and underlying properties from Totally Reliable Delivery Service in April 2024.
Infogrames will seek to expand distribution, potentially develop new titles or content, and explore brand and merchandising collaborations as part of a long-term plan to sustain and expand the franchise.
