Focus Home Interactive and Deck13 have just announced the renewal of their partnership with the development of The Surge 2. The Surge 2 promises to feature larger and more ambitious level design, more brutal combat, and an expanded limb-targeting system.
The game will also come with an even larger arsenal and array of abilities. Moreover, it will feature new enemies and bosses.
In order to celebrate this announcement, the publisher revealed the following concept art.
The Surge 2 releases on consoles and PC in 2019.
As the press release reads:
“The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original – hardcore combat utilizing a unique, dynamic limb targeting system and deep character progression – while also expanding greatly upon the formula. The Surge 2 takes place in a brand new environment: a sprawling, devastated citywith larger and more ambitious level design, made possible by Deck13’s upgraded and improved engine. Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with even more options thanks to an expanded limb targeting system. In addition, more abilities, weapons, implants, and drones give players a vast arsenal to build their character with, in their fight against the array of diverse new enemies and bosses.”
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Cool, this is awesome news! The Surge is a solid game and also runs well.
Nope and nope
And no “player choice” patented manipulation or loot GAMBLING crap. Agreed on performance and loved all the content I got for the price. They sold us what was advertised, with no scheming discovered.
I will most likely be picking up #2 on day one.
Im quite enjoying Surge, and while Dark Souls games didnt manage to win me over, thos game has.
Maybe its the scifi setting, whoch is cool armor and weapons, the level design and texturing, even the ok story behind it. I guess the package is strong.
My only gripe is the lack of Objectives screen and that of a Map. Yeah the exclusion of a Map module is pretty harsh imo.
Although with the tons of backtracking and “corpse running”, you eventually come to familiarise pretty much with each level .
Except the last level which was hell to navigate.
The last lvl os cancerous because of all the Black Cerberous roaming around.
Otherwise its not really complex at all. Im at Nucleus, 2nd lvl myself. Taking it slow. All the dieing is an exercise to my patience.
No multiplayer again? That’s a no from me.
Multiplayer has ruined the gaming industry.
Dark Souls series was a blast to play cooperatively with my brother. Since we finished DS3 we have been waiting for something similar to play together again. I liked the first the surge and was hoping that the sequel would have coop…same thing with lords of the fallen.
Never played Lords of the Fallen or The Surge, but Deck 13 seems to be a flawed yet fairly solid middle market developer that continues to improve with each release. Hopefully this is the game that really stands out as great for them.
I can honestly say to give The Surge a shot. Being a “souls-snob” i gave The Surge a pretty decent recommendation. Its not as deep or intricate as DS but its not trying to be. For what it set out to do, it did it well and it runs very well on most hardware.
Necromorphs or Binary Domain robots would be the perfect enemies for the limb targeting system. They did put an enemy like that but it didn’t worked out as great as those games did…
Well there is a dark souls like game that looks like dead space, its called hellpoint, there is a demo you can try
Looks like standard Dark Souls with sci-fi facepaint(kinda look dumb sci-fi with sword and shield), no tactical dismemberment with enemies changing tactics/behaviour like Dead Space or Binary Domain.
ADD BOSSES FAM
Gotta say the Surge bosses are waaay freacking hard, worse than most Dark Souls 3 bosses

I still need to finish that game; but I loved what I played right amount of challenging and interesting.
Horrible game, even Lords of the fallen didn’t suck as much as the surge
i’m actually suprised they consider it a success
a 100K sales so far? that’s rather pitiful.
Why tho?
I still haven’t finished it but I’m liking it so far.
“Yay!” said I (one of the very few people in the world to care)…. 😀
