Deck13 has been answering some fan questions via its official Twitter account, revealing some new information about The Surge 2. According to the developers, the game will feature new game plus, it will have double the number of weapon classes (than its predecessor) and the weapon skill system will be enhanced and upgraded.
The team has also immensely upgraded the drone and what you can do with it in terms of ranged combat (the drone is now physically mounted to the exosuit), there will be more bosses (at least twice as many boss fights. Some will be smaller, others even larger than the bosses in Surge 1) and a large variety of enemies, the AI will be improved/enhanced, and some enemies will have guns.
The combo mechanics have been completely rewritten, lots of fighting and combo mechanics have been upgraded and there is a lot more flexibility in cooldowns now. Furthermore, levels will be more interconnected and traversing the world is possible in many more layers now.
Last but not least, The Surge 2 will feature several online features, however, it will not support a co-op mode, at least when it releases in 2019.

Great news! The Surge was such a pleasant surprise. It was a big improvement over their first Dark Soul’s clone, Lords of the Fallen.
It truly was, it also was harder than Dark Souls ever was because the game was actively far more unfair in terms of how damaging enemies were. There wasn’t as much wiggle room from dodging or escaping enemy attacks if you got stunlocked in an ambush or fighting a boss. It barely had I-Frames in the dodging.
it also had one of the best mechanics for gaining new armor by having to behead, dismember, or cut in half the enemies in order to gain gear schematics. Far more interesting than Dark Souls way of gaining new gear from just finding it laying around, buying it, or sacrificing boss souls for gear.
Awesome, I can’t wait I really enjoyed the 1st one. That forest gameplay video going around looked really nice. I personally am really looking forward to what they do with Lords of the Fallen 2. Good, times.
