We're excited to announce the development of The Surge 2!
After the success of The Surge, our hardcore Action RPG released in May 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, we are happy to announce the renewal of the partnership between Deck13 and Focus Home Interactive and the development of The Surge 2, with a release date planned for 2019 on consoles and PC.
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 city with 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.
More information about The Surge 2 will be unveiled at Le What’s Next de Focus – February 7-8, the yearly press event organized by the French publisher in Paris. Deck13 will talk more about their new title to the international press, so stay tuned.
The Surge 2 will release on consoles and PC in 2019.
Great news! The Surge was one of my favourite games from last year, it suffered from limitations (lack of variety was indeed one of them) but I really liked the challenge, meaty combat system and the decaying industrial atmosphere was surprisingly unique in my opinion.
A Dark Souls clone done well and with its own personality, inferior to the source material but surely an improvement over Deck13's first Fallen attempt. The description sounds like this sequel will enhance pretty much everything again..fingers crossed.
While Deck13 aren’t talking about The Surge 2’s release date just yet, Hetenyi did say that the team will “be at the major game shows this year, E3, Gamescom, all that stuff and we'll have some pretty cool things to show.”

Unlike the first game, in which you played a particular character called Warren, in The Surge 2 you will be allowed to design your on-screen persona with a character creator. Not only will it allow you to pick your gender and appearance, you will also be able decide which kind of playstyle you would like to start the game kitted out for.

Do not go away thinking that this means there won’t be as many bosses in The Surge 2. In fact, “we're going to have more boss encounters,” Hetenyi says. “We're going to have more boss encounters that are varying sizes and levels of complexity. It's not like you're clearing area, clearing area, clearing area, BOSS. We want different levels of difficulty and challenge, bosses you can skip all together. Every level will have a big awesome end of level boss that will demand the most from you but these interstitial encounters let the player learn what is expected from them in the game.
The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.
Deck13’s The Surge 2 launching in “a few months”, though a more concrete release date wasn’t provided. Focus Interactive did confirm that it would be working with the studio on a new IP after that.
There's no steam page yet. I'm afraid this one will go to Epic.
for sure. I don't much care for the game as the first one was just a weird gimmicky poor man souls but it's a shame anyway

I'm a quite patient men, but the way you complain everywhere - i can't just smile and wave anymore - get a grip on buddy, stop searching for a blade for those veins of yours, try to take a sip of some positivism.
on topic, I liked the first game and it's way of stitching the "donors" to your body as implants. All tech setting was nice.
On the way to Jericho City, your plane is shot down by a mysterious storm and crash-lands in the outskirts. You wake up weeks later in a derelict detention facility inside the city. Armor-clad soldiers enforce Martial Law, robots are on a rampage, and a dark, expanding nanostorm looms over the cityscape...
In a bid to survive, explore the sprawling, devastated city of Jericho. Fight its numerous, ferocious threats in brutal, unforgiving combat, slashing and tearing the limbs off your opponents to steal valuable equipment that will make you stronger - strong enough to face the most fearsome, imposing foes lurking in the city. With an expanded arsenal of weapons, armors, abilities, implants, and drones to build your character, and a bigger, more varied and more ambitious world, The Surge 2 challenges you to survive and unravel its hidden secrets.
