The Surge, the Science fiction Soulslike game that hit last year, is getting a sequel. Developer Deck13 and publisher Focus Home Interactive announced they will once again be working together to bring a yet more Sci-Fi to the Dark Souls-inspired genre. They also confirmed the game will be launching in 2019.
Deck13 seems ready and eager to jump back into Soulslike develpment for the third time, after the fun, but lackluster Lord of the Fallen, followed by the pleasantly surprising follow-up The Surge garnered a bit more fan support. The Surge even gained some critical praise.
"The Surge 2 keeps what fans and critics loved about the original - hardcore combat utilising 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."
Focus Home Interactive plans to share more during their press event, happening in France today and tomorrow. More information as it comes.
