[GC 2018] A new trailer dropped for The Surge 2

A short, but very atmospheric trailer just released for Deck13’s newest game.

Focus Home Interactive and Deck 13 released a 1-minute trailer for the game because of Gamescom 2018. Although it’s a short video, it still manages to capture the feeling of the first game, but it feels even more atmospheric.

The first game is criminally underrated, it did a lot of things much better in its genre than a lot of other games. Sure, it wasn’t perfect, the environments were a little bit samey (although it never really bothered me) and the parrying system was a joke, but it was still a great game. Anyway, based on the trailers of the second game and judging from what the developers have said, we can assume that these problems will be fixed with the second game.

Here’s the official overview of the game:

„After the success of last year’s sci-fi action RPG The Surge, Focus Home Interactive and Deck 13 are ready to showcase the very first gameplay footage of The Surge 2, releasing 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

The trailer showcases the new Park sector, located in the middle of a city ravaged by the events of The Surge. Devious mercenaries called The Hunters roam the artificial, man-made forest, searching for a powerful creature. Beware their traps, their cunning cloaking devices, and most of all, the out-of-control former park guardians.

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 improving 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 FLEDGE engine. Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with more advanced dodging, directional parrying, and unique AI behaviours. 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.”

The Surge 2 is going to release in 2019 on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
