The Surge 2 Box Art

The Surge 2

The Surge 2 is a sci-fi action RPG developed by Deck 13 and published by Focus Home Interactive and Maximum Games. The game begins with the player waking up inside an abandoned detention facility in Jericho city following a plane crash. The military is enforcing martial law, the robots are rampaging, and an expanding nanostorm looms in the sky.

Much like the original title, the sequel features a melee combat system which encourages players to rip armored limbs off their enemies and use them to upgrade their own exo-rig. Instead of playing as Warren (the protagonist of The Surge), however, players create their own character. The sequel’s world is more expansive and open, made up of interconnected urban areas each with their set of quests and NPCs. There also are new weapon types, armor, implants, consumables, and companion drones wielding ranged weaponry.
