Say, are you fond of games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but tired of the same dark-fantasy theme that these games seem to stick with? Yeah, me too – but fear not! If you’re looking for a different take on the souls-like genre, you should be excited about The Surge 2, a sci-fi souls-like coming from Deck13 next year.
If you aren’t familiar, the original The Surge was released in early 2017 (right in the middle of a release calendar of some massive games like Breath of The Wild). Imagine Bloodborne, but with mech suits, and in a colorful, Mass Effect-like sci-fi world. That’s The Surge. When it was released, The Surge was certainly an interesting take on the genre it settled itself into but was ultimately bogged down by a cobbled-together story. It got decent enough reviews, but at the time there were so many games coming out that it got a bit buried.
Regardless of how the first game performed, the second game is shaping up to be just as worthy a title, if not more so. Deck13 showed off the first footage of the game a couple of months ago, but just Wednesday they released a brand new gameplay trailer that looked just as brutal and beautiful as we expected it to be. We can’t wait. Check out the new trailer below:
