The awaited sequel to Deck 13’s and Focus Home Interactive sci-fi Action RPG now has a release date. The Surge 2, a project that I’ve been waiting on as I’m a huge fan of the first, will release on September 24th, 2019. The Surge 2 will be available on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The release date also happens to be the same one that was leaked by the Australian Microsoft Store, just the other day.

Previous reports state that the Xbox One X will see also see some improvements in the framerate department. I haven’t seen anything yet regarding the PS4 Pro. However, both consoles did see a nice boast with the original game. Something of which I suspect will apply to the sequel.
Needless to say that The Surge 2 will be on my “must play” list as soon as it gets released. Hopefully, we’ll hear and see some of the title during E3 2019.
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.
- Hardcore, brutal melee combat
- Face deadly foes and colossal bosses
- Cut off parts of the enemy you want to loot
- Rich character progression and customization
