Focus Home Interactive has today revealed that it's once again joining forces with Deck 13 to bring us The Surge 2, a sequel to the sci-fi Souls-like action game. It's planned for release in 2019.
The sequel will apparently build upon the aspects that people enjoyed - the limb-removing combat and RPG elements - and swap the interior setting from the first game. This time, you'll be trudging through a vast city, with the promise of "larger and more ambitious level design".
There will also apparently be more options in combat and a host of new upgrades and abilities to enhance your bionic character.
Details are scarce, but the publisher has said that more details will be revealed soon at its press event in Paris, which is being held this week. Are you excited for The Surge 2? Don't replace your arms with swords in the comments below.

Focus Home Interactive: We're making The Surge 2!!!!!
cricket sounds
I quite liked The Surge. The bosses were among the worst I've played in a video game though.
I just bought the first one last week so if it's good then I'm on board for a sequel.
@Nickolaidas not from me I'm super excited the first one while rough around the edges was awesome and obviously sold enough to get a sequel. My biggest complaint was the drab environment so I'm pumped we're getting a vast futuristic city to explore.
I loved the surge, almost have plat for it. I'll buy a sequel.
@dark_knightmare2
The problem for me is that their games are mediocre souls-like at best. Plus, their bestiary is horribly limited. They need to stop releasing those games like, every twenty months, and instead take their time and make a better game overall. There is potential here, but I feel like they're rushing it.
I, uh... really? Was this necessary?
That’s unexpected but pretty cool. I wouldn’t mind trying The Surge.
Good news deck13 still will prefer lord of fallen 2....
Sweet. I liked the first one.
Got the first one for £7 but I haven't touch it yet.
It's amazing that this gets a sequel while other games have such ridiculous sales targets to even be considered for one.
Good for Deck 13 and fans of the first. I tried the demo and didn't really enjoy it that much.
@sajoey @Nickolaidas Agreed, surprised this got a sequel.
I hope Surge fans will enjoy it though.
I'm down for a souls like game. Make it good.
@Nickolaidas IMHO dark souls 3 felt like a dark soulsy attempt after they perfected the formula in bloodborne. The surge isn't by any means perfect, but it was a fun ride.
@tameshiyaku Well, I have yet to own DS3 so I can't really comment on that. Well, kudos to The Surge for having fans, I guess.
@Ridwaano Ditto on LOTF 2. I played through the first one three times. The Surge, I tried to get through demo three times and couldn't. I wish they'd drop the Dark Souls-esq combat. I'd just like to smash through a horde of robots without getting tired.
