We're excited to announce the development of The Surge 2!

After the success of The Surge, our hardcore Action RPG released in May 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, we are happy to announce the renewal of the partnership between Deck13 and Focus Home Interactive and the development of The Surge 2, with a release date planned for 2019 on consoles and PC.

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 expanding greatly upon 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 engine.

Combat is more brutal and tactical than ever, with even more options thanks to an expanded limb targeting system. 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.

More information about The Surge 2 have been unveiled at Le What’s Next de Focus, the yearly press event organized by the French publisher in Paris in February. Learn more about The Surge 2 in this article from PCGamesN published after the show!

The Surge 2 will release on consoles and PC in 2019.

The Valley is a brand new free DLC coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One on February 13th. This first DLC will include brand new content for the game, with three new vehicles and a new map. Similar to Deluge in the base game, you will start outside of a garage, and will need to claim one for yourself.

In the lead-up to the release of The Valley, we have resurrected the Vehicle Presentation to tell you about the new vehicles being added to the game in the free DLC! This will also be a great place to ask questions about the vehicle specifically, how it handles, and the niche it fills.

Vehicle Description

The first cabriolet vehicle, the A-969 is a small scout vehicle about to travel quite quickly around maps, carrying utilities that make it able to support itself on long scouting missions.

Game Stats

The A-969 has a fuel capacity of 40L, features both all-wheel drive and differential lock and can sustain up to 300 points of damage. It's available at the beginning of The Valley, and will be your primary tool for exploring the map and finding routes to use.

Strengths

The A-969 is the first of the 4x4 vehicles that is able to carry spare fuel with it, giving you speedy fuel access in a tight situation.

Weaknesses

The A-969 struggles with deep water and tough mud, making it risky to send on cross-country trips.

Attachments

As a scout vehicle, the A-969 doesn't carry a huge complement of utilities.

These are:

• Fuel Canisters - Carries 200 Fuel
• Garage Parts - Carries Two Garage Points
• Spare Wheel – Carries 120 Repair Points
• Utility Attachment - Carries 60 Fuel, 200 Repair Points

See you next week for the next vehicle presentation!

@wrenchinmonkey Hi there,

We've said a couple of times that we're still working on map support in the workshop, it will be coming in a future update.

@mr-t You're correct, it should say 4 parts for the garage semi-trailer. I've fixed that now.

We do plan to have each vehicle presentation on Fridays, that's correct

Hi all,

We can confirm that these reports are legitimate, and written by Focus Home Interactive.

We will have more information on this and more at the What's Next event. You can expect more information in the weeks after that (mid-February).

We continue to look into this for all of you, and we do plan on having an update out fixing the issue. Thank you all for your continued feedback.
