Hello PlayStation.Blog Readers! Deck13 team here to talk about The Surge, a new hardcore action-RPG we’re working on. Today we’re proud to unveil a CGI trailer exploring Warren’s first day on the job at CREO, the megacorporation on a mission to save a dystopian world from itself.
Freshly recruited as an augmented worker, Warren’s first day coincides with a catastrophic event deep inside CREO, during the routine surgical operation meant to graft, through flesh and bone, the exo-suit required for the company’s employees. This disastrous event marks the first in a series of brutal events, turning this first day at CREO into a hellish nightmare of robots gone haywire, crazed employees with fried cranial implants, and artificial intelligence that all wants Warren dead.
Now equipped with a state-of-the-art exoskeleton, you’ll have to improvise in order to survive — tools manipulated by CREO workers, while not originally meant for combat, make for effective lethal weapons; the equipment pieces compatible with your exo-suit will make you faster, stronger, sturdier. During battle, target specific limbs of your enemies, slice them and retrieve the powerful attached equipment to improve and power-up your own suit, allowing you to delve deeper in the CREO complex and attempt to put an end to the madness initiated by the Surge.
Make the most of your exo-suit, armors, and almost limitless armament combinations to survive CREO when The Surge slices its way onto PS4 in May 2017.
I loved Lords of the Fallen (it was the game that made me buy a PS4), but it lacked a good story throughout the game. I do hope you guys put that into account with The Surge.
Graphics and gameplay look fantastic and I’m eager to get my hands on the game.
Congrats!
Happy to hear that you’re interested. We’ve put a lot of effort into the story and game world. So I hope this will be for you.
Deck13, will you be supporting the PS4 Pro on day 1? If so, what is your targeted resolution/fps? Pro support honestly influences my buying decisions.
@ iamtylerdurden1 – Pff.
So it plays like LORD OF THE FALLEN then gameplay mechanics wise?
Dead Space in a robot factory?
Could be interesting.
More like Dark Souls meets Technomancer. Or, Lords of the Fallen with a sci fi setting.
Deck13 is talented and LotF was a masterpiece, day 1 buy.
@ iamtylerdurden1 – “Deck13 is talented and LotF was a masterpiece”…lol.
Looks really awesome. I enjoyed LotF, so I’m ready for this (Sci-fi Souls). May is a great release time too. I’ve been contemplating applying as an environment artist as well.
Eh, I don’t know. As a disillusioned CoD fan, I had enough of exo-suits. I’ll wait until I see some gameplay.
There you go, direct from the publisher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoa5pFOFQrY
There actually is gameplay if you bother enough to search google. Looks pretty nice.
There is plenty of gameplay already. It is Dark Souls style gameplay but with better, faster combat where you can target specific body parts and with a sci fi setting. Looks so good.
I’m so pumped for this game. I really enjoyed lords of the fallen and platinumed the game. I didn’t feel like it got enough praise and respect. I love the setting and the combat looks good can’t wait for this.
another caucasian male 35-40 protagonist, what a surprise! he doesn’t have a beard though… well, at least he’s ugly, i guess

Whats your problem kid?
1. These games are made in the west for western audience, so of course its going to be White like the majority.
2. No one wants to play as kid, thats sick and very Japanese, im 35 so works fine for me.
Got ma eyes on this game since I saw a long gameplay of it…looked good.Looking forward to see more of it.
I like the setting a lot, I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Not only do i believe LOTF was under rated BUT i enjoyed it so much it instantly built confidence within me for the developers and cant wait to get me hands on this, looks great.
