The Surge: A Walk in the Park expansion gets action-packed launch trailer
Dark Souls-like The Surge is set in a dystopian future as Earth nears the end of its life.
Those who remain in overpopulated cities must work to survive as social programs become saturated by an aging population and increasing environmental disasters. The world is bleak and individuals have to head out to the suburbs seeking jobs. In order to increase their productivity, exoskeletons are fused onto their bodies. This is where the problems begin for Warren on his first day on the job. The Surge focuses on targeting particular body parts on your enemies. If you're able to slice them off, you can equip them and become stronger.
When The Surge launched in May 2017, it garnered a surprising amount of praise from reviewers. Since then, the developers have been hard at work at expanding the game and today they launched its first expansion. A Walk in the Park is now available on Xbox One, Windows PC and PlayStation 4. As the name suggests, it takes place in an amusement park. It's definitely more colorful than the bleak corridors of the first game but it's also deadlier. The entire park is a trap where rescue teams have lost their minds and murderous robotic mascots patrol freely. In order to give you a taste of the action, the developer released a new launch trailer.
The Surge is known for its weapons and armor and A Walk in the Park further expands upon that. Throughout the campaign, you can cut and equip sixteen all-new weapons, armor sets, and implants to customize the way you play.
