'The Surge' (ALL) A Walk In The Park DLC Coming in December - Screens

by Rainier on Oct. 31, 2017 @ 8:29 a.m. PDT

The Surge is a visceral hardcore RPG with innovative new combat mechanics.

Set in a heavily dystopian future as Earth nears the end of its life, those who remain in the overpopulated cities must work to survive as social programs become saturated by an ageing population and increasing environmental diseases.

As the intelligence of technology incrementally increased over the years, many jobs for the human race had been made redundant, forcing Earth's citizens to head out into the suburbs seeking labor, aided by exoskeletons to improve their efficiency. The world of The Surge offers a very grim vision of the future, where the evolution of our technology, our society and our relation with the environment led to a decadent state of the Human civilization.

The Surge features innovative combat mechanics and an original character progression system based on modular upgrades gained through tight, visceral combat.


Deck 13 Interactive's sci-fi spin on the Dark Souls series is getting a hefty chunk of DLC this year.

The Surge has already dragged players deep into the high-tech CREO industrial complex, overrun by deadly machines, rogue AI and deranged exoskeleton workers. Now, its first major expansion A Walk in the Park gives players a breath of fresh air by taking them to an environment that’s more open and colorful, though no less deadly. CREO World is an amusement park built by CREO for its employees and their families. Forget your cravings for cotton candy though – CREO World was not spared from the disaster. The entire park is a deadly trap, where roaming rescue teams have gone insane and robotic mascots patrol freely, patiently waiting for new visitors to offer a deadly welcome.

CREO World presents a wealth of fresh challenges for players. Originally built to celebrate CREO and its mission, the park is a radically different setting from the rest of the complex, full of branching paths and secrets to discover. Survive the raging mascots and explore the park's attractions, before taking on a fearsome boss in the devastated park. Through technical and spectacular fights, you will face this new threat, cutting and equipping 16 all-new weapons, sets of armor, and implants to upgrade and further customize the way you want to play.

The A Walk in the Park expansion enriches and extends the experience of the original game, offering a challenge for even the most hardcore players in a striking environment.

The upcoming DLC will also launch alongside a free weapon pack that will add new attacking options to the game. Couple this with all the new armour, implants, and weapons you’ll literally be tearing from your enemies and there could be plenty of new potential builds for The Surge players to try out when A Walk in the Park releases later this year.

The Surge expansion, A Walk in the Park, is expected early December for PS4, Xbox One and PC

Deck 13 will also be releasing an Xbox One X update later this year.
