Things Have Got Seriously… Out of Hand!

No… you don’t need an eye transplant. Surgeon Simulator is back!

Surgeon Simulator was originally released in 2013 and saw players step into the shoes of Nigel Burke - a would-be surgeon with a less-than-conventional toolkit - as he performed terrifying transplants in theatre, high-pressure procedures in an ambulance, and anti-gravitational operations in space!

Surgery remains at the heart of the Surgeon Simulator 2 experience, but believe-you-us, the sequel will be a vastly expanded offering… promising true co-operation, at the very least.

The release of Surgeon Simulator 2 is a landmark for medical simulations in that it allows four trainees to (mal)practice together; whether that’s making sure all incisions are executed with the utmost precision, delivering the necessary injections in a timely manner, or disposing of diseased tissue in accordance to the prevailing safety standards. Every role is open to all trainees, who have the option of teaming up with like-minded professionals, or going it alone for the ultimate challenge of unassisted operation.

Users will be fully immersed in the challenging realities of surgery thanks to a compelling story created by Rhianna Pratchett (Tomb Raider, Mirror’s Edge), that ensures everything from hospital orientation and patient safety through to complex operations and moral problems, are delivered to users in realistic scenarios based on the experiences of doctors. Common trainee questions such as, "How did I get here?" and "Why are you making me perform surgery?" will be addressed in the safe and nurturing environment that only the highest quality simulation product can offer.

Last month, Bossa Studios invited the world to an exclusive consultation with Surgeon Simulator 2’s powerful Creation Mode. This easy-to-use toolkit allows players to create their own levels and experiences to share with the game’s community, and is available alongside the title’s core story mode.

The Creation Mode is the very same set of tools that Bossa Studios used to create the story content for Surgeon Simulator 2. Designed with players in mind, Creation Mode is intuitive, easy to navigate, and incredibly versatile. It is easily accessed from within the game, and can be used solo or in online multiplayer with up to three other players. 

Players can design and decorate levels in any way they want using the Creation Mode Catalogue, which boasts a heart-racing array of surface textures, furnishings and decorations. It not only allows players to build the medical facility of their dreams (or nightmares!), but pretty much anything their imaginations can think of, including futuristic space stations, horror-themed hedge mazes, or even a fully functioning dance machine (just some of the things already created by the community during Closed Alpha). This is made possible thanks to the tool’s Circuit Mode, which allows players to bring levels to life by wiring up complex systems, whether that’s pressure plate actioning doors or  full-blown escape rooms. Gameplay rules and level logic are also customizable, meaning solo adventures, team challenges or intense free-for-alls are all possible.

All levels built in Creation Mode can be seamlessly shared with the Surgeon Simulator 2 community for everyone to play. Bossa Studios will handpick 5 levels every month for their prestigious Community $potlight. Each level that wins a Community $potlight award not only gets pride of place within the in-game terminal but a cash prize of $1,000 (USD) paid directly to the creator(s).

Surgeon Simulator 2 launches 27th August 2020 and is available for pre-ordered on the Epic Games Store. By doing so, players gain instant entry to our Pre-Access period where they can experience a selection of story mode content and create their own levels to their heart's content with the full power of Creation Mode unlocked.
