Deck 13's 'The Surge' set to release in May

Focus Home Interactive has announced that The Surge is set to release in May 2017. Developed by Deck 13, the team behind Lords of the Fallen, The Surge is an action RPG set in a futuristic world. A new CG trailer was also released, which you can check out below.

We got the chance to sit down with Deck 13 at E3 2016, and you can read our conversation here. The Surge will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Freshly recruited as an augmented worker at CREO, Warren’s first day coincides with a catastrophic event during the routine surgical operation meant to graft-through flesh and bone-employee exo-suits. This 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 who all want 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, and sturdier. During battle, target your enemies' limbs, slice them, and retrieve the 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.

Last month, Focus Home Interactive also released a gameplay trailer for The Surge, which we have here for you.
