The setting is a distant image of modern day London - welcome to the 2020s. The Surge reveals a dark future for human kind, where Artificial Intelligence has evolved immensely, and the human race is falling behind. They have been forced to live in overpopulated cities and are threatened by environmental diseases.
To survive, the younger generation has to search for work in the suburbs, and the only way to be able to compete with the machines is with the help of an exoskeleton.
First artwork revealed at Gamescom, but no trailer
Instead of some gameplay or a trailer, the game is being revealed through a first piece of artwork, which shows dark, dilapidated times for humans. The characters seem small next to the machines we will have created…
The Surge is set to be released in 2017 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
