The Surge 2’s PC System Requirements have been released alongside a new Story Trailer

Deck 13’s The Surge is due to release this month; and to help pave their way to launch day, the company has released a new Story Trailer for the game alongside the title’s PC system requirements. 

The Surge 2 will release on September 24th on PC (through Steam), Xbox One and PlayStation 4, bringing with it larger, more open levels and an enhanced combat system. This will allow The Surge 2 to be a bigger, and hopefully better, game than the original. 

On PC, The Surge 2 will be 20GB in size and require a powerful system to run well. AMD’s Radeon RX Vega 56 and Nvidia’s GTX 980 Ti graphics cards are recommended by Deck 13. Thankfully the game is designed to scale down to run on lower-end GPUs like the Radeon R0 280 and GTX 950.    

The bulk of The Surge 2 takes place in Jericho city, where players must fight through the city in the aftermath of the launch of the Utopia Rocket and the release of the deFrag nanovirus. Players must fight through the city to uncover the truth behind the virus and to uncover their lost memories. The latest Story Trailer for the game is available to watch below. 

 

    Nano-cultists run rampant through the streets, harvesting everything they can from the environment for their mysterious ends. The government forces of A.I.D attempt to maintain a stranglehold on the city with violent means. All the while, Athena, a girl with whom you have a special connection, leads you through the streets to a destination unknown.

Below are The Surge 2’s full PC system requirements. Strangely, the game Lists DirectX 11 as a requirement alongside Vulkan API compatibility.
