Focus Home Interactive og den tyske utvikleren Deck13 har nå annonsert sitt neste spill, The Surge. Sammen med den første informasjonen har vi også mottatt noen konseptbilder som skal gi et inntrykk av hva vi kan vente oss.
The Surge er et actionrollespill med science fiction-tema som ifølge utvikleren skal ha "innovative combat" og "an original character progression system based on modular upgrades". Her er studioets egne ord om prosjektet, klippet rett fra pressemeldingen:
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.
