Things aren’t going well in The Surge 2‘s dystopian landscape. Jericho City is a far cry from the dimly-lit industrial buildings that dominated so much of The Surge‘s runtime, but it’s hardly a happy place. A mysterious storm lingers overhead. Its surreal presence is ominous, made all the more menacing by the massive walls that supposedly keep Jericho City safe. No one can enter, and no one can leave. Something’s amiss.
Although it’s impossible to know what’s happening in Jericho City — The Surge 2 isn’t out until 2019, after all — it’s certainly an evocative setting. During a hands-off demo with developer Deck 13, one of the walled city’s different locations, a synthetic park, was featured prominently. The human-made slice of nature was inviting, despite its dangerous inhabitants. And in many ways, the same can be said for all of The Surge 2.
