All these factions make the whole quarantined city feel alive and quite believable. Additionally, Jericho City is built in a very interesting way, with a lot of different factions vying for supremacy and survival. Players can choose to completely ignore it if they so desire, but they would be missing quite a bit, as the tale features a good level of mystery that leaves players wanting for more.

The Surge 2 story is told through audio logs, just like in the original game, and by talking with NPCs found all over Jericho City. The protagonist also has visions of Athena, and he sets out in the now destroyed city to find out why he is having these visions and how the girl is the key to save the city and himself. The rocket carrying the dangerous substance still launches after Warren manages to defeat the Rogue Process, and debris hits a plane inside which the new protagonist is traveling, alongside Athena Guttenberg, a young girl who is also the granddaughter of the creator of the nanites, Jonah Guttenberg.įollowing the plane crash, the main character awakens in Jericho City, a city that has been quarantined due to the spreading of the Defrag disease, which is caused by the nanites that were supposed to save the world. At the end of The Surge, Warren failed to completely halt the Utopia Project, which aimed to stop global warming by using nanite. The story picks up pretty much where the original game ended. The sequel is considerably better than the first game thanks to a lot of tweaks to the mechanics, quality of life improvements and a better-designed world. A few years after the release of The Surge, Deck13 is back with The Surge 2.
