The Surge's new Wild West-themed expansion has robots in cowboy hats

The Surge

Welcome to CREO, the megacorporation saving the world! A catastrophic event has knocked you out during the first day on the job… you wake up equipped with a heavy-grade exoskeleton, in a destroyed section of the complex.

The Surge's new expansion, The Good, the Bad, and the Augmented, will be released on October 2. Developer Deck13 is taking the sci-fi action-RPG to the old frontier where you'll have to survive the "deadly test chambers" of mad scientist Dr. Rischbieter.

These chambers are set up in an abandoned Quality Assurance lab that was once used to train the deadly technology of mega corporation CREO. The kooky doc must be a massive John Wayne fan as since he's move into the labs he's installed experiments based on "a twisted Wild West TV show."

The expansion's teaser trailer shows a desolate western town where you'll have a tense standoff with what looks like a robot prospector - it's wearing a cowboy hat. As the enemies you'll encounter in the doc's test chambers were once made to test the limits of CREO's technology there will be some fresh metal beasts for you to dodge and stab in the electric core. Better keep on your toes, cowboy. The expansion will also feature 30 new pieces of equipment for you to try out.
