Developer Deck 13 has unveiled a new Wild-West-themed expansion for its sci-fi Souls-like The Surge, coming to Xbox One, PS4, and PC on October 2nd.
As was the case with last year's amusement-park-inspired A Walk in the Park expansion, The Good, the Bad, and the Augmented (as The Surge's new DLC is known) marks another concerted effort to move away from the core game's monotonous industrial-sci-fi corridors and rather drab world design, this time shaking things up with a gun-slinging Wild West twist. October's clearly the month for it.
Alongside the above teaser trailer, Deck 13 has revealed that The Good, the Bad, and the Augmented unfolds in the bowels of the CREO facility - in an old, abandoned Quality Assurance lab "created to push CREO's tech to the limit". Here, protagonist Warren must battle through unhinged scientist Dr. Rischboter's deadly test chambers that "for some reason," says Deck 13, "feel like torn straight out of a twisted Wild West TV show!"
