Surge 2 Release Date Leaks Prior To E3 2019; Coming This September
<p>It's been almost a year since we saw <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/the-surge-2/">The Surge 2</a>'s reveal trailer at Gamescom in August 2018. The 50-second gameplay trailer, above, shows more slashy, Souls-like action in a lush forest but little in the way of a release window. However, a new leak suggests The Surge 2 could arrive in a few months.</p><p>The Surge 2's release date was uncovered via <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/the-surge-2-preorder/c21g1nlf73nx?ocid=AID681541_aff_7593_1243925&irgwc=1&OCID=AID681541_aff_7794_1246483&tduid=(ir__thvlrqmmnokfrket0cigmvmrvu2xma3vydwow63h00)(7794)(1246483)((6de1210da601b5fd9fac2209a86cb667)(266696)(2049289)(pcg-1045404253713426297)())(6de1210da601b5fd9fac2209a86cb667)&irclickid=_thvlrqmmnokfrket0cigmvmrvu2xma3vydwow63h00&activetab=pivot:overviewtab">an Australian Microsoft Store listing</a>. The listing states that The Surge 2 will launch on September 24, 2019. It is, of course, possible this date will prove to be inaccurate; Nintendo's website recently led us to believe Cadence of Hyrule would be out at the end of May, but it now looks as if it's instead launching this month.
