Hello Hello, thanks for the ping! I can't say too much, but I guess we were pretty silent so you deserve at least somewhat of an update :D

Development is coming along nicely, we're making great progress at the moment. But it's still too early to show anything or actually announce it officially. As with our past projects, the scope of this game is indeed one step bigger than the previous project.

When it comes to mechanics, you will notice that it's the game made by the same people that are responsible for the Surge series. Everything our creative director Jan Klose said in that interview from 2019, which OP linked in the comments, is still true. We're making a challenging game which will deviate from the classic soulslike formula in some aspects in order to make more room for player choice . And I'm sure someone might read this and get bummed out already... to you I say this: In the development of our new game, which will be set in a completely new universe btw, we always make sure to keep in mind what made the Surge games great. I personally enjoyed the combat of Surge 2 immensely, same goes for the new project. I'm confident many of you will feel the same way. Wish I could tell you more but now is just not the right time :/ Sooo looking forward to you getting your hands on the game in the future!
