About

The Surge has already dragged players deep into the high-tech CREO industrial complex, overrun by deadly machines, rogue AI, and deranged exoskeleton workers. Its first major expansion A Walk in the Park takes players to an environment that's more open and colorful, but no less deadly. CREO World is an amusement park built by CREO for its employees and their families. Forget your cravings for cotton candy though - CREO World was not spared from the disaster. The entire park is a deadly trap where roaming rescue teams have gone insane and robotic mascots patrol freely, patiently waiting for new visitors to welcome.
