The hospital curtains were finally drawn back on Surgeon Simulator 2 this week, when the game was fully unveiled to the world in the form of a Gameplay Reveal Trailer at the PC Gaming Show.  

The original bonafide operation sim, Surgeon Simulator, was released in 2013, and quickly gained notoriety for its chaotic gameplay and the rib-tickling moments that ensued as a result. Surgeon Simulator 2, its gut-busting sequel, promises to double-down on this sense of physics-based pandemonium, and if the new trailer is anything to go by, Bob’s chest cavity isn’t the only thing to have opened up…

Surgery, of course, remains at the heart of the experience, though new to the series is four-way multiplayer. Yes, we’re talking true co-operation! Additionally, whilst only hinted at in the Reveal Trailer, Surgeon Simulator 2 also will arrive with the Bossa Labs Creation Mode, which houses the very same tool used by the development team to create Surgeon Simulator 2! In this mode, players can create their own levels and experiences with up to three friends in a live, online environment and can then share their creations online for other players to experience. 

As for when Surgeon Simulator 2 will be released, August 2020 is the current word on the ward, but fans can now pre-order the game from the Epic Games Store. By doing so, players will not only unlock Closed Beta access later this year, but will receive time-exclusive cosmetics with both the Standard and Deluxe Editions. 

Standard Edition

Standard in name only, the default Surgeon Simulator 2 package not only grants users an early hands-on of the game later this year by way of an exclusive Closed Beta, but also includes the Mad Scientist cosmetics set. A timed-exclusive, available only by pre-ordering, the set includes four cosmetic items, wearable by all characters… and brings an entirely new meaning to the term, smoking jacket. 

Deluxe Edition

Scrub up with the Surgeon Simulator 2 Deluxe Edition and really get your heartbeat racing! As with the Standard Edition, it arrives with both Closed Beta access and the truly-smoking Mad Scientist cosmetics set. In addition you’ll also receive the time-exclusive SuperHero cosmetics set which includes four cosmetic items wearable by any character, the original Surgeon Simulator Wristwatch cosmetic, the official Surgeon Simulator and Surgeon Simulator 2 soundtracks and, last but no means least, Season Pass Access (this includes 3 Expansion Packs, each comprising of a Mini-Campaign,  a new character, and new cosmetic Items to unlock in the Campaign).

So what’re you waiting for? Pre-order Surgeon Simulator 2 now from the Epic Games Store. Doctor’s orders!
