What is the release date for Surgeon Simulator 2?

Surgeon Simulator 2 is the unsurprisingly named follow up to Surgeon Simulator, the game about desperately trying to not cut any more body parts off your patients. It is due to release on Aug. 27, and will also have a closed beta weekend that runs from Aug. 7 to Aug. 9. To access the closed beta, you need to preorder the game on the Epic Games Store.

Developers Bossa Studios have also announced that the game will ship with a Creation Mode. This is a set of easy to use tools that will give players the ability to create their own levels that they can share with the rest of community.

The Creation Mode is a step above a simple level editor, allowing players to design level logic and gameplay rules, and it will even support simultaneous building from four people at the same time, turning the very act of level creation into a cooperative game. You can also build pretty much anything you want in Creation Mode, it doesn’t need to be related to Surgeon Simulator 2 at all.

Maybe you want to make a fun prop hunt game, or a murder mystery, you can pretty much do anything you want.

You will be able to buy Surgeon Simulator from the Epic Games Store on Aug. 27, for $24.99 for the regular edition, and $39.99 for the deluxe edition. If you wish to preorder the game, it is available for preorder right now.
