Surgeon Simulator 2 slices things four ways with co-op next year

Surgeon Simulator 2 will hit in 2020.

A sequel to the darkly funny Surgeon Simulator is currently in the works, with plans to launch sometime next year, developer Bossa Studios has announced.

And from the look of it, Surgeon Simulator 2 will include up to four-player co-op if hints throughout its announcement trailer are anything to go by. While we don't get any in-game footage, we do get a peak at four surgeons working together to stitch up a patient in their massive laboratory of mayhem.

"Arriving in 2020, the electrifying sequel that is Surgeon Simulator 2 promises to inject a delirious dose of adrenaline straight into the heart of the original, cranking everything up to a whole new level," said Bossa in a press release. "Not to mention, throws in a handful (or four?) of surprises along the way!"

"Surgery will, of course, remain at the heart of the experience, but as the trailer suggests, Surgeon Simulator 2 will be a vastly expanded offering promising true co-operation, at the very least."

So far no platforms have been announced for its release - although the original 2013 title launched on PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch and mobile. Check out the announcement trailer for Surgeon Simulator 2 below:
