On top of the Surgical Showdowns release today, which brings six shiny and new levels to Surgeon Simulator 2, the team have been hard at work addressing the most reported bugs and nuances in the game.
At 4 PM UTC on the 22nd October, we’re going to be releasing build 1.0.2.3110. This build has a whole host of improvements so, strap in! Here’s what the new build entails:
