The end is near, according to a pretty slick launch video with a fair share of death involved, Mortal Shell 2 is due to take life on August 20, 2026.
Mortal Shell 2 will, ironically, only have a physical release on PlayStation 5, where the “Revered Edition” is available for pre-order.
For everyone else, Pre-orders for Mortal Shell 2 are now live across all digital platforms (Steam, Xbox, PS5).
You can start taking over Shells early by purchasing the “Devout Edition” — a digital deluxe version that includes eight Obsidian Shell skins and lets you play Mortal Shell 2 up to 72 hours before the general release via the Advanced Access program.
Mortal Shell II is a standalone sequel soulslike action-RPG where you possess warrior Shells and dethrone false gods… or die trying to.
We loved the first game and praised it for its world-building and challenging gameplay loop. However, we wished it had more of the modern comforts that the genre has begrudgingly adopted.
Mortal Shell 2 promises this with additions such as a no-stamina bar and frequent save points.
