Cold Symmetry released Mortal Shell 2 update 1.000.013 on October 17, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This stability-focused patch addresses performance hitches during gameplay and a softlock that prevented progress when interacting with the Collector.
Performance and Stability Improvements
The primary fix in this version targets gameplay stuttering that occurred during specific triggers. Players previously experienced frame drops or momentary freezes upon character deaths or when picking up items in the world. Update 1.000.013 eliminates these hitches, ensuring smoother transitions during combat and exploration.
Additionally, the patch resolves a critical softlock associated with the Collector. Before this update, players could become stuck during interactions with this NPC, requiring a game restart. This fix is particularly important for players pursuing late-game content or specific merchant paths.
NG+ Achievement Issues
While the update addresses technical stability, Cold Symmetry has officially acknowledged a persistent issue regarding the ‘Bring My Ova Back to Me’ achievement in New Game+. This bug prevents completion of the achievement and appears to be connected to New Game+ cycles.
According to reported details, a dedicated fix for this achievement is currently scheduled for release next week. Players who have already encountered the discrepancy may need to wait for that subsequent patch to finalize their completionist runs. You can view the developer acknowledgement on YouTube.
