Big news for action RPG fans: Mortal Shell 2 has officially been announced for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam. This exciting reveal dropped during the Summer Game Fest live kick-off show, and a flashy trailer is now available for eager players to check out.
According to the developers at Cold Symmetry, this sequel is not just a continuation but a complete standalone experience that takes everything players loved about the original and cranks it up a notch. Expect unrestricted, adrenaline-charged combat, deeper weapon customization with extensive upgrades, and an emphasis on free exploration.
The game promises an “immersive, interconnected open world†that’s expansive yet deliberately concise, allowing players to navigate its twisted landscapes and discover hidden structures all within a reasonable playtime. The original Mortal Shell, released in 2021, received solid reviews, with Metacritic scores of 76 on PC and PS4, 75 on Xbox One, and 74 on PS5.
Dive Deep into the Shattered World
Returning to their roots, Cold Symmetry is developing the sequel, published by Playstack, and set for a 2026 release. The game’s Steam listing reveals a fascinating aspect: the world is dotted with dormant forms of forgotten warriors. Players will embark on a quest to awaken these Shells, unlocking their unique strengths and abilities.
Players can evolve their combat style by tapping into the diverse abilities of each Shell while also unraveling their secrets through the discovery of lost memories. This adds a new layer of strategy and depth for those ready to jump back into this intricate, dark universe.
