Mortal Shell 2 is the sequel to Cold Symmetry's soulslike action RPG, arriving August 20, 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC at $49.99. The original launched in 2020 across multiple platforms and built a following for its dark fantasy take on the genre. Preorders are now live, with early access available for those who commit ahead of the official release date.
The sequel is generating renewed interest as its launch window finally solidifies. Coverage reflects appreciation for Cold Symmetry's approach to soulslike design, with the game positioning itself strategically in August to sidestep the crowded late-year release schedule. A free open beta has already given players a chance to sample the upcoming release, and the reception suggests the studio has maintained what worked in the original while iterating on the formula.
