Cold Symmetry has set a definitive launch date for its next major soulslike, Mortal Shell 2, targeting August 20 2026 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam.
Pre‑order options
The publisher is offering two instant editions at launch. The Standard Edition sells for $49.99, while the higher‑priced Devout Edition costs $59.99 and includes a 72‑hour exclusive early‑access window.
PlayStation 5 owners also encounter a unique Revered Edition, presented in a steel‑book case and bundled with an artbook and a collection of fine‑art prints, but exclusive to the PS5 platform.
Release platforms and early access
Players will acquire the game digitally on Xbox Series X/S, on Steam for PC, and on the PlayStation Network. The Devout Edition’s early‑access clause lets purchasers experience the title a full three days before the global launch.
Game features and context
Mortal Shell 2 is a standalone sequel, so newcomers need not have played the original. The title will present a compact open world peppered with challenging dungeons, a roster of new character classes, and a range of unique Shells for combat.
By scheduling the release for August, developers aim to sidestep September’s crowded title slate, ensuring that fans of the genre can focus entirely on this new entry in the Mortality after series.
