Mortal Shell 2 Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025

Geoff Keighley opened Summer Game Fest 2025 with the reveal of Mortal Shell 2.

Cold Symmetry's Soulslike action-RPG is scheduled for a 2026 release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. This standalone sequel promises intense, high-stakes combat.

Here is the official description:

Mortal Shell II is a standalone sequel that greatly expands upon the original. It features unrestricted, adrenaline-fueled combat, deeper weapon design with extensive upgrades, and a focus on free exploration.

This action-RPG presents an immersive, interconnected open world—expansive yet intentionally compact. Its twisted landscapes and hidden structures are designed to respect the player's time.

Forgotten warriors' dormant forms are scattered across the shattered world of Mortal Shell II. Discover and awaken each Shell to possess it, unlocking their inherent strengths and unique skills.

Develop your combat style by mastering the diverse abilities of each Shell. Unravel their secrets by recovering lost memories.

The compact open world connects via winding paths defended by desperate and fanatical foes. Exploration rewards you with new story threads, Shells, powerful and strange weapons, upgrades, curiosities, and more.

Journey through derelict temples of ancient gods, forbidden forests, icy graves, and citadels carved from bone.

Scattered among these lost landmarks are over 60 dungeons, each presenting a formidable challenge that tests the skills and arsenal you've acquired.

You are the Harbinger, a prophesied being tasked with reclaiming the stolen Ova of the blessed Undermether from the daunting creatures that fiercely guard her unborn.

The combat system in Mortal Shell II is agile yet grounded. Freed from stamina restrictions, players can employ multiple tactics to break enemy posture and deliver critical strikes.

For a full recap, explore everything announced at Summer Game Fest 2025.
