Geoff Keighley launched Summer Game Fest 2025 by revealing Mortal Shell 2. Cold Symmetry's Soulslike sequel is slated for a 2026 release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. This standalone action-RPG sequel promises "heart-pounding, high-risk combat."
Here's the official description:
Mortal Shell II builds upon its predecessor with unbound, fast-paced combat, refined weapon progression featuring extensive customization, and a focus on free-form exploration. This action-RPG presents a dense, interconnected open world—vast yet meticulously crafted to reveal its grim landscapes and concealed ruins while valuing the player's time. Forgotten warriors' dormant forms lie scattered across Mortal Shell II's fractured realm. These Shells can be awakened and inhabited, each offering distinct strengths and skills. Forge your combat approach by mastering each Shell's abilities, uncovering their mysteries through recovered memories. The compact open world connects through treacherous paths patrolled by zealots. Explorers will discover narrative threads, new Shells, exotic armaments, upgrades, and hidden wonders. Journey through crumbling god-temples, forbidden woodlands, frozen burial grounds, and fortresses sculpted from bone. Between these forgotten sites lurk over 60 challenge dungeons, each testing the skills and gear you've acquired. As the Harbinger, you're destined to reclaim the sacred Undermether's stolen Ova from the vicious creatures protecting her unborn. The combat system blends fluidity with weight. Stamina-free gameplay enables diverse tactics to break enemy defenses and deliver fatal strikes.
