Mortal Shell 2 Showcases Three Shells, Brutal Combat and Open World in New Gameplay Reveal

by

After a surprise reveal last summer, Cold Symmetry has released a new gameplay video for Mortal Shell 2. This action RPG, similar to the Souls series, is a direct sequel to the original Mortal Shell. It continues the core gameplay mechanic of possessing the bodies of fallen warriors – called Shells – to gain their unique abilities. The video highlights three of these Shells: Tiel the Acolyte, Eredrim the Venerable, and Proxima the Broodseeker.

Tiel is a nimble and evasive character, excelling at quick movements. Eredrim is a powerful, heavily-built fighter who uses massive weapons and a devastating shoulder bash to stun, damage, and break enemy defenses. Proxima is unique, using a hook to pull opponents or quickly reposition herself, then striking with lightning. Just like the previous game, taking too much damage will separate you from your protective Shell until it recharges.

As a fan, I’m really excited about how much you can do in this game! You can head to the Marrow Keep to swap out your gear, and then quickly travel anywhere in the huge world – they’re saying there are over 60 dungeons to explore! There are tons of characters to meet, but be careful, because not all of them are going to be friendly. Get ready for a lot of dodging, perfectly timed counters, and breaking enemy defenses! When you do, you can pull off some seriously cool finishing moves, and the weapons are awesome – I can’t wait to get my hands on a gatling gun!

Mortal Shell 2 is coming out this year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. A beta test for the PC version will start this summer, and you can register to participate on Steam.
