Geoff Keighley opened Summer Game Fest 2025 by revealing Mortal Shell 2.
Cold Symmetry's Soulslike title is scheduled for a 2026 release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. This standalone sequel is an action-RPG boasting intense, high-stakes combat.
Here is the official description:
Mortal Shell II is a standalone sequel that greatly expands upon the original, featuring unrestricted, adrenaline-fueled combat, deeper weapon design with extensive upgrade paths, and a strong emphasis on free exploration.
This action-RPG provides an immersive, interconnected open world—expansive yet deliberately compact, designed to reveal its twisted landscapes and hidden structures while valuing the player's time.
The dormant forms of forgotten warriors are scattered throughout Mortal Shell II's fractured world. Once discovered, each Shell can be awakened and possessed, unlocking their inherent strengths and unique abilities.
Develop your personal combat style by utilizing the diverse, unique abilities of each Shell, and uncover their secrets by recovering lost memories.
The compact open world of Mortal Shell II is connected by winding paths defended by the desperate and fanatical. Explorers are rewarded with new story elements, Shells, powerful and unusual weapons, upgrades, curiosities, and more.
Journey through derelict temples of ancient gods, traverse forbidden forests and frozen graves, and enter 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 destined to reclaim the stolen Ova of the blessed Undermether from the formidable creatures that fiercely guard her unborn.
Mortal Shell II's combat system is agile yet grounded. Unrestricted by stamina, players employ various tactics to break enemy posture and deliver critical strikes.
