A quick update on Mortal Shell, the supposedly super tough action RPG from developer Cold Symmetry: it's still due to release in 2020 on PlayStation 4. The game reappeared as part of IGN's Summer of Gaming livestream, and got a decent chunk of new gameplay footage thanks to the 16-minute developer interview that we've embedded above.
The title continues to look pretty interesting, as you're able to possess the bodies of powerful warriors in order to overcome your enemies. Hopefully we get a release date in the near future.
What do you make of Mortal Shell? Put your back out lifting a huge sword in the comments section below.

Reminds me a lot of Lords of the Fallen.
And that's a big red flag for me.
Looks so very original...they deserve to be commended for their originality. Those environments are so fresh too. I love the colors. Combat looks like nothing Ive seen before. Wow. So fresh.
I dunno, there’s ‘being influenced’ by a game and then there’s ‘shamelessly ripping off’. Souls-like games haven’t quite become a full genre like Metroidvanias so they really have to stand out in terms of presentation and themes, which this does not.
I’m intrigued, but skeptical. Don’t see anything here that stands out. The ‘shells’ idea sounds interesting, but Code Vein kinda-sorta did that already with the blood codes, and there were like 20, not 4... Combat looks real basic in that video... I dunno...
Looks a lot like Lords of the Fallen, a little Dark Souls 3. It’s interesting, but until I see what the rpg aspect is, gonna stay neutral.
Definitely getting that game.looks cool.word up son
I hope its cheap because its Dark Souls with another skin.
FYI video has now become private, so cannot view.
Yep it's 🔏. Privat!
I like the art style, but wow that combat has no weight to it. The sword just clips through the enemies
Hi there good folks. The combat mechanics and the art style do look interesting and cool, but it clearly needs more work. Being a fan of souls-like games I´m going to keep an eye on it and hope to be able to play the beta on PC on July 3rd. Then I´ll get a better sense and feel of the game. Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all.

Seems like it'll be a digital exclusive, no plans for retail release.
