Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition has now been officially confirmed for PlayStation 5 by publisher PlayStack after the Trophy list leaked its existence last week. It isn't too far away either, with a release date of 4th March 2021 revealed in the announcement trailer above. If you already own the game on PlayStation 4, you'll be eligible for a free upgrade to the PS5 version and all the upgrades it brings.
The current-gen edition will run at a 4K resolution at 60 frames-per-second along with "ultra high-quality textures". There will also be some sort of support for the PS5 DualSense controller. In our original PS4 review of Mortal Shell, we were full of praise for its combat, environments, and atmosphere. "It might be a little too similar to Dark Souls in terms of overall tone and style, but it brings enough new ideas functionally to make it stand out from the crowd. Ultimately, this is a great entry into a demanding sub-genre that fans won't want to miss." We never really had any technical issues so it sounds like this PS5 version will only make a great experience even better.

Cama cama cama cama Camealon... It looks the same it looks the same yeahheah.
Bought it in a sale end of last year, and had decided to hold off playing it as I thought it might well get an upgrade.
Looking forward to adding this to psplus collection for March
I had a couple hours on the game and my save file deleted. Doubt they fixed that.
Yay!! I have it on PC but I want the PS5 version. I just prefer the couch setup versus the at my desk playing this kind of game. Day one buy for me.
Still have the PS4 version in my backlog. Love the look of it and will probably love 'it' it... as I have said probably too many times around here by now but 'I'm yet to play a souls-like I didn't like'.
This lines up with a PS Plus March giveaway for PS5!
@ILikeStake Hopefully so! I've been dying to give the game a shot.
I bought this game for how good it looks on PS4...ended up playing 1 hour only lol The game is good, I just don't have much patience for games with no map or that you need to die over and over. Maybe I'll try it on PS5
niiiiceeeeeee... 60fps and 4K and FREE... well done developers!
I love the hardening mechanic, really added a unique dimension to combat. I’m looking forward to a sequel that adds more in-depth RPG mechanics and loot (please)
@playstation1995 quite like this game but it has an annoying bug where upon death it gets stuck in a loading loop and then you have to shut the game down and reload...only to find your save has been corrupted and you have to start from scratch...annoying..
@Northern_munkey. Thats weird i play the whole game and up to the last boss and i never had a bug.nothing.this game plays flawless on my ps4 pro.word up son
Its a common issue after looking around on the old interweb..lets hope the ps5 upgrade fixes this otherwise its the first game i have purchased from the psn store that is next to useless..shame as its really good when it works..
I never got this game, but happy they're giving away free upgrades.
Definitely will pick this up in the future during a bargain bin sale, assuming it's not on Plus by then.
@playstation1995 it would appear that the save corrupting bug only happens if you are playing the ps4 version via backwards compatability on the ps5..i have been emailed to say that the ps5 upgrade will not have that issue..
