Mortal Shell's new DLC, The Virtuous Cycle, was announced a few weeks ago, and it looks like a meaty update to the solid Souls-like RPG. The expansion releases today for the PlayStation 5 and PS4 versions of the game. Normally it would cost £6.99/$7.99, but a special launch deal means those who already own the game can get the DLC for free.
Between now and 23rd August, Mortal Shell players can claim The Virtuous Cycle free of charge. You have a five-day window in which to nab the DLC and save yourself some pennies. It's a nice bonus for fans interested in what it brings to the main game.

Most notably, the expansion adds a rogue-like mode to the game, great for adding some randomness and extra challenge to the action RPG. As well as a new way to play, you're also getting a new shell, transforming weapon, and over 125 new abilities to let you really customise your build. That's quite a lot of new stuff, and it's free for a limited time.
After 23rd August, the DLC will return to those aforementioned prices, so grab it now if you're interested. Will you be playing Mortal Shell: The Virtuous Cycle? Come out of your shell in the comments section below.

Everyone's dream, combining the two crappiest genres in gaming! Souls and rogue. 🙄
Thankfully, not everyone shares that view.
It’s no way near as difficult as the souls games with shell that gives you ridiculous health. Much harder and more souls like in terms of difficulty with rouge character though.
Amazing! Fair play to the team for releasing it for free for a while. Very rare to see developers do that these days!
Is it part of the Enhanced Edition? I think I already have it by owning the Enhanced Edition, unless I have to claim it seperately.
@JAMes-BroWWWn It looks to me like it's a separate thing, but I guess you get it for free either way
Really nice of the developers to offer such a deal! Mortal shell is a great game, not as long or difficult as a soul game but with some nice mechanics!
Downloading the Dlc right now!
@NightMiroir
Where are you? i cant seem to find it on the UK store.
I just can see the soundtrack.DLC when I search
I think it goes live at 2pm.
I had an update the other day and the Switcher icon is the DLC image but so far it’s not available in game,
@Dreman99 eh? In your opinion yes...
@Burntbreadman My bad! I just have to learn to read haha, I just downloaded the soundtrack thinking it was the Dlc!
Does anyone know concretely when the content actually goes live. It lets you add it to library from the game hub but nothing downloaded, and on the game main screen the content is greyed out. It's also not searchable on the PSN store.
The publisher and developer sites say nothing about a specific release time.
@KundaliniRising333 nevermind, figured it

What Dreman99 really meant is the two genres he is clearly crap at!
Hi there fellow gamers.
A meaty update you say?
And it´s free you say?
Well then....... And I got it.
Thanks for the tip @Quintumply
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all
I would grab the DLC while it's free, but still don't own the game yet! Waiting for the PS5 version to drop down to $20 New.
