Playstack has announced a standalone sequel to Mortal Shell, promising a “significant expansion” on the original game, with “unrestricted, adrenaline-charged combat, deeper weapon design with extensive upgrade options, and an emphasis on free exploration”.
The press release reveals: “Mortal Shell 2‘s compact open-world connects over winding footpaths guarded by the desperate and fanatical. Those who wander are rewarded with new story elements, Shells, powerful and strange weaponry, upgrades, curiosities and more.

“Step through derelict temples of ancient deities, across forbidden forests and icy graves, into citadels carved from bone.
“Scattered between these lost landmarks are more than 60 dungeons, each providing a formidable challenge to the talents and weaponry you have accrued on your way.”
It looks crunchy in all the right ways, but we can’t help but feel a little fatigued of all these dark fantasy games. The game is due out in 2026.

Mortal Shell was fantastic! Loved the ‘hardening’ mechanic, collecting and switching shells, and getting knocked out of your shell as a final hail mary; game felt super inventive and was a lot of fun to play. World was weird as well, with great art direction. This is an awesome surprise! Really good trailer too!
This was my favorite reveal during the whole show. It looks fantastic 🔥
Cannot wait for this one! Looks like they really stepped up the designs.
I didn’t like the first, but it seems I’m in the minority. Glad y’all got something exciting!
Damn using behemoth for a trailer was perfect. Gets me amped everytime when I listen to them. This looks awesome.
Looks like they improved the combat. And wow, 60 dungeons! I hope it's a 40+ hour campaign.
