In 2020 we published Cold Symmetry’s dark action-RPG, Mortal Shell. On Friday at the Summer Games Fest, we announced the standalone sequel Mortal Shell II. We’re incredibly proud to continue our support for the developers. We have complete confidence that they will deliver another truly exceptional experience.
Built upon its Game Awards-nominated predecessor, which has sold two million copies, this standalone title marks a significant advancement, with a larger scale, more intricate combat, and a richer narrative. Developed by an expanded 30-person independent team, Mortal Shell II offers players unrestricted, adrenaline-fueled combat, deeper weapon customisation with numerous upgrade choices, and the freedom to explore a densely packed, immersive open world.
Below is a statement from our VP of publishing, Rob Crossley.
Mortal Shell II represents Playstack’s biggest ever game investment by an order of magnitude, the first Mortal Shell marked a turning point for Playstack. Our triumphs in the premium indie space with the likes of Balatro, Abiotic Factor and The Case of the Golden Idol were built on the success we achieved with Mortal Shell. I’m delighted we’re going full circle, channelling our resources back to Cold Symmetry with their biggest project yet in Mortal Shell II. Their vision for the game has been a consistent source of confidence and inspiration.
