Many players originally had a wait-and-see attitude towards “Mortal Shell 2”. After all, although the previous game had accumulated a group of die-hard fans, the overall evaluation was never phenomenal. However, with the exposure of the latest trailers and trial content, the trend seems to be turning. Even the editor of GamesRadar admitted that this work has become one of his most anticipated Soulslikes this year, and the official version will be released next month!
The battle has been fully upgraded, this time it’s not just about rolling!
Development team Cold Symmetry has announced that “Mortal Shell 2” will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC on August 20. This game still retains the series’ signature “Shell” possession system, but the combat rhythm is smoother than the previous game. In addition to melee combat, firearm attacks are also added to make the combat method more flexible. At the same time, officials also promised that the game will bring a larger world than the previous game and more than 60 dungeons for players to explore.
The demo has successfully attracted fans, and we are waiting for the official version to be accepted.
GamesRadar editor said that the biggest feeling after trying the demo is that “I still want to continue playing”, especially the combat feel has been significantly improved, making people look forward to the official version. Many players on Reddit also believe that this game is more like a “soft reboot”, and even if you have not played the previous game, you can jump directly into the new game. Of course, whether it can really become this year’s Soulslike dark horse still has to wait for the official version to prove. After all, every boss in the trailer is disgusting enough, but whether the game content can hold up all the way is what players care about most.
It is worth mentioning that “Mortal Shell 2” is priced at US$50 (approximately NT$1,460, HK$392, RM212). Compared with many AAA masterpieces in recent years priced at US$70 to US$80, the threshold is indeed much more affordable.
