Return to a brutal dark-fantasy world with Mortal Shell II for PlayStation 5, a standalone sequel that significantly expands upon the original Mortal Shell with faster, unforgiving combat, deeper weapon customization, and an interconnected open world built around exploration. The game officially releases on August 20, 2026.

Take control of the Harbinger, a mysterious being capable of possessing the corpses of exceptional fallen warriors known as Shells. Each warrior offers unique strengths, abilities, and combat possibilities, allowing you to develop different playstyles while uncovering their lost memories.

Explore a compact yet interconnected open world filled with abandoned temples, forbidden forests, frozen graves, and citadels carved from bone. More than 60 dungeons are scattered throughout the world, rewarding exploration with new warriors, powerful weapons, upgrades, story discoveries, and other secrets.
