Playstack and developer Cold Symmetry have announced action RPG Mortal Shell will be getting a physical release in North America and Europe.
As previously reported, Mortal Shell is a third-person action-RPG set in a grim fantasy world. The game focuses on skill-driven tactical combat, and players can possess the remains of fallen heroes to gain access to new fighting styles and techniques.
As detailed on the game’s official website, the physical edition ($29.99 USD/€34.99 / £29.99) will come with a fold-out poster, softback artbook with concept images and character art. However, the Windows PC “physical” version “does not carry a disc – enclosed instead is a key that can be redeemed on the epic games store.”
You can find a rundown of the game (via Steam) below:
Mortal Shell is a deep action-RPG that tests your sanity and resilience in a shattered world. As the remains of humanity wither and rot, zealous foes fester in the ruins. They spare no mercy, with survival demanding superior awareness, precision and instincts. Track down hidden sanctums of devout followers and discover your true purpose.
Posses Lost Warriors
The dead litter this tattered landscape, but not all are without hope. The lost remains of defeated warriors are yours to discover. Awaken these Mortal Shells, occupy their bodies and significantly open your understanding to diverse masteries of combat.
Face Haunting Foes
Your path is guarded by desperate adversaries, devoted to inscrutable gods. Behold creatures both pitiable and grotesque, but do not let fear halt your journey. Muster your courage and face them down.
Iron Sharpens Iron
Combat is strategic and deliberate. You must commit your sword only when an opportunity opens. Calculate your parries to unleash devastating counterblows. Temporarily entomb your Mortal Shell in stone to block attacks, or play aggressive and use your stone-form to add brutal weight to your own sword swings.
Mortal Shell launches digitally on August 18th, and physically (in North America and Europe) on October 2nd on Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store, and Steam in 2021), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
