Mortal Shell 2 - 10 things you need to know before it launches August 20, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The biggest one: stamina is completely gone — and the community is genuinely split on it. Add an open world with 60+ dungeons, eight playable Shells, guns in a soulslike, and a free Steam beta you can play right now, and Mortal Shell 2 might be the most fascinating sequel of the year.
This is Cold Symmetry's massive swing: the original Mortal Shell was built by a core team of around 15 people and still sold over a million copies — now that same small team has spent 3+ years building a full open-world soulslike. In this video: the no-stamina combat debate (both sides), Marrow Keep and the Beacon fast-travel system, returning Shells like Tiel and Eredrim plus new ones like Proxima the Broodseeker, hardening and posture-break executions, crossbows and hand cannons, the Harbinger's story, the honest concerns from the beta (camera, NPCs, unverified console performance), and the full price and edition breakdown — $49.99 standard, the $59.99 Devout Edition with 72-hour early access, and the PS5-only physical collector's edition. No Game Pass or PS Plus deal has been announced.
Which of the ten has you most excited — and where do you land on the stamina debate? Let me hear it in the comments.
