Last month, Cold Symmetry and Playstack announced upcoming soulslike, Mortal Shell and the reaction so far has been nothing short of astounding.
Racking up close to 2 million views on the riveting reveal trailer, and nearing 40,000 eager fans in the Discord, the THIRST for more info has been palpable. Luckily, you won’t have to wait much longer to feed your hunger for all things Mortal Shell! We’re on the cusp of the ‘2020 Summer of Digital Showcases’ and Mortal Shell‘s first appearance will be the world premiere of exclusive gameplay on June 5th’s IGN Summer of Gaming! We can’t say too much more, but you’ll be seeing even more exclusive sneak peeks in the days that follow.
Previously known as Dungeonhaven in its earliest days of development, Mortal Shell has been painstakingly designed by a prized coalition of veteran developers who are credited with working on some of the biggest AAA titles on the market. Produced by a core team of just 15 people, Mortal Shell was only made possible due to the team’s pedigree and burning desire to honor the painful majesty of the genre.
“For a small team like ours, developing this title in many ways felt like crossing an ocean on a paddle board,” the studio’s three co-founders — Andrew McLennan-Murray, Anton Gonzalez, and Vitaly Bulgarov — said in a joint statement. “To finally announce Mortal Shell is one of the most exciting and terrifying experiences we’ve had in our lifetimes. The last two years have been a time of non-stop growth, full of shocking revelations of sheer complexity that goes into creating a video game that you, yourself, would really enjoy playing.”
Mortal Shell is scheduled for a Q3 release on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, published by Playstack, the London-based games company for all people and platforms. Fans who want to experience the game early can sign up to a limited closed beta.
