In addition, a physical PlayStation 5 Revered Edition is available to pre-order from selected retailers that includes an art book, a SteelBox case, a set of art prints, and digital bonuses.

Mortal Shell II takes place in a ravaged fantasy world and puts players in the role of the Harbinger, a being “prophesied to reclaim the blessed Undermether’s stolen Ova from the daunting creatures that ruthlessly guard her unborn”. The game features an open world with various landmarks and regions as well as over sixty dungeons to explore. Like its predecessor, players possess the bodies of fallen warriors, using their shells as they navigate and battle across a desolate world. Each shell has its own combat style, with new talents and upgrades becoming available as players’ connections with them grow.
