Confirmed release date
Mortal Shell II released worldwide on August 20, 2026. Playstack lists Cold Symmetry as the developer and confirms Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox availability. Steam records the same date for the PC release.
Supported launch platforms
| Platform | Status | Notes |

The supplied official listings do not announce PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, macOS, or Linux versions for Mortal Shell II. Platform availability can change, so use the publisher page and storefront for the current answer.
Edition timing
The Standard Edition launched on August 20. The digital Devout Edition was advertised with up to 72 hours of advance access, which places its early-access window before the worldwide Standard release. That offer is a historical launch benefit, not an ongoing second release date.
Do you need to play the first Mortal Shell?
The publisher describes Mortal Shell II as a standalone sequel. Knowledge of the first game adds context, but the second game introduces its own Harbinger, world objective, Shell roster, and systems.
Version note
Older search results may still say “coming in 2026” or repeat Beta dates. Those pages predate release. For current planning, use August 20, 2026 as the full-game date and keep Open Beta dates separate.
