Beta is now open to everyone
SonicYouv Yesterday at 9:41 PM Hey everyone, we have some amazing news. The Mortal Shell PC Beta is now open to everyone! You can start playing it here: https://www.epicgames.com/store/product/mortal-shell/beta

We heard that a lot of you were feeling left out and frustrated with how we were handling key distribution. We have tried our best to keep up with requests, but we never expected this level of high demand. So we have decided to open the PC beta early, and it's available right now.

Please remember: It's beta, so we'll be listening to your reports in Discord and resolving crashes and bugs you may find. On that point, please submit your thoughts and bug reports in the #feedback and #bug-reports channels


FightinCowboy: Mortal Shell Beta Gameplay & Impressions
 
Are you going to try the beta?
Already playing. It is a really good start for a souls game. You can tell it is an actual beta and not "beta" to hype sales; that's to playtest towards improvement. I had one ctd so far while in combat but that was to be expected...

I haven't cleared the beta as I'm just fooling around with the game. Their approach to combat is obviously different, with the shells and their abilities like hardening being like a delayed block you activate during combat. The IP and dev team can surely go places and it has my support.
 
Found this, I might watch more of that channel...

I was really looking forward to this, but will rather wait for the 2021 Steam (on any other platform) release. At least by then more bugs/issues will be fixed with maybe even more content too.

Probably the best thing to do, but personally I don't mind the development process if it is something I can buy into.
 
I have a question on this for the Souls veterans who've played the beta.

Is the combat more akin to DS2 or DS3?

For the gameplay I've watched it looks really clunky, more like DS2. If that really is the case then I'm giving this a skip.

Define clunky.

They've said from the beginning; it will be more of Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 than Easy Souls (DS3 and onwards). I would hardly call it "clunky" or whatever that buzzword tries to categorize it as such.
 
Steam launch and dlc hits 18 aug 2021. Of course knowing my playlist I've not finished the title on EGS but will give its due love come the 18th.


 
Nice News?

We’re just two days away from The Virtuous Cycle’s release on all platforms, as well as (finally!) the release of the Mortal Shell base game on Steam.

We’ve been thinking a lot about how we can thank our incredible community for their support, and we think we’ve found a way to express our sheer appreciation:

The Virtuous Cycle expansion is yours to keep for free.

As long as you download it in the first five days that it’s out - between August 18 and August 23 - it’s yours to keep without paying anything. After that it reverts back to its original MSRP of $7.99 / €6.99 / £6.99. (Obviously you’ll also need to have Mortal Shell installed in order to access The Virtuous Cycle).

Here’s a new trailer showing you what you’re getting!


We hope you absolutely love The Virtuous Cycle - it spins Mortal Shell into a merciless and exciting roguelike, with more than 125 abilities to adapt your play style. Finally you get to possess Hadern, as well as command the Axatana - a wondrous transforming weapon.

Starting today, we also have a Twitch Drops promotion too. You can earn the most exclusive skins - as well as a brand new lute! - by watching the game on Twitch. More here: https://twitch.mortalshell.com

Take care,
- Team Mortal Shell
