In a game like Mortal Shell, there aren't many opportunities for players to heal themselves, especially after a tough battle. Players often face formidable enemies that can bring down their health in just a few hits, making each fight more crucial than the other. Due to this, players must always be wary of having enough healing items, which can otherwise result in a quick death. 73m20

According to developer Cold Symmetry, the PS Plus version of Mortal Shell will not include enhancements on PS5. Sony confirmed last week that Mortal Shell is coming to PS Plus for the December 2021 lineup, which also features Godfall: Challenger Edition and Lego DC Super-Villains. The new additions to the subscription service go live tomorrow, December 7, meaning today marks the last day that can claim November's offers of Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Knockout City, and First Class Trouble.

Mortal Shell was released last year as the inaugural game from developer Cold Symmetry, and some players are wondering how similar the game is to Dark Souls. The popularity of the Dark Souls franchise has spawned a sub-genre of games called "Soulslikes," with many developers attempting to pay homage to FromSoftware’s games by replicating the challenge of the series in new trappings. Both Nioh and The Surge stand out as popular Soulslike titles released in recent years, and even this year’s Kena: Bridge of Spirits hides some Soulslike difficulty under its Pixar-animated aesthetic.

According to a leak, PS Plus' December 2021 lineup will be headlined by Mortal Shell and Godfall. The leak comes courtesy of French gaming forum Dealabs whose track record speak for itself. After all, this is the very same source that prematurely confirmed Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning for PS Plus' November offerings. The forum also leaked the October lineup, which included Hell Let Loose, Mortal Kombat X, and PGA Tour 2K21.

The November 2021 additions for Xbox Game include Mortal Shell and real-time strategy game Evil Genius 2: World Domination. Launched over four years ago in the summer of 2017, Xbox Game evolved into the gold standard for game-based streaming services by offering what many deem the best deal in gaming.

The Virtuous Cycle DLC for Mortal Shell contains a new weapon called the Axatana, the weapon of Hadern, the Deliverer. The Axatana can transform between an axe and dual katanas on demand, allowing its to have more versatility in their combat. Long before Axatana can be used, however, Hadern will need to be defeated.

The Virtuous Cycle is Mortal Shell's one-year anniversary DLC, perfect for fans who are looking to play through a new experience, and unlock new items such as the Hadern Shell. The Hadern Shell is available only through The Virtuous Cycle DLC, and the DLC is free to claim for a limited time. The Hadern Shell can acquire and activate any ability from each of the four other Shells after unlocking the respective Accretion abilities.

When Mortal Shell'sThe Virtuous Cycle expansion goes live on August 18, fans will get to claim and keep the content at no cost during its first five days on the market. The advent of DLC and its status as a freebie marks a celebratory occasion - the one-year anniversary of Mortal Shell's August 2020 release date.

Mortal Shell, the first game from fledgling developer Cold Symmetry, bears more than a ing likeness to FromSoftware's Dark Souls. Dark Souls and its follow-ups have influenced seemingly countless games that came after them, with the term "Soulslike" now in the common vernacular. Yet Mortal Shell also has its own distinct features that make it different from its inspiration.

Developer Cold Symmetry and publisher Playstack announced today that Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition, a remastered version of the game, is coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S early next month. Mortal Shell is a Soulslike indie title that initially impressed audiences with its graphical prowess before firmly establishing itself as a solid addition to the genre.
