Mortal Shell is a singleplayer third-person action RPG game developed by Cold Symmetry and published by Playstack. The game uses Unreal Engine 4.
A closed beta for the game was announced on June 11, 2020 and was available from July 3 to July 10, 2020.[2] The beta generated significant interest, resulting in the developer opening it to the public. This led to 350,000 players playing the beta.[3][4] The game was released on August 18, 2020 as a one year exclusive to Epic Games Store, and released on other storefronts a year later.
