The first big showing at the start of presentations like Summer Game Fest is always a treat, and this year's opener certainly didn't disappoint. Leading the trailers and announcements during the 2025 showcase was Mortal Shell 2 — a follow-up to the original 2020 title.
Like the first Mortal Shell, its sequel looks to be a Soulslike action RPG with the original's body possession mechanic that lets the player change forms and take advantage of each one's unique capabilities. It's got a 2026 release window, and was announced with a bombastic heavy metal-filled trailer you can watch here or below.
