Indie studio Cold Symmetry revealed their upcoming title Mortal Shell, an action RPG that will test “your sanity and resilience in a shattered world.

It reminds me of the online game Warframe as you inhabit Shells scattered across the game world. They are defeated warriors that have unique fighting styles and skill sets and once inside it plays similar to the Souls series, it also looks punishing.
Cold Symmetry has been developing Mortal Shell for two years with a small veteran team of 15. They are aiming to release Mortal Shell on PS4, Xbox One, and PC sometime in Q3 of 2020.
