If you like your physical copies, the good news is that Souls-like game won't be hitting actual shelves until October.
Developer Cold Symmetry announced on the official site that a physical edition of Mortal Shell has been put into development. "We've heard your requests. In fact, we've been stunned by the sheer amount of people who have asked for a physical edition of mortal shell," the post reads. "So we're delighted to reveal that a boxed version of mortal shell is now in production! Due to the extra time required for manufacturing and distribution, the boxed version will arrive a little later than the digital edition."
Putting together a physical version so late into development meant making digital release unlikely to begin with, never mind the ongoing situation around COVID-19. As such, the release date for boxed copies of Mortal Shell is October 2. An exclusive poster, and a softback artbook are included to sweeten the deal. It should be noted the PC version doesn't have a disc, but a redeemable code for the Epic Games Store, where the horror game is a timed exclusive. The boxed version is only available in Europe and North America.
The less than half of the other players did – for shame.
Mortal Shell will launch on the Epic Games Store on August 18, and Steam sometime next year.
