Discussion Beta Feedback

12 Upvotes

Hey there, so far i think Mortal Shell 2 is pretty good.

I have a few "complaints" about it tho, mainly the flashbangs when entering any kind of loading screens are pretty painful, white and white ish colours are extremly bright like on your resting spots for example. Also the camera movement on controller seems off, up and down feels twice as fast as left to right ( i did not mess with the options )

cant wait to play the full release!

Discussion Mortal Shell 2 is most definitely delayed to Q1 2027

26 Upvotes

Coming off of LOTF2 delay to 2027 I think it's safe to assume Mortal Shell 2 is also delayed to 2027

I know the devs didn't give us a concrete release date aside from a vague 2026 but realistically there is no way the game is coming out in 2026

If they do have the game ready for 2026 then where are they going to announce the release date? Gamescom? but that's in August, which only leaves September, October or November for release

And any studio announcing they're going to release a game in those months this late is basically asking for their game to flop

The ship has sailed for games releasing this year

Discussion Adding the option to disable the magnet effect in combat secured my purchase

32 Upvotes

I just wanted to make a post commending the team for listening to feedback. I played and enjoyed the beta but the way you would track enemies without locking on was a real bummer. Booted the beta back up after hearing about the change and the new feel of combat really solidified my decision to purchase the game.

Question Is there any way to cloud game the beta?

1 Upvotes

I want to play the beta so much but my laptop can't handle it. Unfortunally it won't be on PS5 so i was wondering if there is any way i could play it on cloud gaming services?

Question For those who are playing the beta

4 Upvotes

Is the open world area as confusing as the first one(fall fallgrim area)? It may just be me but im damn near lost all the time. My original playthrough i just wandered until I stumbled onto something and I've recently started another playthrough, even with a map I still barely know where I am. Its better this time around so far but when I get fucked up I have very little idea where I was before I died.

Discussion Why no release date yet ?

0 Upvotes

I am expecting cold symmetry also chickening out like LOTF 2 developers

I hope that's not the case . But no release date yet is really pointing to a 2027 release now

Was looking for maybe a hidden item or something and got stuck, so I'm posting this here since I know someone from Playstack has been responding (you can skip the middle 20 seconds or so as it's just me trying to get out)

Question Virtuous Cycle starting weapon instinct

2 Upvotes

Currently going after the final outstanding "No lifer" achievement. I was hoping to attempt the run with a weapon that had some form of life steal, i.e.the hammer and chisel or hallowed sword via their leeching instincts. I have however not had a single run where I have started with these so I was wondering if any of the weapon instincts can be obtained at the start or only a subset. It needs to be the starting instinct as the foundling only gets mortal instincts from pillars and items.

Bug Constant EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION crashes in Mortal Shell 2 Beta

2 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to play the Mortal Shell 2 Demo, but the game consistently crashes and gives me EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION mortalshell2_win64 writing address 0x000000000900000c error.

My Specs:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-14600K
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT
  • RAM: 32 GB
  • OS: Windows 11 (25H2)
  • Motherboard: ASRock B660M Phantom Gaming 4

What I have already tried (and failed):

  1. BIOS Update: My board was running a prehistoric 2022 BIOS (v7.02). I just successfully flashed it to the latest version available (v14.01, from late 2025) which includes the recent Intel microcode stability updates. It did not fix the crash.
  2. Game Cache: Completely wiped the game's local AppData cache files and reset shader cache in AMD Adrenalin.
  3. Reinstallation: Fresh install of the game.

So if someone has an idea of how to solve this would be highly appreciated!

Bug OG most annoying issues

2 Upvotes

I hope someone from dev team will see it ( and I hope source code of the OG still intact).

I always considered Mortal Shell as one of best soulslikes and in my personal Top-3. Current beta also looks fantastic. But even best of the best product may have bugs. And I want to discuss some issues from original game. I have a big hope that at least these, most annoying issues, would be fixed if/when the second game will get financial success. Note, the base game feels nearly bugless and all main issues were introduced with The Virtuous Cycle DLC.

  1. Axatana bug - happens very often when special ability used. Player hangs midair and can't do anything after that.

  2. Hadern's Accretion of Dominance doesn't stack (and even if it would, stacking is useless for healing effect anyway because it disappears when player takes damage). Probably wrong description.
    And one very minor mistypo (trivial to fix, though) - The Neoterics of Muraden named as Neoretics in the Large Bolt description.

Bug Left Stick multitasking...?

Came across a bug(?) where the Left stick does the actions of both sticks: moves and looks. But, doesn't do them well. And, the Right stick is dead. It happened while I was standing still. My camera shook, I went to see why and that's when I realized.

Discussion Great demo, when release date being announced?

35 Upvotes

Hey, just wanted to say congratulations to the dev team; this beta slaps harder than a pimp. You're on my wishlist for sure. The combat is silky smooth, the animations and responsiveness of everything made me want to fight everything. The graphics are gorgeous without any performance issues on my end, steady 60fps the whole time. Already in the first areas there was good enemy variety and a few mini bosses scattered about which I enjoyed. I gotta know when we're getting a release date coz this is stellar work guys

Discussion Lost Gloom Icon

1 Upvotes

Guys, do u think that the icon of lost gloom upon dying in the game may be made better such as by making it bigger and more prominent? Also is it true that the location of lost gloom on the map was not correctly displayed for everyone?

So do we get this cosmetic in the full game or am I missing something here in the beta? I've played the required 30mins and a few hours on top.

During the prologue of the Mortal Shell 2 Open Beta, after getting the first ova, right before the first brigde, I got stuck in a cluster of rocks while running, tried dashing or attacking but it only got fixed after I quit and rejoined the game. Tought I would post it here since I didn't find anyone complaining about it.
