Developer Cold Symmetry and publisher Playstack have revealed the promising and Dark Souls-inspired Mortal Shell has a release date on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. More specifically, the pair have revealed the game will launch on August 18, via the aforementioned platforms. The latter will be limited to Steam, but the game will come to other PC digital storefronts in 2021.

To accompany the news, the pair also revealed a brand new trailer showing off the game in action. Further, they confirmed it will only cost $30, hinting perhaps at its scope and budget.

"Awakening as an empty vessel, you will enter into a shattered and twisted world where the remains of humanity wither and rot," reads an official blurb about the game. "Implored to do the bidding of the mysterious 'Dark Father,' you must traverse this tattered landscape and track down hidden sanctums of devout followers. There, in Mortal Shell’s most hallowed grounds, you must overcome formidable foes and harvest the sacred glands. You won’t be truly alone when the dead litter your path: Scattered across this land are the remnant anima of lost warriors who can be inhabited to gain their unique abilities and knowledge of weapons. The Dark Father is desperate for you to complete your task — but to what end?"

Mortal Shell is set to release worldwide on August 18 via the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. At the moment of publishing, there's been no word of any additional platforms.
