Cold Symmetry and Playstack have announced to launch the Mortal Shell The Virtuous Cycle for free for the first 5 days after launch. This means that you can keep the DLC forever if you claim the expansion between August 18-23.
This comes as the publisher and developer celebrate the first year anniversary of the game. Once the promotional period ends, The Virtuous Cycle DLC will return to its MSRP of $7.99.
Check out the trailer of Mortal Shell’s latest expansion:
The Virtuous Cycle expansion reinvents your journey through Fallgrim as enemies will cycle and shuffle upon each death. This brings an extra challenge to the brutal game, keeping players guessing on what lies ahead, or what enemy is going to pop out next. Having said that, the new expansion also gives you command over Hadern, where you can possess and use this Shell. In addition, you now have access to Axatana weapon, which can be used as a heavy axe or a quick set of dual katanas.
The Expansion will be available on all platforms the game is available on: PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S.
Kiron Ramdewar, the head of PC and console at Playstack had this to say,
Since we launched Mortal Shell back in August 2020 we have been thinking about how to give our fans something truly special that demonstrates our sincere appreciation for their support.
The Virtuous Cycle Expansion has been packed with content that fans of the genre will love, and provides a new unique way to experience the rich Mortal Shell universe. We can’t wait to see how new and old players will tackle our new roguelike mode when venturing into the depths of Fallgrim.
Mortal Shell has sold in excess of 500,000 copies since its release in August 2020, and we even got to review it last year where we gave it a 7/10. The free expansion will require you to purchase the base game if you don’t already have it.
