Mortal Shell 2 Revered Edition: Contents & Price

The Mortal Shell 2 Revered Edition is the collector's physical release of Cold Symmetry's sequel: a PS5-exclusive box set listed at $69.99 by major US retailers and, as of 2026-08-18, sold out in most territories. This page lists exactly what the Mortal Shell 2 Revered Edition contains, how it stacks up against the Devout and standard editions, where it was sold, and what your realistic options are now that pre-orders have dried up. All stock and price details carry today's verification date, because this is the fastest-moving page on the site.

What the Revered Edition includes

The package, confirmed across the official site and retailer listings:

• A physical PS5 copy of Mortal Shell II
• A softcover artbook running more than 100 pages
• A SteelBook case (the official site calls it a Steelcase)
• Three fine art prints
• A collector's tuck-in box holding the set
• Exclusive in-game cosmetics — still marked "to be revealed" as of 2026-08-18
• The Skeletal and Obsidian Harbinger pre-order skins

The official site confirms the artbook, case, prints, and digital extras directly; the packaging details come from retailer listings. Video reviewers who walked through the reveal material praise the case artwork and suggest the prints are worth framing. The exclusive cosmetics are the one blank space: they were announced as "will be revealed later," and nothing had filled that in by verification day — expect the reveal around launch. The box launches on August 20, 2026 — the same day as the standard edition, not earlier — and pre-orders of any edition, Revered included, carry the same two Harbinger skins, so nothing about the pre-order bonus forces you toward this tier.

Revered vs Devout vs Standard

The cleanest way to frame the Mortal Shell 2 Revered Edition is side by side with the other two tiers. The comparison below consolidates the publisher's store pages and retailer listings, verified 2026-08-18:

Feature	Standard	Devout	Revered
US price	$49.99	$59.99	$69.99 at major US retailers
Full game	Yes	Yes	Yes
Release	Aug 20	Up to 72 hours early (Aug 17)	Aug 20
8 Obsidian shell skins	No	Yes	No
Pre-order Harbinger skins	Yes	Yes	Yes
Physical collectibles	No	No	Yes
Format	Digital, plus PS5 physical	Digital only	PS5 physical
Platforms	PS5 / Xbox Series / Steam	PS5 / Xbox Series / Steam	PS5

No, the Revered Edition does not include early access

This is the single most misunderstood point, so here it is plainly: the Mortal Shell 2 Revered Edition carries no Advanced Access. The up-to-72-hour head start — live since August 17, 2026 at 13:00 UTC — belongs to the digital Devout Edition alone, and Revered owners unlock on August 20 like everyone buying the standard edition, with progress starting fresh on the same servers and the same build. The "up to" wording matters, too: the exact unlock moment depends on your region, with store pages anchoring it to 13:00 UTC rather than midnight local time. Do not treat Revered as "Devout plus physical extras," either: its confirmed contents omit the Devout Edition's eight Obsidian shell skins. Revered instead gets its own exclusive in-game cosmetics, with details still to be revealed at verification time. Two independent sources — the LDShop edition comparison and the most-watched edition breakdown on YouTube — confirm both omissions, and nothing official contradicts them.

Price and where it was sold

Neither the official site nor the publisher page prints a Revered price; the figures below are corroborated across multiple retailers and reports, verified 2026-08-18. The $69.99 tag was first reported when pre-orders opened in April and has held at every retailer since:

• US: $69.99 at major retailers
• Europe: around €69.99
• UK: £59.99 RRP, with game.co.uk listing it at £54.99 — but that listing showed a December 31, 2026 release date, almost certainly a placeholder, so confirm shipping timing with the retailer before committing
• South Africa: R1,599 at retail, per the same regional pre-order guide that tracked the standard and Devout prices

The official site names nine retail partners: Amazon US, Amazon CA, Amazon UK, GameStop US, EB Games AU, GAME UK, Micromania FR, Target, and Walmart. There is no PC or Xbox Revered Edition, and none has been announced. Pre-orders for both physical editions opened back on April 2, 2026 — months before the July 8 release-date trailer put the game on the wider radar — which is part of why collector stock was gone before many players knew it existed.

Sold out — and the scalper situation

The official site now labels the Mortal Shell 2 Revered Edition "sold-out in most territories," and the publisher's statement, issued after stock vanished, explains why: demand exceeded expectations, supply across a number of retailers is fully reserved, and because of manufacturing lead times there is a "very low chance" of additional physical copies before the August 20 release. Any restock decision sits with distribution partners, with no guarantee of more copies after launch either. It is one of the first major collector's-edition sell-outs of the current physical-games twilight, which is exactly why resellers circled it so quickly.

Predictably, resellers moved in within days of the stock drying up. eBay listings captured on August 16 were asking $170, $175, $180, $187, and $200 for the $69.99 box — close to triple the retail price. Our advice matches the community consensus: do not pay it. The standard PS5 disc remains available at $49.99, every digital edition is in stock by definition, and a restock announcement would land on the official channels first.

Versus the first game's physical edition

For series veterans, the contrast is striking. The original Mortal Shell launched digitally on August 18, 2020, and its physical edition followed six weeks later on October 2 at $29.99 / £29.99 / €34.99, packing a softcover artbook and a fold-out poster. The sequel's collector's box launches day-and-date with the digital release and is a far more substantial package — a 100-plus-page artbook, SteelBook, three prints, and exclusive cosmetics in display packaging. Fans who waited weeks for a disc in 2020 get everything on day one this time, at least in theory; in practice, the sell-out means many will get it late or not at all.

Which edition should you buy?

With the table above in mind, the decision tree is short. Buy the standard edition if you simply want the complete game at the lowest price — nothing story- or gameplay-related is locked away from you, and at $49.99 it is the value pick by a wide margin. Buy the Devout Edition if playing before August 20 genuinely matters to you or you want the full Obsidian shell skin set; just know that its early-access half evaporates once launch day passes, leaving a $10 skin bundle. And the Mortal Shell 2 Revered Edition is for exactly one audience: collectors who want the artbook, SteelBook, and prints on a shelf, and who can find a box at the $69.99 retail price. Everyone else should let the resellers keep their stock.

One last word on timing. Everything on this page — the contents list, the $69.99 figure, the nine retailers, the sold-out label — was verified on 2026-08-18, two days before launch. The Mortal Shell 2 Revered Edition story is not finished: the exclusive cosmetics still need their reveal, restock decisions are pending with distribution partners, and reseller prices will keep moving. We will revisit this page the moment any of those change.
