This Week's New Game Releases Include Mortal Shell II and STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT

This week's new game releases in Japan and North America are headlined by two major titles on August 20: the soulslike action RPG Mortal Shell II and the remake STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT. Mortal Shell II launches on Steam, PS Store, and Xbox Store for 6,480 yen, with Devout Edition early access starting August 17. It is set in a ruined world where the corpse of a fallen goddess became the foundation of faith; players become a Harbinger who dons the remains of warriors called Shells to inherit their abilities, combat styles, and memories. STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT is a complete remake of the 2009 Xbox 360 original, with characters, backgrounds, and event stills redrawn from line art and all in-game voices re-recorded. It is based on the STEINS;GATE ELITE scenario with adjusted pacing, and costs 6,380 yen on Steam, PS Store, and My Nintendo Store. Other notable releases this week include The Sinking City 2 and Starsand Island on August 18, plus Bubble Bobble Sugar Dungeon Boost and RyzaChat: AI Ryza on August 20.
