Cold Symmetry has revealed the official PC system requirements for its upcoming Dark Souls-like game, Mortal Shell. Mortal Shell is a deep action-RPG in which you possess lost warriors, discover hidden sanctums, and face formidable foes.
According to the specs, PC gamers will at least need an Intel Core i5-4590 or an AMD FX 8350 with 8GB of RAM. Cold Symmetry also lists the NVIDIA GTX 970 and the AMD Radeon R9 290 as the minimum required GPUs.
The team recommends using an Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 with 16GB of RAM and NVIDIA GTX 1070 or AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 GPU. Mortal Shell will also require 40GB of free hard-disk space.
Unfortunately, Cold Symmetry did not reveal the framerate, resolution and graphics settings that these Mortal Shell PC requirements target. My guess is that the recommended specs are for gaming at 1080p/High with 60fps.
Mortal Shell will release later this year on the PC, and will be timed-exclusive on the Epic Games Store.

40GB SSD recomended? WTF,, it’s not an open world game..
Quit whining and upgrade.
With games that weight over 80 Gb, it can become expensive to have 2 – 4 Tb of SSD’s………. We are not all f*cking rich.
who the hell even needs so many games installed? i have 2x512gb ssd and I am fine
Are there really PC gamers who don’t at least have an SSD as their boot drive in 2020?
I saw one guy the other day… dude has a 2080ti and games on a 720p monitor. LOOOL!!! Atleast it must be bada#s to play any game over 700FPS LOL
must be severely bottlenecked by the cpu

Buy them periodically. I have 3 SSDs in my system purchased throughout 2017-19.
i have one. but no need to put in on ssd since it’s not an OW game..
Is this game next gen only? Not sure why the requirements are so steep
Next gen is a marketing term. It means absolutely nothing in reality.

I would also add:
VERY limited regional pricing

A Maurìì ma che stai a dì???? accontentati dai….e la caterva di giochi gratis ndò ce la metti???
fa talmente cagare quello store che i giochi gratis li ho acquistati su steam a due soldi LOL
i7 + 1070 ti can run this game at 1080p 100fps. Not 60fps.
Based on what?
Basic UE4 level loaded in the engine & benchmarked accordingly.
Minimum: Any Torrent Client
Recommended: qBittorrent
man sure if you can’t afford to support these 4 indie devs who made a sick amazing game then sure go torrent it. but atleast just keep it to yourself. it’s just sad and embaressing. Hope one day some mexican steals your job and proudly brags about it on a forum a#####le

Anybody that can read, will know who’s doing the crying little kid.
I disagree
The only requirement to play this is low IQ.
Lol EGS exclusive ? Good chance
Most games now starting to recommend 16GB RAM. I guess thats gonna be the norm now as the “next-gen” kicks in.
With RAM being as cheap as it is, I don’t think it matters much.
I found some of the russian devs working on this game on piracy forums with evidence back to 2008 so I’ll pirate this game because they are the absolute scum of the earth.
SSD….here we are….????????????
SSD recommended! Here we are
