What Is the Mortal Shell II Devout Edition?

What the Devout Edition Includes

The Devout Edition is the digital deluxe version of Mortal Shell II. The official Steam news described it as follows: "We have revealed the Devout Edition - a digital deluxe version of Mortal Shell II."

• The base game
• An exclusive Obsidian skin set for all eight playable Shells (Tiel, Proxima, Genessa, Lazlo, Smert, Eredrim, Sariel, and Gragu)
• Up to 72 hours of advance access (a pre-order benefit, now concluded)

Devout Edition comes with eight special Obsidian Shell Skins

The Xbox and PlayStation store pages describe the edition the same way: "Mortal Shell II: Devout Edition features the base game as well as an exclusive Obsidian skin set for all eight playable Shells." The official site also promotes it: "purchase the devout edition now and transform all eight playable shells with the obsidian skin set."

Per LDShop's comparison, you are not paying for extra story missions or exclusive gameplay systems — the draw is the early window and the cosmetic set.

Price

The Devout Edition's official pricing is $59.99 / €59.99 / £47.99, and the US price matches the Xbox and PlayStation store pages. The standard edition's US price is $49.99; EUR and GBP prices for the standard edition were not confirmed in the sources collected for this page.

The Devout Edition content is also sold separately as an upgrade: Steam lists the Devout Edition Upgrade as its own DLC, and the PlayStation Store shows the upgrade at $10.99 (US). On Xbox, the Devout Edition is presented as a bundle of the base game ($49.99+) plus the upgrade ($10.99).

Advance Access

Pre-ordering the Devout Edition let players start on August 17, 2026 — up to 72 hours (three days) before the August 20 general release. The official news states: "Pre-order the Devout Edition and play Mortal Shell II up to three days early."

A community stream titled "Advanced Access! Mortal Shell II Devout Edition" was published on August 17, 2026, showing Devout Edition advance-access gameplay — consistent with the official August 17 start.

This window is over: the game released worldwide on August 20, 2026, and pre-orders have ended. Per the official news, early access applied to pre-orders of the Devout Edition itself; the standalone upgrade did not carry the advance access benefit.

How It Differs From the Standard Edition

• $10 higher than the standard edition's US price ($59.99 vs $49.99)
• Up to 72 hours of advance access — standard buyers waited until August 20
• Obsidian skins for all eight Shells (cosmetic only)
• No extra story missions or exclusive gameplay systems

LDShop's edition comparison sums it up: "The big attraction is getting into Mortal Shell II up to three days early, with the eight-Shell cosmetic set as a nice extra."
