How's your autumn going? Mine's fine so far, I've switched back to hot beverages, as much as every cell in my being screams to ask for ice. But I reckon that sounds better than the autumn Mortal Shell 2 is having, given the name of the Soulslike's next seasonal update: Rotten Autumn. Sounds bad! In practice, however, it's quite an expansive sounding update that's already out.
For starters, each shell has new shells to customise yourself with, a few of which can be seen in the trailer below. I'm particularly fond of the one that's just an incredibly veiny guy wearing a jock strap and a metal pumpkin for a helmet. Interestingly, the game now has a new alternative soundtrack you can pop on, composed by Rotting Christ's Sakis Tolis. Hopefully that means something to the metalheads as it means diddly squat to me.

Naturally, that makes another more direct follow-up that much more enticing. Whether another installment will follow those characters is a different question. CD Projekt Red has described both Edgerunners stories as standalone projects, and its creators have outlined an approach that gives different filmmakers room to explore the same world. What does all of this actually mean for the Netflix series moving forward?
