Valor Mortis

Valor Mortis comes from developer One More Level, the studio behind Ghostrunner, and publisher Lyrical Games. The game released on October 13, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It is a first-person action Soulslike set in a plague-ravaged Europe, so danger waits around every corner. Players take the role of William, a soldier of Napoleon’s Grande Armée who rises from a battlefield grave.

Über das Spiel

William wakes in a Europe that no longer matches the one he fought for. First, a mysterious plague sweeps the continent, and its corrupting power now pulses through his veins. Then players step into brutal fights with horrifying monsters. Combat rewards timing, so parries and dashes decide who survives each encounter. As a result, every enemy teaches players something new about patience and pressure.

Because of the first-person camera, players see every fight directly through William’s eyes. Additionally, a range of weapons lets players mix saber, pistol, and other tools into personal styles. Visceral finishers reward a clean win, so aggressive play always feels worthwhile. Meanwhile, the plague’s power enhances attacks and unlocks supernatural abilities. Players also adapt their fighting style after each death, because failure shapes the next attempt. Finally, the story follows a conspiracy that threatens all of humanity.

Wesentliche Merkmale

Parry-Based Combat: Parries, dashes, and finishers form the core of every fight. Moreover, weapon combinations let players change their approach against tougher enemies.
Plague Powers: The corruption in William’s veins also fuels stronger attacks. Furthermore, supernatural abilities unlock over time, so builds grow more personal.
First-Person Perspective: The camera sits inside the soldier’s eyes. Therefore, every swing and block feels closer than in most Soulslikes.
20-Hour Story: First, the campaign runs about 20 hours. Additionally, free content updates are planned for the weeks and months after launch.
