Valor Mortis releases on October 13, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It was moved from a September date to avoid a crowded release window.
It is developed by One More Level — the Polish studio behind Ghostrunner and Ghostrunner 2 — and published by Lyrical Games.
It is a first-person soulslike. Despite the perspective, combat is built on melee fundamentals — reading telegraphed attacks and answering with a block, dodge or parry — closer to Dark Souls or Bloodborne than to an FPS.
Endurance is the game's stamina resource. Attacking, blocking, dodging and parrying all draw from it and it regenerates over time, so fights reward measured, tactical play rather than constant aggression.
