Valor Mortis announced

One More Level has put a fall 2026 release window on Valor Mortis, its first-person action role-playing game for personal computer, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and Series S. (omlgames.com) The Polish studio showed the game again during the Triple-i Initiative showcase on April 9, 2026, alongside a new trailer highlighting a fresh weapon, new environments, a boss fight, and parkour movement. Publisher Lyrical Games is attached to the project. (ign.com) Valor Mortis is a single-player game told from a first-person view, the camera angle used in Ghostrunner, but it swaps cyberpunk speed-running for slower, punishing melee combat. The official site says players control William, a dead soldier from Napoleon’s army who returns in a plague-ravaged Europe filled with monsters and supernatural powers. (store.steampowered.com) That pitch places the game in the “soulslike” lane, a label used for action games built around hard fights, repeated deaths, and learning enemy patterns through trial and error. One More Level is also mixing in “Metroidvania-inspired” level design, meaning interconnected maps that open up as players gain new abilities. (valormortis.game) The announcement matters for One More Level because Valor Mortis is the studio’s first wholly owned original property, rather than a follow-up to Ghostrunner. A press release tied to the April showcase called it the team’s “most ambitious project to date” and said it was built in Unreal Engine 5. (pressreleases.triplepointpr.com) The game has been public since August 19, 2025, when it was unveiled for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and personal computer with a broader 2026 target. The new fall window narrows that schedule after about eight months without a dated release frame. (gematsu.com) Recent hands-on coverage has pointed to familiar One More Level ideas under the new setting, including first-person swordplay, mobility tools, and boss-driven progression. Game Rant’s preview from PAX East 2026 described a mix of duels, traversal, and horror imagery set in an alternate early-19th-century France. (gamerant.com) For now, the clearest takeaway is timing: Valor Mortis is no longer just a 2026 project on a wishlist page. It is now a named fall 2026 release target from the Ghostrunner studio, with platform plans and core features locked in public. (gematsu.com)
