Valor Mortis Release Date, Platforms, Game Pass & Price

Valor Mortis is the first-person soulslike set in a fantastical reimagining of the Napoleonic Wars, developed by One More Level, the studio behind the Ghostrunner series, and published alongside Lyrical Games. The setup alone makes it stand out from the crowded soulslike field, and with launch day arriving October 13, 2026, there are plenty of questions worth answering before you commit your time and money.

When does Valor Mortis release, and what are the exact launch times?

Valor Mortis launches on October 13, 2026. The game goes live at 11:00 AM PT, and the table below covers every major region so you can plan accordingly.

Valor Mortis Release Date, Platforms, Game Pass & Price

Is there early access or a demo available?

No early access exists for Valor Mortis. There is no paid upgrade, no pre-order bonus that gets you in early, nothing. Launch day is the first time anyone plays the full game.

A limited demo did run on Steam for a short period before launch, but that window has closed and the demo is no longer available. If you missed it, you missed it.

Which platforms support Valor Mortis?

Valor Mortis is available on three platforms at launch:

• PC (via Steam)
• PlayStation 5
• Xbox Series X|S (with Xbox Play Anywhere support)

Past-gen consoles are not supported, so PS4 and Xbox One players are out of luck. There has been no announcement regarding a Nintendo Switch 2 version.

The Xbox Play Anywhere support is a genuine bonus for Xbox players. Buy it once digitally and you can play on both Xbox Series X|S and PC without paying again.

Is Valor Mortis on Xbox Game Pass?

Yes. Valor Mortis launches as a day-one addition to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. If you are already subscribed at the Ultimate tier, you can download and play on day one at no extra cost.

This is one of the better value propositions in the game's launch lineup for Xbox players, given the $39.99 standard asking price.

How much does Valor Mortis cost?

Two editions are available at launch:

The $20 gap between editions is essentially a pre-purchase of the planned Story DLC plus cosmetic weapon skins. If you know you will want the DLC anyway, the Deluxe Edition saves you money over buying separately later. If you are on the fence about the game itself, the Standard Edition is the safer entry point.

Will Valor Mortis have DLC?

A Major Story DLC is confirmed and planned for 2027. It will tell a new story set in the world of Valor Mortis, though specific details about its content have not been revealed yet. The Deluxe Edition includes this DLC as part of the package.

Is Valor Mortis single-player or multiplayer?

Strictly single-player. There is no co-op, no online component, no asynchronous multiplayer of any kind. You are on your own against Napoleon's forces, which fits the soulslike format well. The genre has always been about personal mastery over shared difficulty, and One More Level is leaning into that fully.

For players who enjoy adventure games with deep solo experiences and punishing combat, Valor Mortis is squarely aimed at you.

Who developed Valor Mortis?

One More Level built the game, with Lyrical Games handling publishing. One More Level's previous work on the Ghostrunner series gives them a track record with fast, skill-intensive first-person action, which makes the move into soulslike territory a natural progression rather than a left-field pivot.
