Valor Mortis team One More Level believes it's created a first-person Soulslike with the "quality, fidelity, and play time" of a full-priced PS5 release, so it's decided to price its upcoming game at $39.99 instead.
In a statement posted to social media, the developer talks up the quality of Valor Mortis, but also recognises it's putting the title out during a busy period with a lot of other PS5 releases. It was already delayed once — out of this month and to 13th October 2026 — because of the crowded release calendar.
To that end, the Ghostrunner team is pricing Valor Mortis at $39.99.
Further, the game won't be available to pre-order. Instead of asking for cash ahead of time, the developer wants "to let the completed version of our game do the talking". It wants you to see the final version and then decide if you want to buy it or not.
There will be a $59.99 option: the Deluxe Edition. This will package in a "major story DLC" due for release in 2027, and between the base game's launch and its release, there'll be some cosmetic packs. "We also have multiple free updates planned that will add more ways to enjoy Valor Mortis in the weeks and months ahead," the developer added.
For those who don't know, Valor Mortis is the next game from the Ghostrunner studio, and takes a first-person Soulslike structure to the times of Napoleon.
"You are William, a soldier of the Grande Armée brought back from a battlefield grave. But the Europe you awaken to is not the one you sacrificed for. A mysterious plague now sweeps the continent, and you have been reborn with its corrupting power pulsing through your veins."
It's coming to PS5 on 13th October 2026, now confirmed at a base price of $39.99. Are you interested in the game? Let us know in the comments below.
