The folks at One More Level, creators of the Ghostrunner franchise, are going in a completely different direction. They are moving to the Napoleonic Wars, but with a special Soulslike touch. Valor Mortis has guns, swords, zombies, grappling hooks, and more. This game will only have a story mode and will be an action-packed first-person shooter with other genres involved.
Release Date and Platforms
Valor Mortis will be released on October 13. It will also be available for Windows PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. It will have different editions, and both will include the base game.
Story Mode
You´ll play as William, a resurrected soldier who will discover in the worst way possible that everything has changed in Europe. A mysterious plague has killed or possessed both soldiers and civilians. There is also a giant but unknown power that you can control and use to destroy all your enemies and discover what is happening.
William will have a sword and guns as his basic weapons. You can perform stealth kills, throw fire, and use this power to open new paths throughout the territory. Parrying is also a possibility, just as it was in Ghostrunner. All of this has taken a heavy toll on the land, and the landscapes have changed.
There are strange veins all over the place that you can open using different methods. Valor Mortis offers some side quests and invites you to explore the entire map for secrets and discoveries about what is happening. Be quick and find out what this bizarre plague is and why you have been resurrected.
Trailers
There are several trailers available for Valor Mortis, but the game was first revealed only a year ago. Lyrical Games and One More Level introduced the game as a first-person Soulslike, showing a devastated battlefield with different enemies infected by the game´s crimson plague.
After that, a new trailer was released to announce the demo and reveal the release date. This trailer also showed some actual gameplay, including the parry mechanic and much more. The game started attracting attention from the community.
Then, the launch trailer was released, confirming the release date and showing which editions would be available. Valor Mortis is one of the most anticipated games of the year.
