Valor Mortis costs $40 and launches on 13 October 2026

• The studio says the base game includes around 20 hours of story and that the price was also shaped by the crowded fall 2026 release window.
• Valor Mortis is set for 13 October 2026 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5; a post from the official account also mentions day-one availability via Xbox Game Pass.

What happened

One More Level, the Polish studio behind Ghostrunner, has set the price of Valor Mortis at $40 / €40. The game is described as a first-person action Soulslike set in a supernatural version of the Napoleonic Wars. According to the studio, that price point has been discussed internally for more than a year.

The developer ties the price to the scope of the game. In its explanation, One More Level says Valor Mortis offers roughly 20 hours of story content and can stand alongside many full-price releases in terms of quality, polish, and length. The studio also points to fall 2026 as a crowded release period, where players will have plenty of options competing for their time and money.

Alongside the standard edition, there will be a Deluxe Edition priced at $60 / €60. It includes the base game, four weapon skin packs, and a Major Story DLC planned for 2027. The release is scheduled for 13 October 2026 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

A post from the official Valor Mortis account also mentions day-one availability through Xbox Game Pass. The available sources do not clarify whether that applies worldwide or varies by region.

Background

Valor Mortis comes from One More Level, best known for Ghostrunner. In the sources, the game is consistently described as a first-person Soulslike with a Napoleonic setting, but in a supernatural twist. That makes it stand out from many other Soulslike games, which are more often set in fantasy or medieval worlds.

The pricing also shows that the studio is planning multiple editions. The standard version costs $40 / €40, while the Deluxe Edition is set at $60 / €60 and adds cosmetic content plus a story expansion in 2027. The sources do not yet clarify the exact contents of that expansion or whether there are regional price differences, such as for the UK.
