An intriguing historical action RPG has announced its PS5 release date window alongside a trailer. Brought to us by One More Level (Ghostrunner games), Valor Mortis will launch on current-gen platforms in fall 2026.
Action RPG Valor Mortis is set in alternate 19th century
Inspired by Soulslike games, Valor Mortis is a single-player first-person experience set in an alternate 19th century in a plague-ridden world ravaged by endless wars.
Fiction meets reality where players encounter historical figures and supernatural elements as a former soldier in Napoleon’s army.
Check out a new trailer below:
“You served Napoleon. You died for Napoleon. You have risen for Napoleon. You are William, a soldier of the Grande Armée brought back from a battlefield grave,” an official overview reads. “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.”
Publisher Lyrical Games hasn’t revealed whether Valor Mortis will be PS5 Pro enhanced at launch. A price has not been announced yet either.
We’ll update our readers when we have more information and a specific release date is announced. In the meantime, you can wishlist Valor Mortis on the PS Store.
