Overview

• One More Level announced Valor Mortis during Gamescom Opening Night Live with Lyrical Games as publisher.
• Players control William, a resurrected Grande Armée soldier empowered by the plague-like Nephtoglobin in a grim alternate history.
• Combat blends methodical parries and dodges with limited firearms, dual-wielding, and supernatural Transmutations, layered over Metroidvania-style progression.
• A pre-alpha hands-on from Game Informer calls the concept and combat promising while noting optimization and polish are still in progress.
• Sign-ups for a closed playtest will open on the official site, with testing scheduled for the weeks following the Gamescom reveal.
