Overview
- The game will go live Tuesday, October 13, 2026, and will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass with releases for PC (Xbox Play Anywhere), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
- Developed by One More Level, Valor Mortis is a first‑person Soulslike that uses checkpoints called lanterns and a death‑currency called Catalysts for upgrades and progression.
- Reviewers playing PC/Steam builds say combat is the standout, noting satisfying parries, dashes, finishers, a mix of melee and firearms, and unlockable Transmutation abilities.
- Critics report a typical near‑complete playthrough runs about 18–22 hours and raise concerns about campaign length, repeated enemy types, a punishing late‑game sequence and some visual and audio limitations.
- Priced at $39.99 with no pre‑orders, the studio positioned the title and Game Pass debut as a strategy to boost discoverability in a crowded fall release slate.
