- Valor Mortis - New Story Trailer - 25 August 2026
Greetings Soldiers,We approach our game launch and the final campaign for the Emperor on October 13! Last year, we revealed Valor Mortis at gamescom Opening Night Live. Today, we just debuted our latest reveal, a new Story Trailer. As Napoleon's conquests halts in Eastern Europe, a plague spreads across the continent in its wake. This same dark affliction courses through William Dowsett's veins, corrupting his body yet granting him a dangerous power: he now hears the voice of Emperor Bonaparte in his mind, guiding him to usurp The Shrike's resistance of the commonfolk. The trailer introduces a number of survivors you'll meet as you traverse the corrupted countryside. It's the first appearance of the Shrike, the rebel leader fighting Napoleon's Empire in occupied Eastern Europe. It also delivers new looks at the rest of the cast in this supernatural retelling of the Napoleonic Wars: resu…

- Welcome to Steam Next Fest - 15 June 2026
Greetings Soldiers!We'd like to welcome all players who are coming to our game from Steam Next Fest. With so many Demos available, we appreciate the time you've taken to try our game. We are making the first ever soulslike adventure in first-person perspective of this scale. You'll play as a former soldier of Napoleon who has risen from death with newfound strength. Wield swords, firearms and magical powers to duel against the mutant abominations that were once loyal army men. Very few games have been built around first-person precision melee combat. The perspective can cause issues regarding sense of space and combat readability. However, it's also a fresh and experimental take on the tried and true, soulslike formula. One that provides a different level of immersion and challenge than anything else in the genre. If you've played our previous Ghostrunner games, you'll know that we are…

- We are moving our release date to October 13th - 11 June 2026
Greetings Soldiers, September has become absolutely stacked with incredible looking games. We knew this was a possibility, but when you're in a Partner Showcase as we were, dates get locked weeks in advance. We want to give Valor Mortis (and your wallet) some room to breathe. Therefore, we’ve decided to move our release date to October 13th. In the meantime, you've already helped us fine-tune our new Demo. We've released two patches to address the most pertinent issues and we are still working to make it even better. This new release date also gives us more time to implement your feedback before launch. Check out the Demo, let us know what you think, and we’ll see you in October!(Live footage of us trying to find a clear release date in Fall 2026)
- Valor Mortis' acrobatic new demo makes me want to believe it's a soulslike prequel to Ghostrunner - 11 June 2026
Update: A few hours after I posted this, One More Level announced that Valor Mortis is delayed from September 24th to October 13th. I'm leaving the rest of the article as it was, even though several of its jokes are ruined. I thought I was pretty up to date on Valor Mortis , the Napoleonic first-person fencing soulslike underway at Ghostrunner devs One More Level, but it turns out I’d missed the four seconds of flesh magic hook-grappling in this prior trailer . As such, the swinging and wallrunning elements of the new, much-expanded demo ambushed me like British archers ambushed the French at Agincourt. Yes, I’m aware I’m about four hundred years off that simile being applicable. Also, there’s another new trailer, and a release date: September 24th 2026. Hang on, that’s the same day as Control Resonant . And Silent Hill: Townfall . And one only one day before Onimusha: Way of the Sword…
