One More Level, the studio behind Ghostrunner, has released Valor Mortis, a first-person soulslike single-player action game. Set in the 19th century during an endless war, it follows William, a Continental Army soldier resurrected from a battlefield grave. It is available on PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, PS5 overseas, and Xbox with Game Pass. New Game+ is scheduled for Q4 2026, with a major story DLC planned for 2027.
The game casts the player as William, resurrected from a battlefield grave in an alternate 19th century shaped by an endless war. Combat mixes parries, dashes, and finishing strikes to internal organs, and the power of corruption makes the player stronger each time they die. Enemies include Napoleon's plague-ridden Old Guard. A New Game+ mode is scheduled for Q4 2026, and a major story DLC is planned for 2027.
