One More Level announced a delay for 'Valor Mortis' on June 12, only four days after revealing a September 24 release date alongside a demo. The developer cited a crowded September schedule as the reason, noting that the new date of October 13 gives the game and players' wallets some breathing room. According to GameFile, the decision was made immediately after publisher Lyrical Games saw release date announcements for 'Onimusha: Way of the Sword' and 'CONTROL Resonant' at State of Play, both of which land on or near September 24. The game is a Soulslike action RPG set in a fictionalized 19th-century Europe where players control a dead soldier of Napoleon's Grande Armée.
