Gladio Mori

Gladio Mori has left Early Access and is available in version 1.0 on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a demo on the same platforms. The full release includes cross-play and the user-built Move Editor.

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 19

Gladio Mori left Early Access on September 16, 2026, when Plebeian Studio released version 1.0 of the physics-based melee fighting game. The game had been in early access since November 2024. The full release is available on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a demo on the same platforms. Cross-play is supported across those versions.

The combat system does not use health bars. Instead, the game simulates body damage: bleeding from severed arteries or lost limbs can be fatal, and a precise thrust to a vital point can end a match in one blow. The Move Editor, which lets players design custom attack motions, is part of the full release, and users have shared unusual motions they created.

Coverage before the launch described the September 16 end of about two years of Early Access updates and the arrival of console versions with full cross-play. The launch story confirmed the same platforms, the demo, and the 1.0 version number. Both stories agree on the core details: Plebeian Studio, the no-health-bar damage model, and the Move Editor.
