Valor Mortis is a game I’ve kept an eye on since its reveal last year, and after playing a demo, it’s one of my most anticipated upcoming games. Fortunately, you and I won’t have to wait much longer to play it, as it launches on September 24 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
This was revealed by way of a new narrative-focused trailer shown during today’s Xbox Games Showcase, pulling back the decrepit layers on this unique first-person Soulslike from the studio behind the excellent Ghostrunner series. In it, you control William, a former soldier who rises from death and must confront the true cost of destiny, loyalty, and empire in this twisted alternate-history version of the Napoleonic Wars.
Check it out in the Valor Mortis release date trailer below:
“When the emperor commands, will you shrink from the opportunity or give everything for your country?” the game’s description reads. “Wield supernatural powers, battle horrifying monsters, and unravel a conspiracy that threatens all of humanity forged in the shadow of Napoleon’s ambition.”
Valor Mortis launches on September 24, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
