Valor Mortis Comes to PS Plus and Game Pass, and You Can Try It for Free

One More Level Games, known for Ghostrunner, announced Valor Mortis, a first-person soulslike set in a plague-ravaged Napoleonic era. The game follows William, a revived soldier who discovers his comrades have been transformed into monsters while he gains unique abilities. Players must defeat infected enemies, collect Catalysts and Ambers to unlock skills, and customize William’s stats to suit their playstyle. The narrative blends historical setting with supernatural horror elements, offering a distinct tone compared to typical action titles.

Valor Mortis launches simultaneously on Oct. 13 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Game Pass subscribers will receive full access on day one, while PlayStation Plus members can try the game for 90 minutes at no cost. The trial allows progression to be saved and carried over if the full game is purchased later, ensuring continuity for players. The pricing is set at $39.99 across all platforms, positioning it as a mid-tier release in a crowded fall season.

Publisher Lyrical Games emphasized affordability to compete with other major releases this season, stating the game aims to match full-priced titles despite its lower cost. Digital pre-orders are not available, removing any paywalled content and ensuring all players access the game simultaneously. Physical editions will include a disc, with Xbox players benefiting from Play Anywhere, which grants a digital license for cross-platform play on PC and consoles.

The game is designed to take approximately 20 hours to complete, providing a substantial experience for its price point. The free trial on PlayStation Plus offers a meaningful portion of the game, allowing players to evaluate its mechanics and narrative before committing. Valor Mortis joins a competitive fall lineup, with its launch strategy focusing on accessibility and value for both new and returning players.
