What happened
One More Level, the Polish studio behind the Ghostrunner duology, has set the price of Valor Mortis at $39.99. In several reports, that price is also rounded to $40 or €40. The game is due out on October 13, 2026 and is described as a first-person soulslike set during the Napoleonic era.
The developer says the pricing level has been discussed internally for some time. According to the explanation, Valor Mortis has a story of around 20 hours and can compete with many full-price titles in terms of quality, polish, and length. One More Level also links the lower price to the crowded fall 2026 release window, where players will have plenty of major releases to choose from.
Alongside the standard edition, there will be a Deluxe Edition priced at $60 / €60. It includes the base game, four weapon skin packs, and a Major Story DLC planned for 2027. In a tweet from the official account, day-one availability via Xbox Game Pass was also mentioned, but that has not been separately confirmed in the sources provided.

Background
Valor Mortis comes from One More Level, best known for Ghostrunner. The game is presented in the sources as a first-person soulslike with a supernatural take on the Napoleonic Wars. That sets it apart from many other soulslike games, which are more often rooted in fantasy or medieval settings.
The pricing details also show that the studio is planning multiple editions. The standard version costs $39.99 / €40, while the Deluxe Edition is priced at $60 / €60 and includes extra cosmetic content plus a story expansion in 2027. The sources do not yet provide full clarity on a UK price or the exact contents of that expansion.
