One More Level, the studio behind the Ghostrunner duology, and Lyrical Games have announced public testing dates for their new first-person action RPG, Valor Mortis.
As a reminder, Valor Mortis playtesting was originally promised for late September, but will actually take place from October 6th to 13th. Access will be granted to those who applied through the official website starting on the 6th, and through the game’s Steam page starting on the 8th.
Valor Mortis takes place in an alternate 19th-century Europe, warped by endless war. Players assume the role of William, a soldier of Napoleon’s Grande Armée who died on the battlefield and was resurrected thanks to nephtoglobin.
Nephtoglobin grants William not only a second life but also superpowers: like in BioShock, the hero can equip magical abilities in his left hand. Otherwise, Valor Mortis is a first-person version of Dark Souls.
Unlike the pre-alpha version shown at Gamescom 2025 and PAX West 2025, the new test build will support 15 languages.
