Publisher Lyrical Games and developer One More Level announced a release date for Valor Mortis, their Napoleonic era soulslike game.

Valor Mortis is set to launch sometime across Windows PC (Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on September 24th. A playable demo is available on Steam, too.

Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:

Set in a supernatural reimagining of 19th-century Europe, Valor Mortis casts players as William, a resurrected soldier of the Grande Armée who wields both Napoleonic-era weaponry and devastating supernatural powers. The Kraków-based studio, known for the critically acclaimed Ghostrunner series, brings the same mastery of first-person perspective to a Soulslike built around skill, stamina, and visceral, high-mobility combat.

The new trailer places the relationship between William and his Emperor, Napoleon, front and center. It marks Napoleon’s first appearance in the game, portrayed by Cassel, as he warns William of his newfound abilities and poses a question to players: what would you sacrifice for power?

Features

• A Grand Napoleonic Narrative: Napoleon’s conquest has unleashed something far more horrifying than war. Play as William, a resurrected soldier of the Grande Armée guided by Napoleon’s disembodied voice, as you traverse ravaged battlefields, sprawling mountains, and European-inspired cities consumed by a grotesque, continent-wide plague — the same corruption that pulses through William’s veins and gave him life.
• First-Person Soulslike Combat: Challenging, stamina-and-skill-based combat designed to feel threatening and immersive, drawing on One More Level’s expertise in first-person perspective. Every death is a stepping stone to mastery as you perfect your ability to parry blows, dash out of harm’s way, and deliver ravaging, visceral finishers.
• Dual-Wielding and Supernatural Powers: Master fluid combat by weaving together Napoleonic-era weaponry, such as rapiers and flintlock pistols, while also utilizing William’s devastating supernatural abilities.
• Metroidvania-Style Exploration: Use William’s newfound mobility to outrun and flank Napoleon’s plague-ridden Eternal Guard. Progress carefully, uncover environmental secrets, and survive the rotting remnants of an endless war.
• AAA Audiovisual Quality: A disturbing aesthetic built on theatrical lighting and mature, grim themes, with an original score co-composed by Arkadiusz Reikowski, known for his work on Silent Hill 2 Remake, The Medium, and Layers of Fear 1 and 2, alongside in-house composer Oskar Bała.
