Valor Mortis delayed to October 13 after packed September

Valor Mortis has moved from September to October 13, and the reason is almost refreshingly honest: September is absolutely stacked. One More Level said it wants to give the game, and players’ wallets, room to breathe. That is probably wise.

The first-person Soulslike set in a twisted Napoleonic nightmare has a strong hook, but September 2026 is turning into a battlefield of RPGs, action games and Switch 2 releases. A few extra weeks could help Valor Mortis avoid being buried under bigger names. The delay also gives the team time to implement demo feedback, which is exactly what you want from a combat-heavy game where feel matters.

Dying repeatedly should be your fault, not the calendar’s.
