In a [Steam news post on October 9, 2026](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2828710/view/693148560867199679), **One More Level** — the studio behind *Ghostrunner* — published the release-times map for its first-person soulslike: **Tuesday, October 13, at 10:00 a.m. PDT**. That is **14:00 in Argentina (ART)** and 17:00 UTC. The game is published by **Lyrical Games**, and its [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2828710/Valor_Mortis/) casts the player as a former soldier of Napoleon's army, risen from death. One More Level credits feedback from a public playtest held a year ago with shaping the combat, the level design and the boss fights. ## What time Valor Mortis unlocks The map lists these times, with Steam, PS5 and Xbox marks on it: - **October 13:** Los Angeles 10:00 PDT · New York 13:00 EDT · São Paulo 14:00 BRT (the same as Buenos Aires, 14:00 ART) · London 18:00 BST · Paris and Kraków 19:00 CEST · Athens 20:00 EEST - **October 14:** Beijing 01:00 CST · Seoul 02:00 KST · Sydney 04:00 AEDT The [PlayStation listing](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/valor-mortis/) dates the PS5 version October 13, names Lyrical Games as publisher and marks it **PS5 Pro Enhanced**. Japan is the exception on PlayStation. On October 8, the [official Valor Mortis account wrote on X](https://x.com/ValorMortis/status/2108311087334686967) that “due to pending regional classification ratings, Valor Mortis is currently unavailable on PlayStation in Japan,” adding that players there “can still obtain the game via Steam and XBOX” and that the team is “actively addressing the situation.” It gave no new date. ## Day one on Game Pass [Xbox Wire's October 7 roundup](https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/10/07/xbox-game-pass-october-2026-wave-1/) lists *Valor Mortis* on **Game Pass Ultimate** and **PC Game Pass** from **October 13**, "available on day one," on Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, Handheld and PC. Xbox Wire gives the date but no hour. ## After launch: New Game+, French voice-over, a 2027 story DLC The same post sketches the roadmap. "Later this year, we'll add a New Game+ mode where you'll take your progression and loot after completing the campaign once, but for a second, more challenging attempt," One More Level writes, promising "stronger enemies, more difficulty and new surprises." No date beyond *later this year*. The studio also wants a fully voiced **French** version. It "wasn't something we could complete before launch but we definitely want to add it later on." That is an intent, with no date attached. The **Deluxe Edition**, per the image in the post, bundles the base game, the La Grande Armée Weapon Skin Pack (Pistol, Blunderbuss, Musket, Claymore, Rapier, Sabre), three upcoming weapon skin packs and a **Major Story DLC "arriving in 2027"**, which One More Level describes as "a complete side story, separate from the main campaign." The voice cast is set too: in an [October 8 Steam post](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2828710/view/693148560867198819), the studio confirms **Vincent Cassel** as Napoleon Bonaparte and **Jennifer English** as The Shrike. What to watch on Tuesday: whether all three storefronts flip at 14:00 ART as the map says, when PS5 in Japan clears its rating, and when the New Game+ update gets a date. ## Questions and answers **What time does Valor Mortis come out?** One More Level's release-times map lists Valor Mortis for October 13, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. PDT, which is 13:00 EDT, 14:00 in Argentina and Brazil, 18:00 BST and 19:00 CEST.
