We have exciting news about the final stages of development for Valor Mortis. We are just a few fortnights away from launch on October 13. Are you ready for the final assault on the fields of the Napoleonic Wars?
As of this week, Valor Mortis has gone Gold! This means that the version of the game for physical discs is ready for printing. While this doesn’t directly relate to Steam and PC, it means that we are truly in the final stage of development. Now, we are focused on final polishing. Improving the details that will ensure that the game is absolutely the best it can be at launch.
Today is exactly one year from when we revealed Valor Mortis at gamescom Opening Night Live. It was incredible to see how many people shared our passion for the Napoleonic Wars and were intrigued by a first-person Soulslike game. Since then, hundreds of thousands of players have played Valor Mortis in the Playtest and Demo versions.
Our next big step is a new trailer at gamescom on Aug 25. Tune in to Opening Night Live at 19:30 CET // 1:30pm EDT for a trailer that’s unlike any of our previous ones.
If you are coming to gamescom in-person, we’d love to meet you! We are partnering with AMD to show Valor Mortis to even more players. Several members of our dev team will be there in Köln.
Since the beginning, we’ve known that making a first-person Soulslike game would not be easy. There’s a reason why no one has tried to build one like this before. Environmental awareness, field of view, sense of depth perception. These are all challenges for Soulslike gameplay in the first-person perspective.
That’s why we have been asking for your feedback throughout our development cycle. We have considered all of your comments very seriously. From the Playtest in October and the Demo this past summer. Our Game Director and Lead Designer discussed your feedback about our Demo version in this video.
