Valor Mortis PS5

Rise from the dead and uncover the secrets of Napoleon’s cursed army

Valor Mortis for PS5 is a dark first-person action game with soulslike elements from the creators of Ghostrunner, set in an alternate version of 19th-century Europe. You are William, a soldier of Napoleon’s Grande Armée who fell on the battlefield and was brought back to life by a mysterious power. But the world you awaken to is consumed by a horrific plague, and the corruption pulsing through your veins also becomes the source of supernatural abilities. Explore ravaged battlefields, mountainous regions, and devastated cities, fight disfigured soldiers, and uncover a conspiracy tied to the epidemic and your own resurrection. Combine melee weapons and flintlock pistols with devastating powers, parry blows, evade attacks with swift dashes, and perform brutal finishers. Manage your stamina, study enemy behavior, and use new movement abilities to discover hidden routes and secrets. Here, every death becomes a lesson that brings you closer to victory.

The Standard Edition includes the base game with a single-player story campaign, first-person combat, a combination of melee weapons and firearms, supernatural abilities, and a system of parries, dashes, and finishers. World exploration incorporates metroidvania elements: new movement abilities help you unlock additional routes and discover secrets. The PS5 version supports vibration and adaptive trigger effects on the DualSense controller.
