Following the success of Ghostrunner‘s first-person soulslike Valor Mortis at gamescom, the developers are excited to invite players worldwide to join the game’s first public playtest!
Players can now register at valormortis.firstlook.gg to try the initial public demo of Valor Mortis, available from October 6-13. If you missed them at gamescom or PAX West and want to play, head to their site now!
In addition to the playtest, One More Level and Lyrical Games are hosting community contests like speedrunning, fan art, and screenshot competitions, with participants eligible to win prize packs at launch. Details can be found in their Discord.
In Valor Mortis, players will embody William, a soldier of the Grande Armée brought back to life from his battlefield grave. William awakens from his death to a plague-ridden Europe, only to find his former allies corrupted into abominations by the Nephtoglobin, an unknown substance that grants him supernatural powers but has taken over his comrades. Navigating this world of scorn, William must master combat and channel his newfound ability in a 19th-century alternate history where war has corrupted the landscape, Napoleon’s Eternal Guard lurks around every corner, and unforgettable boss-fight encounters await players.
