When & how to join Valor Mortis public playtest?

Mark your calendars for Valor Mortis public playtest, which is all set to start from October 6 to 13, 2025, exclusively on Steam.

If you want to join and try the playtest, you have to sign up on the official website. This will be a pre-alpha build, so you might expect some raw, unpolished gameplay with some bugs. Hopefully, the feedback provided by the players will help the developers to make the game even more better.

What can fans expect?

It is expected that the fans will be able to play the full opening chapter, which will also include a first major boss fight, mini-boss, level 10 character progression and some initial upgrade for free.

Drawing on Ghostrunner’s roots, the FPS perspective heightens the tension, making every dodge, strike, and resurrection seem visceral.

Aside from games, One More Level and publisher Lyrical Games will be organizing community contests during the event.

Participate in speedrun challenges, fan art submissions, or screenshot competitions through their Discord server for a chance at launch-day prize bundles. It’s an excellent approach to interact with other gamers and impact progress.

Final Thoughts

This is a very good concept to provide a souls-type and dark setting game with a first-person perspective in Valor Mortis.

Plus, we have a Napoleonic-inspired world where enemies will also be inspired by that era. For now, the game is scheduled for 2026 release and this open playtest is a good chance to try out the game and get a feel of it.
