GTA 6 has turned October into a new release bloodbath, but AA first-person soulslike Valor Mortis is hellbent on entering the fray
Going with a $40 price point will make it an "and game".
In October, a plethora of highly anticipated releases are flooding the market, with Grand Theft Auto 6 stealing the spotlight. This has created a competitive environment for publishers, leading to a scarcity of new IPs entering the scene. However, Valor Mortis, a first-person soulslike game by the creators of the Ghostrunner series, aims to carve out its own space in the crowded October release calendar.
Scheduled for October 13, Valor Mortis has already garnered positive reception from a recent demo, particularly for its impressive melee combat mechanics. Despite the daunting competition, Valor Mortis' publisher, Lyrical Games, remains confident in the game's potential. CEO Blake Rochkind stated that their primary goal is to offer players an enjoyable experience without compromising the price point, pricing Valor Mortis at $40 to provide a balanced option among the blockbuster games.
This strategy acknowledges the challenges faced by new releases in the current market while emphasizing the importance of making their game accessible alongside other popular titles.
