PC box and the road that got here
Both PC boxes ask for Windows 10 or 11, 16 GB of RAM, DirectX 12, and 60 GB on an SSD. The minimum processor is a Ryzen 5 3600 or a Core i5-10600K, with an RX 5600 XT or a GTX 1660 Ti, aimed at 30 frames per second at 1080p on Low with upscaling.
The recommended processor is a Ryzen 7 5800X or a Core i5-13400, with an RX 6800 or an RTX 3070, aimed at 60 frames per second at 1440p on Medium with upscaling. Upscaling is part of both targets. A card that matches the name and skips the upscaler misses the target those boxes were built for.
Gamescom Opening Night Live in August 2025 was the public reveal. A playtest ran October 6 through October 13, 2025. The Steam demo landed on June 7, 2026. Store bundles group the game with Dishonored, No Rest for the Wicked, MOUSE: P.I. For Hire, and the Ghostrunner series. Those are neighboring purchases, not chapters inside this game.
No extra demo, downloadable content, or separate full-game package ships beside the launch build. The June 7 demo already shipped. One More Level is the developer. Lyrical Games and One More Level are the publishers. VALOR MORTIS is a trademark of One More Level S.A.
After you install, William Dowsett is the soldier, James Alexander speaks him, and the lantern is where Catalysts should be spent before a boss. Today's row is the launch. Upcoming rows are New Game Plus and the Deluxe story download. They are not in the build you start this evening.
