Valor Mortis price $39.99, Deluxe $59.99 with story DLC, no pre-orders, physical disc at launch.
Valor Mortis Price & Editions: Standard vs Deluxe ($39.99)
Valor Mortis costs $39.99 for the Standard Edition and $59.99 for the Deluxe Edition, as announced on the official Valor Mortis X account and reported by Beebom on September 17, 2026. There are no digital pre-orders — the developers want players to buy on day one — but physical editions for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are listed at major retailers. As of 2026-10-10, the game is still three days from its store-listed release date of October 13, 2026, so treat everything below as pre-release information confirmed so far.
Standard vs Deluxe: Prices and Contents
Only two editions have been officially announced. The table below reflects what One More Level has confirmed through its official channels as of 2026-10-10.
| Edition | Price | Contents | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $39.99 | Base game (about a 20-hour campaign, per the official announcement) | Most players; anyone trying the game first |
| Deluxe | $59.99 | Base game + 4 weapon skin packs + Major Story DLC arriving in 2027 | Players who want the future story expansion up front |
The Deluxe Edition bundles the base game with cosmetic weapon skins and a Major Story DLC expansion arriving in 2027, according to the official One More Level Facebook post and the official X announcement (Beebom's summary of the pricing reveal). The skin packs cover the pistol, musket, claymore, rapier, and sabre. Regional pricing reported alongside the announcement lists Deluxe at $59.99 / €59.99 / 199.99zl, so non-US storefronts should show their local equivalents at launch.
Official source: Valor Mortis on Steam lists the release date as Oct 13, 2026, with One More Level as developer and Lyrical Games plus One More Level as publishers.
Note that when Beebom first covered the announcement, the prices had not yet appeared on digital storefronts — the numbers came straight from the developers on social media. If you check Steam, the PlayStation Store, or the Xbox Store and see different regional figures, the store page is the final word for your region.
Is There a Pre-Order for Valor Mortis?
No — at least not digitally. The developers have confirmed that digital pre-orders will not be offered for Valor Mortis. Reporting on the official X announcement, Beebom noted that One More Level wants players to buy the game on day one based on its quality and performance rather than on blind trust, pointing to the roughly 20-hour campaign as evidence the $39.99 price stands up against full-priced titles.
As of 2026-10-10, you cannot pre-order the digital version on Steam, PS Store, or Xbox Store. Anyone claiming to sell you a digital pre-order key before October 13 should be treated with suspicion.
Physical editions are the exception. According to Polygon, while digital pre-orders are not available, players can pre-order physical editions. So if you want to secure a copy before launch day, the disc version at a retailer is currently your only pre-order path. For everything about when you can actually start playing, see Valor Mortis Release Date & Unlock Times.
Is There a Physical Disc Edition?
Yes. Physical editions of Valor Mortis exist for consoles, with retailer listings (including Amazon and Best Buy) carrying the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S disc-in-the-box versions. Coverage of the release describes physical pre-orders as available even while digital pre-orders are not offered.
A few things to know about the physical version, based on what has been confirmed so far:
- Platforms: physical copies are for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PC version is digital via Steam.
- Retail pricing can differ from digital: third-party trackers noted physical listings priced above the $39.99 digital tag (around $49.99 at some storefronts), so compare the shelf price against the digital price before you commit.
- Day-one access alternatives: if you would rather not pay at all up front, Valor Mortis launches day one on Xbox Game Pass, and PS Plus Premium members get a 90-minute timed trial — not the full game (details here). Details are on Is Valor Mortis on Game Pass Day One? and Is Valor Mortis on PS Plus? 90-Minute Trial Explained.
Because the game is not out yet, exact box contents and any retailer-exclusive bonuses have not been documented. This section will be updated once physical copies are in players' hands.
Is There a Napoleon Edition or Collector's Edition?
As of 2026-10-10, there is no official Napoleon Edition or collector's edition of Valor Mortis. The developers have announced exactly two tiers — Standard and Deluxe — and nothing else.
The confusion comes from a third-party "Napoleon Edition steelbook" product page (a steel case shell sold by an accessories maker), which is not an official game edition — it is a decorative case with no game content attached. Until One More Level or Lyrical Games announces otherwise, treat any "Napoleon Edition" listing that is not Standard or Deluxe as unofficial merchandise, not a version of the game. This page will be updated if a real collector's tier is ever announced.
Which Edition Should You Buy?
The $20 gap between Standard and Deluxe comes down to one question: do you want the 2027 story DLC sight unseen?
- Buy Standard ($39.99) if you want the full launch game and prefer to judge the DLC when details arrive. Nothing about the base campaign is gated behind Deluxe.
- Buy Deluxe ($59.99) if you already know you want the Major Story DLC plus the weapon skins, or you simply want to support the team. The bundle only saves you money if the standalone DLC ends up priced above the $20 difference — and that price has not been announced yet.
- Pay nothing yet if you have Xbox Game Pass (full game at launch) or PS Plus Premium (90-minute trial). Both let you try before deciding which edition, if any, to buy outright.
Game Pass day-one access and the PS Plus Premium timed trial both land on October 13 alongside the standard launch. Read the full verdict in Should You Buy Valor Mortis at Launch?.
One more consideration: the developers have also promised small free updates in the months after release, separate from the paid story DLC. Those come to every owner regardless of edition, so they should not factor into your Standard-versus-Deluxe decision.
