Valor Mortis has officially reached its break-even point just one week after release, with developer One More Level and publisher Lyrical Games confirming the first-person Soulslike is now generating profit.
The newly released Valor Mortis has achieved an important commercial milestone, recovering its development costs within just seven days of launching.
Publisher Lyrical Games confirmed the achievement on social media, thanking players for supporting the ambitious new IP.
The announcement marks a successful launch for One More Level, the studio previously responsible for the Ghostrunner series.
Valor Mortis Recovers Development Costs in One Week
According to Push Square, the publisher confirmed that Valor Mortis reached its break-even point in only seven days.
This means the game has generated enough revenue to recover its reported development investment.
While the milestone is significant, official sales figures have not yet been disclosed.
The achievement is particularly notable because One More Level deliberately avoided offering pre-orders, allowing players to evaluate the finished game before purchasing it.
Valor Mortis launched at $39.99, positioning itself below the typical $70 price of major AAA releases.
A Successful New IP From the Ghostrunner Developers
Valor Mortis combines challenging first-person combat with Soulslike mechanics, offering a different experience from One More Level’s fast-paced Ghostrunner games.
The title has attracted attention for its combat system, level design and distinctive setting.
Its early financial performance suggests that the new franchise has found an audience despite launching without an established series behind it.
Valor Mortis Expansion Confirmed for 2027
The success comes as One More Level prepares additional content for the game.
The developer has already confirmed that a Valor Mortis expansion is planned for 2027, although further details about its content and release date have not been announced.
With development costs reportedly recovered in its first week, Valor Mortis has established a promising foundation for future updates and potential franchise growth.
