THE CRUNCH

Valor Mortis will launch at $40, a price point the developer has explicitly chosen to sit alongside a crowded slate of releases this autumn. The studio explained that the figure reflects the competitive landscape rather than a standard pricing model.

The game is priced at $40 in the US and €40 in Europe, which is notably cheaper than many other titles hitting shelves around the same time. The developer characterised the season as 'stacked' and suggested the price was set to make the game an attractive option for players choosing between many high-profile releases.

The studio has asked for clarification on the UK pricing, which has not yet been confirmed. This suggests the European price might be a temporary placeholder or subject to local tax adjustments.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

The studio will need to confirm the UK price before launch.
