Valor Mortis is now officially making a profit for developer One More Level and publisher Lyrical Games, as revealed by the latter on social media. It took just one week on the market for it to break even, meaning all the costs of the game's development have been recouped. Now, henceforth, Valor Mortis is turning a profit.

Official sales numbers have not been shared yet, but anecdotally, I've seen far more chatter and discussion surrounding Valor Mortis compared to the two Ghostrunner games, which One More Level did previously.

"We are beyond proud to announce that Valor Mortis has officially reached a break-even point in just 7 days," it said on social media. "This incredible milestone wouldn't be possible without YOU. Thank you for answering the Emperor's call and believing in our vision!"

It's also worth noting the developer purposefully didn't allow people to pre-order the game ahead of launch. It wanted the final product to do the talking and let players judge whether it was worth the $40 price point or not. Clearly, a lot of people think it was.

We'd agree with that sentiment, as our 8/10-rated Valor Mortis PS5 review said: "With strong combat and impressive level design, its well worth your time and investment, especially considering the reduced price point."

One More Level has confirmed a Valor Mortis expansion will arrive at some point in 2027, so there's more to come from this great new IP. Are you enjoying what you've played? Let us know in the comments below.
