The highly anticipated gaming season is upon us, but it seems that September is becoming a bit too crowded for comfort. With numerous big-name titles vying for attention, some developers are choosing to delay their releases to avoid getting lost in the noise. One such developer is One More Level, the studio behind the promising Napoleonic first-person Soulslike Valor Mortis, which has now been pushed back to October.

This move is likely a strategic one, as the gaming landscape in September is set to be dominated by the likes of GTA 6, making it challenging for smaller titles to gain traction. By delaying the release of Valor Mortis, One More Level is giving itself a better chance to shine in a less crowded market.
