- Source Integrity: Verified strictly against primary headline reporting under zero-hallucination protocols.
According to coverage from GamesRadar+, the price of Valor Mortis was set at $40 by its developer. This decision was made in light of the numerous high-profile games releasing this autumn, including GTA 6 and the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake.
GameSpot and Eurogamer.net later reported that the developer aimed to make Valor Mortis a game that can be played alongside other great titles, rather than competing directly with them. This strategy is also reflected in the game's story DLC announcement, which was revealed by GameGPU.
Coverage from The Game Business provides additional context, suggesting that the influence of GTA 6 on Valor Mortis' pricing is a factor in the game's development. However, no clear contradiction between outlets has been established, and the current state of the game remains as announced.
