From Ghostrunner to Valor Mortis
Confirmed: Epic Games interviews the studio about its earlier Deadlings and God's Trigger, then Ghostrunner and Ghostrunner 2. It describes the Ghostrunner games as UE4 projects and Valor Mortis as a UE5 first-person Soulslike. The shared development history explains the interest in movement and first-person action.
The Valor Mortis reveal announcement says the studio wanted to take its Ghostrunner experience in a new direction through melee combat, firearms, supernatural powers and character progression. See the gameplay comparison for the practical differences.
Engine and level design
Confirmed: the Epic interview discusses Nanite, Lumen and Niagara in historically inspired environments. The 27 March developer update explains that World Partition supports larger environments even though Valor Mortis is not open world; it also describes Niagara effects and Nanite detail.
