French actor Vincent Cassel voices Napoleon Bonaparte in Valor Mortis, a first-person action soulslike from One More Level, the studio behind Ghostrunner. The game’s official announcement scheduled its launch for October 13, 2026; as of October 12, that date is still upcoming.
What role does Vincent Cassel play?
One More Level’s official announcement is titled “Vincent Cassel is Napoleon Bonaparte” and confirms Cassel voices Napoleon in Valor Mortis. The accompanying interview discusses Cassel’s maternal family connection to Corsica and his recollection that relatives called Napoleon “a cousin of the family.” That is presented as Cassel’s personal account, not independently verified genealogy. The announcement does not provide a verified verbatim quote from him.

The available announcement confirms his casting but does not say whether he recorded Napoleon’s dialogue in French as well as English. It therefore does not establish that Cassel voices the character in a French-language track.
