For Honor outlines third year of updates

FOR HONOR™

For Honor is still trucking along - Ubisoft just announced a raft of updates coming to the melee combat game during its third year.

Four seasonal updates themed around the Year of the Harbinger are planned. These updates include new heroes, new maps, gameplay balance updates as well as seasonal in-game events.

This all kicks off 31st January 2019 with the new season, Vortiger. This adds a new Knight hero to the game as well as a new map. Here's how the roadmap looks:

Two culinary emotes are on sale for 7000 Steel. Salt your dish, quench your thirst, and endear yourself to your fellow players! This sale ends on December 6th.

Carousel of Death is here until December 5th, so hop on while you can! Make sure all opponents are dead at the same time to achieve victory in this 4v4 mode. Spawn times will get longer the more someone is killed, so be on top of your game!

As an additional incentive, here are the Steel rewards for playing Carousel of Death. Beat the other factions to earn the most! This Order will end on the 3rd.

1st Place: 2500 Steel
2nd Place: 1500 Steel
3rd Place: 1000 Steel

For Honor - New Content of the Week (November 17)

FOR HONOR™ - [UBI]Insulin

Rock-paper-scissors. Roshambo. Jan-ken. The game has many names. Since ancient times, people have used this competition of true skill to determine who's buying lunch that day. Now this sport of kings comes to For Honor in the form of a free roam emote for all heroes.

The following moves are considered unblockable and completely guaranteed in these situations:

Rock if the defender uses scissors
Scissors if the defender uses paper
Paper if the defender uses rock

The Solaris, Dawn Sky, and Zodia Warrior Mythic Outfits are discounted to 10,000 Steel until November 22nd!

Dance of Death is back until the 21st! Make sure both of your opponents are dead at the same time in order to win the match.

Our Special Slayer Challenge rewards the faction with the most Takedowns in Dance of Death! It will last until November 20th.

Bonfires burning bright, pumpkin faces in the night; it's time for the Return of the Otherworld!

The blood moon has risen and exclusive Halloween-themed loot is there for the taking until November 8th! The Selenelion ornament, the Moonlight Sonata outfit, effect, emote, and execution, and 1 new weapon for each hero all have a chance to drop at the end of all matches.

Four Mask Outfits (one for each faction) are available for the discounted price of 15,000 Steel. They will still be available after the completion of the event for 20,000 Steel!

There will be four special community Orders in quick succession, each with similar rewards for different tasks. The Warrior Challenge runs until 12:00PM UTC on October 28th.

From October 28th to November 1, players will be able to participate in the Executioner Challenge, which will reward the faction that performs the most executions in Endless March. Two more Orders are on their way next week as well:
1st Place: 1000 Steel + 2 Crates
2nd Place: 500 Steel + 1 Crate
3rd Place: 500 Steel

Look who's emerging from the grave to haunt us once more! Last year's Mask Outfits are available for 10,000 Steel through the duration of this year's event. The Howl at the Moon emote has also returned at the same price!

For Honor expands into China with Marching Fire, out now

FOR HONOR™ - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Dominic Tarason)

Ubisoft’s For Honor once looked like a write-off, but the competitive sword-o-brawler has somehow pulled itself together. Today’s expansion – Marching Fire – adds a bundle of new content to the game, a lot of it paid, but some major upgrades free for everyone. All players (regardless of version owned) will get access to a castle siege playmode and a slew of graphical improvements, but a new solo/co-op mode and four new Chinese-themed characters remain the domain of people who put down cash. Below, a launch trailer, featuring stabs, stabs, stabs and the occasional thwack.

For Honor's Marching Fire expansion includes 'graphical enhancements' to lighting, weather, and textures

FOR HONOR™

For Honor's upcoming Marching Fire expansion will include a huge graphical overhaul.

The "Graphical Enhancements Showcase" segment of a recent livestream illustrates exactly what's been improved, which includes a major update to global illumination, updated sky tech, plus new tone mapping and colour grading, too.

Ubisoft - which started the upgrading process just after the multiplayer brawler was released - has also reworked all textures in the game.

For Honor s new Marching Fire expansion trailer shows off new heroes, graphical upgrades, plenty of burning

FOR HONOR™ - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Jay Castello)

Ubisoft s melee-dramatic, vaguely historically inspired For Honor has always been a speculative thing, mashing together unrelated factions for the fun of it. With the pending release of the Marching Fire expansion, they re taking it one step further and asking: what if knights vs. samurai vs. Vikings, but now everything is burning? See for yourself below:
