Greetings, Warriors! As the Year of the Harbinger grows ever closer, we have begun a three week "For The Creed" crossover with our friends at Abstergo. From December 20th to January 10th, the Animus Entertainment Experience (powered by Abstergo's cloud-based Helix software) is coming to the world of For Honor.
Our generous partners at Abstergo have allowed us the privilege of bringing you limited-time content for all Heroes.
Relive the age-old conflict between the Assassins and the Templars with the "Champion of the People" and "Ruler of the Masses" Elite Outfits.
Channel the legends of Ancient Greece with the "Odyssey of the Misthios" Mask Outfit.
Seal the fate of your enemies with the "Requiescat in Pace" Execution.
Defy gravity itself with the "Leap of Faith" Free-Roam Emote.
This content can be looted (with the exception of the Emote, Execution, and Mask Outfit), but can also be purchased in Bundles. Please keep in mind that all content will be unobtainable after the end of the event - but will be yours forever if you obtain it now.
To celebrate this collaboration with Abstergo, we've introduced a special variation of Dominion, dubbed "Assassini e Templari." There is no fall damage, and all drop attacks during the event will be air assassinations.
When your team captures the zone closest to your enemies' spawn, a commander will emerge to counter your advance. These commanders are Ezio for the Assassins and Cesare for the Templars. They have huge health pools and sweeping AoE attacks, so defeating them will be no easy task - but their death will bring your team 300 points closer towards victory.
The Event Order for Assassini e Templari will provide the following rewards: 1st Place: 1000 Steel 2nd Place: 500 Steel 3rd Place: 500 Steel
For our Arcade players, a Weekly Quest will be provided each week of this event! Please try out the Abstergo Training Simulation and let us know what you think. Abstergo tells us that your feedback will be crucial for their investigations!
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.
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.
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.
