The new season, SUN DA, has officially launched today! If you purchased the Year 3 pass, you have one week of exclusive access to the new Hero, the Zhanhu – otherwise, the Zhanhu is unlockable via steel starting next week!
If you don’t have the Year 3 pass, you can enjoy other stuff that comes with the season, such as the Qiang Pass- the first Wu Lin map EVER, as well as hero balancing updates, new materials and an update for the world of For Fashion, and, of course, Spectator Mode beta!
Check out the full show below:
NEW HERO: ZHANHU
In case you missed last week’s Season Launch livestream, check out the full details of today’s patch here.
For the full video reveal, watch the livestream:
NEW MONTHLY ROADMAP
With a new season comes a new monthly roadmap! Here’s what November will look like on For Honor!
For Honor November Roadmap
As you can see, Spectator Mode Beta will launch next week! We’ll go over everything you need to know about Spectator Mode on next week’s Warrior’s Den, so be sure to tune in.
EVENT ORDER: SPECIAL EXECUTIONER CHALLENGE
From November 7th till the 14th, be the faction with the most Executions performed.
ARCADE WEEKLY QUEST: THE ZHANHU
A new quest awaits for the Zhanhu. Are you up for the challenge?
“Past. Present. Future. Life. Death.
There is no beginning or end; all is a cycle. One can master it to achieve eternal life.
Will you challenge us to become immortal?"
EVENT PLAYLIST: QIANG PASS (BREACH)
In the new map, Qiang Pass, breach the gates and kill their Commander, or guard the gates and protect yours!
This breach quest is available from November 7th till the 14th.
CONTENT OF THE WEEK
We got new white materials for all heroes this week, available for 10k Steel.
BATTLE OF THE MIKES
Finally the moment you've been waiting for! Who truly deserves the title of Big Mike?
Our Warrior's Den hosts wanted to try out the new heroes in an epic 1v1 matchup. The Zhanhu move gracefully across the arena, making dodges and parries a critical part of play. It seems Big Mike was no match despite dominating during practice session.
Klarissa had to step in, and while it was an extremely close match-up, she ultimately fell to Mike's blade.
Hit us up on Twitter if you want to see more Battle of the Mikes in the future!

SPOOKY COSMETICS
Get into the Halloween spirit as soon as you boot up the game with an all new themed background! With bats flying about and an old school VHS effect, it’s the perfect compliment for our new themed soldiers: Vampires, Onis, and Werewolves!
New Soldiers: Vampire, Oni and Werewolf
And when you log in to play during the event, you’ll also be greeted with these custom themed emblem outlines for free.
The treats don’t stop there! For a limited time, we have a Fangs of the Otherworld bundle available for 45,000 steel.
Save big with this Spooky Bundle
This bundle contains a host of fangtastic cosmetic effects, including:
Diabolical new executions (according to the hero's faction)
Illustrious outfits (Ghoulish Fate & Lycan, available for every faction)
These goodies are only unlockable from Oct. 17th to Nov. 4th!
Battle Outfit: Apotropaic
Ornament: Apotropaic Charm
Outfit: Ghoulish Fate
Outfit: Lycan
You can also pick up each one separately instead of opting for the bundle, purchasable in-game with steel.
NEW WEAPONS
Each faction has new weapons themed for the event. The Samurai sword, for example, has demons engraved on the handle.
The new weapons can be looted during the event. For a detailed look at each weapon, check out this part of the Livestream:
ENDLESS MARCH MAP
We worked and improved on last year’s version…then lit it on fire!
Green flaming pumpkin heads can be found throughout, as well as a huge, ominous green vortex in the sky. But don’t worry! Green fire is magical (of course), and won’t harm you if you touch it. Just be careful when crossing the bridge, as the red flames can still damage you.
SPECIAL GAME MODE: SPOOKY SLASHERS
Spooky Slashers is a variation on Dominion mode, but with huge buffs to minions. They got a big damage boost and they’re also much harder to kill, because what’s spookier than a nigh unstoppable minion?
They’re also the main way to acquire points in Spooky Splashers! 5 points for each minion you slay.
How to Dominate Minions
Minions Are Deadlier than Ever...
And nigh unstoppable!
But capturing points will give you a defensive shield bonus...
And make you stronger than ever...
So you can slay minions and collect points!
Getting the shield is key, as it has 2 effects: first, you’ll reduce damage taken by minions; and second, you’ll increase your damage output against minions. So be sure to capture!
To win, get 1,000 points to Break and Kill the enemy.
Fangs of the Otherworld is available to play for a limited time only! Jump in to reap all these epic rewards:
If you have any questions, have any upcoming tournaments, or highlights you would like for us to shout out, please send all information to [email]forhonortournaments@ubisoft.com[/email]!
You can catch the full livestream to find out all the details on Fangs of the Otherworld and this week’s other updates.
Also – don’t forget to check out our next livestream, taking place ON HALLOWEEN, which will be our big stream to reveal all of the glorious details about Y3S4!
Starting today, Fangs of the Otherworld, For Honor’s limited-time Halloween event, is available to all players. The event features a fang-tastic new game mode, spooky Halloween-themed loot, and even more ghastly goods. Fangs of the Otherworld comes to an end on November 1, so don’t hesitate to jump in if you want in on the most hair-raising event of the year.
The new mode, Spooky Slashers, is a variation on Dominion mode. Here, players capture zones to gain special boosts, which they can use to slay the frightening demons lurking throughout the map. Players will need to keep their wits about them, as danger lurks around every corner, and dying means losing any boosts.
Players can earn Halloween-themed loot through random drops at the end of all matches until the event ends. Loot takes the form of themed Battle Outfits, terrifying effects, and haunting weapons. Additionally, players can purchase yikes-inducing executions and jack-o’-lantern inspired effects. The Apotropaic outfit, as well as two new chilling illustrious outfits, are available for all Heroes. All event-themed loot can be unlocked for each Hero by purchasing their corresponding Fangs of the Otherworld item bundle until November 4.
Refer friends to join For Honor on PC and earn some rewards! This includes 1 month of Champion Status, 10,000 Steel and more! Invites end on November 13th, so don’t miss out!

GAME UPDATES
Color Palette Issue
Since the mid-season update with Patch 2.13.0, we’ve been reading and listening to your feedback about the Team Color swatch assignment. Originally, we had made these changes as we identified bugs in the color assignation of some palettes. We wanted to fix color assignation to give our outfits their intended looks.
However, we understand that you prefer keeping the previous color assignation. With that in mind, we are reverting the changes. We will continue exploring possible options to improve our team identification.
Thank you for your understanding about this during the last couple of days!
