Coinciding with the closed beta, Ubisoft will launch War of the Factions, a pre-launch limited time event. War of the Factions will track all multiplayer activity across all platforms in the closed beta. Rewards will be given to warriors participating in the beta as well as the winning faction.
Today, Ubisoft showcased two new Heavy heroes, the Samurai Shugoki and the Viking Warlord, and a new Assassin, the Knight Peacekeeper, which offer even more depth to the competitive multiplayer experience:
Ubisoft also debuted its brand-new metagame, Faction War, the persistent cross-platform conflict between the Knights, Vikings and Samurai. Players begin by pledging their sword to the faction of their choice. Every multiplayer battle in For Honor impacts the world as players earn War Assets based on their personal performance in matches. These War Assets can be deployed and spent helping players conquer and defend territories. Every match makes a difference as all players contribute to the glory of their faction during each 10-week competitive multiplayer season. Once the season ends, all For Honor players will receive rewards based on the rank of their faction. At the end of each season the Faction War resets and resumes after an off-season period.
Players can get a taste of what For Honor has to offer by registering for the Beta at www.forhonorgame.com/war. For Honor will be available on February 14th for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
