For Honor | Season Three
SYDNEY, Australia — August 17, 2017 —Ubisoft® has
announced that For Honor™ Season Three, “Grudge & Glory” is now available
on all platforms. “Grudge & Glory” will bring the largest update to For
Honor to date and includes two additional heroes, two extra maps, ranked play,
new customization items for all heroes and gameplay updates. Maps and ranked
play will be free for all players at the start of Season Three. Available
tomorrow for season pass holders, the new heroes, the proud Highlander and the
deadly Gladiator, will be available for all players on August 22 for 15,000
Steel each.
With the launch of Season Three, there has never been a better time to
step onto the battlefield. Season Three’s offerings include:
- Highlander (Viking Hybrid): Highlanders are patient heroes capable of
switching between two different fighting forms. Their defensive form
allows for counter-attacking and trading blows, while their offensive form
empowers them to unleash their deadliest attacks at the expense of being
able to block. Wielding the heaviest and longest sword in the game, the
Highlander’s massive claymore gives them a deadly combination of strength
and range.
- Gladiator (Knight Assassin): Wielding a trident and shield, Gladiators have
made a living off of killing for sport, and now bring their ruthlessness
and skill to war. Equipped with little armor, they can punch their
opponents to create separation to set up attacks and stuns. Their larger
stamina meter and reduced cool down times make them extremely agile and
dangerous opponents.
- New Maps: Sentinel (view preview) and
Viking Village (view
preview) join the selection of multiplayer maps. Each map holds unique
and deadly hazards never before seen in For Honor adding a new dynamic to
multiplayer matches. Viking Village’s massive rolling barrel is a dynamic
hazard able to squash heroes, while a ballista gives players the
opportunity to take down even the mightiest heroes from above on Sentinel.
- New Gear and Expanded Gear Rarity: A new level of gear rarity, legendary gear,
will increase the maximum gear score from 144 to 180. Additionally, the
max reputation for all heroes will increase from 30 to 40. New gear will
also be added for all heroes, giving players more customization options.
- Duel Ranked Tournament: The introduction of the 1v1 duel tournament
feature will bring competitive ranked play to For Honor for all platforms.
As players compete in tournaments, they will rise up the league rankings
based on their performance and will receive in-game rewards.
For Honor Season Three “Grudge & Glory” represents the beginning of
large game-changing updates currently planned in the development schedule.
Additional updates include a season launching in November to introduce new
features, game modes and updates as well as plans to implement dedicated
servers to the game further down the road.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with other Ubisoft
studios,* For Honor offers an engaging campaign and thrilling multiplayer
modes. Players embody warriors of the three Great Factions – the bold Knights,
the brutal Vikings and the deadly Samurai – fighting to the death on intense
and believable melee battlefields. The Art of Battle, the game’s innovative
combat system that puts players in total control of their warriors, allows them
to utilize the unique skills and combat style of each hero to vanquish all
enemies who stand in their way.
