For Honor was teased in last year’s E3 and it got a large following due to its fantastic set pieces, and for giving players the chance to play as their favorite medieval warrior. With Vikings, European Knights, and Samurais, who could argue? Ubisoft has continued the tease in E3 2016 while also giving a release date stamped on February 14, 2017. This in turn saves you the time to think about what your significant someone could give you on that special day. Simply say, “For Honor” then leave him/her alone for the remainder of the date. That or you could buy two for increased intimacy.
Important: The game will have a singleplayer campaign.
New details surrounding For Honor’s story-driven campaign were also revealed. For Honor, mixing skill with visceral, melee combat through its innovative Art of Battle, will be available on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and Windows PC, at launch.
Playable in solo and two-player co-op, online and split-screen, For Honor’s full-fledged story campaign is a tale of warriors in which players will live from the inside a crucial moment in the war amongst Knights, Vikings and Samurai. A thousand years after a huge cataclysm destroyed their world, the Knights, the Vikings and the Samurai have united their scattered forces and what was a rampant conflict is about to turn into a total open war. Embodying the greatest warriors in each faction, players will need all their wits and skill to ensure the survival of their people and foil the plans of Apollyon, the merciless and bloodthirsty leader of the Blackstone Legions. Storming castles and fortresses, turning the tide of massive battles and confronting deadly bosses in intense duels, players will become Heroes of legend, symbols and models for their warrior legacies.
