Ubisoft’s upcoming melee action game, For Honor, looks to be shaping up nicely ahead of its release date in February 2017.
In the latest For Honor gameplay videos, we take a look at two of the missions in story mode: Sabotage and Raiding the Raiders.
In Sabotage, you play as the knight-assassin class and fight your way into an encampment, whereas in the Raiding the Raiders mode you play as a viking leading your group of vikings against another faction.
The following footage was taken from a For Honor preview event that PlayStation Universe was invited to.
The For Honor beta date is set for January next year, and you can sign up now for the beta on the official site.
Ubisoft says that “Players will be able to step onto the war-torn lands of Ashfeld, Valkenheim and Myre with brand new multiplayer experiences that showcase the age old war between Vikings, Samurai and Knights.”
The publisher also spoke about a new metagame called Faction War, which is a “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.”
