For Honor – Choose Your Faction with GIGAMAX

For Honor – Choose Your Faction

One of the most highly anticipated releases of 2017, For Honor is ready to take center stage. Expected to release in February, the beta sign-up is available now. This “Art of Combat” fast-paced melee combat offers the player total control of the warrior chosen. For Honor caught our eye at E3 and the community gathered around to speculate if Ubisoft could pull it off.

Expected to released in about a month, more details have surfaced of what players can expect. Let’s take a dive inside to see what For Honor would have to offer.

A universe, divided into three factions fighting to reign supreme. Players will choose between Knight, Viking or the deadly Samurai and attempt to claw their way to victory. The game offers both a campaign and multiplayer mode where players use their chosen warrior to bring down the opposing force.

Reports suggest that For Honor is heavily focused on the multiplayer aspect of the game. For Honor was said to deliver a high-intensity and exhilarating multiplayer experience. Offering 12 maps and 4 different variations of each, Ubisoft has offered 60 unique online environments. They also announced that post-launch content will be added for free, which is always great news. In an attempt to keep the community on the same pace, they decided to level the playing field in regard to DLC. No word yet on whether For Honor will have paid DLC content, however it looks as though micro-transactions will be added. There seem’s to be suggestions of a “loot-box’ kind of system where players can find different skins, emotes, exc.

Campaign

When it comes to the single-player, an early access report stated that it didn’t stack up. Though gameplay was said to be just as exciting and interesting as multiplayer, the story was found to be lackluster.

Games that offer multiple factions such as For Honor, have a lot of potential for adding an enriched story filled with different perspectives. It’s always a shame when a developer doesn’t make full use of their content. This is not to say that there won’t be additional story DLC in the future, so there is hope.

Gigamax has applied for the Beta test for For Honor. We will update this page when we have our hands on our Beta code.
