Launching simultaneously across PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Now, those excited to hear that For Honor is getting dedicated servers will have to wait a little longer, as this update will only include content. And by only, we're under-selling it a the 'Grudge & Glory' update is the biggest yet for the game as it includes new heroes, maps, gear, ranked play and several gameplay updates.
The new hereos, which can be seen in the trailer below, are:
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.
The two new heroes will be free for all Season Pass owners with eveyone else given the option to purchase them with in-game Steel on August 22. The update also includes two new maps, Sentinel and Viking Village. And the introduction of competitive play.
For Honor is currently available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Our review from earlier this year praised its melee combat.
