Carve a path of destruction through the battlefield fighting for guts, glory, and survival in For Honor, a new melee action game developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios.

Enter the chaos of a raging war as a knight, Viking, or samurai, three of the greatest warrior legacies. For Honor is a fast-paced and immersive experience, mixing skill with visceral, never-before-seen melee combat.

The Art of Battle, the game's innovative control system, puts you in total control of your heroes, each with distinct skills and weapons, as you annihilate all soldiers, archers, and opposing heroes who stand in your way on an intense, believable battleground.

For Honor offers an engaging campaign and thrilling multiplayer. Enjoy the full experience with friends online, in split-screen two-player co-op, or solo against AI.

Ubisoft announced that For Honor will offer a free weekend simultaneously across all platforms starting August 10. All players will have full access to the game’s content for the duration of the free weekend, including five intense multiplayer modes, a campaign playable solo or with a friend in online co-op, as well as the entire roster of diverse heroes and unique heroes that have been updated over six months of gameplay changes.

New players will be able to pre-load the game starting August 7 at 9PM PDT on PlayStation 4 and Uplay. Those looking to extend their experience on the battlefield can purchase For Honor for 50-percent off across all versions of the game between August 10 and August 20 for consoles and August 10 to August 14 for PC. Players who purchase For Honor during the free weekend will see all their progress carry over. For all details on the For Honor free weekend, please visit here.

The free weekend will lead into the launch of “Grudge & Glory”, For Honor’s third season and biggest update to date. Season Three starts on August 15 across all platforms and will bring new heroes, new maps, ranked play and a wealth of gameplay updates. All maps, ranked play and gameplay updates will be free for all players at the start of the season. The new heroes, the proud Highlander and the fearless Gladiator, will be available free for Season Pass holders on August 15, while all other players will be able to unlock them in-game on August 22 for 15,000 Steel.

This weekend will also see the finals of the For Honor Hero Series, the first international For Honor tournament organized in partnership with ESL. For Honor fans and newcomers looking to get a glimpse at top-tier competitive play can tune into the For Honor Season 3 Live Event: Grudge & Glory Reveal on For Honor's Twitch channel on August 12 starting 11AM PDT to watch the best international players compete in a fierce 1v1 Duel tournament.
