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 the For Honor: Marching Fire PC Open Test will be taking place from September 6 to 10 exclusively on PC.

Players participating in the PC Open Test will be able to choose from all 22 heroes, including the four new Wu Lin fighters, and choose to do battle in Duel and Breach modes, with all three Breach maps available in PvAI, PvP and Custom Match. The PC Open Test will also introduce Perks for the first time, a new system that will replace Gear Stats. Players can pre-load the PC Open Test on Uplay PC starting September 4th by visiting here.

Coming free for all players as part of the For Honor: Marching Fire update, launching October 16, Breach Mode is a strategic 4v4 PvP match which allows players to live the fantasy of storming or protecting a well-fortified castle. Attackers must work together to storm the castle gates and kill the commander of the castle, while defenders must either take down the battering ram or kill all attackers to protect the commander.

The PC Open Test will be the first time players will experience some of new Marching Fire’s  free graphical enhancements including the Victory Celebration Screen, a new responsive dialogue system, Team Voice Chat, and UI changes. The Victory Celebration Screen will celebrate the winning team of each match by showing off those players’ customizations and stats. They will be showcased with special poses at the end of each match. The PC Open Test will contain the default pose, while new and more varied poses will be available at the launch of Marching Fire.

The new responsive dialogue system brings the Heroes to life through an immersive speech realization system. Characters will now interact with one another through short dialogues based on their personalities and the context of in-game situations.

Seasoned warriors who own the For Honor base game can now pre-order the Marching Fire expansion for $29.99, available as a digital edition only. The expansion grants access to Arcade, the new PvE mode that pits the player against challenging waves of enemies with different objectives, and, at launch, will immediately unlock the four new Heroes from the new Wu Lin faction (the Tiandi, the Jiang Jun, the Nuxia and the Shaolin), with exclusive access for two weeks before they are available to be unlocked by all players using in-game Steel. Players who pre-order the Marching Fire expansion will receive the Wu Lin Elite Pack, which includes 1 Elite Outfit for all Wu Lin Heroes, worth 28,000 Steel (a $25 value).

All players will be able to recruit the new Wu Lin Heroes using in-game Steel after the initial early access period, as well as play the 4v4 castle siege mode, “Breach”, for free. Additionally, all players will benefit from free graphical enhancements that will improve the in-game textures, introduce a revamped lighting system and new sky gradients and also provide further quality of life improvements including an updated user interface and a new responsive dialog system.

For those who do not own For Honor yet, The For Honor: Marching Fire Edition, which includes the base game and the Marching Fire expansion, will be able for pre-order on September 4 for $59.99.
