Ubisoft has announced the For Honor closed alpha will run from September 15th until September 18th. The announcement was made during Gamescom. Anyone interested in trying the game out can sign up for access on the game’s official website.
During Gamescom, Ubisoft detailed a roster of 12 heroes. They fall under three factions: Knight, Samurai, and Viking. According to a press release, they are “true elite warriors, capable of making a major difference on the battlefield.”
“For Honor embarks players in the chaos, fury and brutality of ruthless, visceral close-quarter combat featuring the brutal Vikings, the deadly Knights and the cold-blooded Samurai,” Ubisoft says. “In each faction, players will be able to choose among four different types of Heroes.”
Ubisoft also explained For Honor’s progression system. The system “is unique to each Hero, with select elements shared across PvE and PvP gameplay modes.”
“At the end of each multiplayer match and each campaign mission, players are awarded XP that unlocks new combat abilities and new visual customization options. They also have the chance to loot armor and weapon parts on the battlefield, with specific stats allowing each player to adapt their gear to their playstyle while ensuring fairness and balance in multiplayer.”
For Honor releases on February 14, 2017. It will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
