For Honor Year 9 Season 2, Defiance, is out now, highlighting a returning 1v1 battle mode, Throwback Events, new cosmetics, and a new Battle Pass for Year 9 Season 2 and Legacy Pass for Year 5 Season 2.
A season focused on the art of single combat, Defiance will follow the fearsome Captain Coalheart and his crew aboard The Lonecrow as they attempt to steal the treasure of a lifetime after the Horkos leader, Vortiger, abandons his stronghold - but someone unexpected stands between him and his prize. The Canyon map is reimagined into a converted map with a new look to resemble a pirate treasure hideout, available for both Dominion and Duel game modes. The new season will also include updates on Defensive Dodge Properties in the Testing Grounds from June 19-26.
Defiance's launch event is Crashing Waves, running from June 12 - July 3, building on the season's pirate theme. The event will offer players The Lonecrow's Crew battle outfit, the Captain's Flag mood effect, and the Crimson Sea Coin ornament. The Captain Coalheart Hero Skin will also be available for the Pirate archetype. The Hyper Duel Throwback Event, a rapid-fire, first-to-four-wins 1v1 mode, is also set to make its return from July 10-17. Additionally, the Black Prior, Medjay, and Warlord will each be free-to-play for a week as part of their respective Hero Fests, and discounted for those who want to purchase them during the week.
For Honor is available today on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Ubisoft Connect, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, as well as with a Ubisoft+ Premium subscription.
