For Honor is getting a big mid-season update, bringing a new Hero archetype, a Throwback Event, and three Hero Fests. The Year 9 Season 2 Battle Pass and Year 5 Season 2 Legacy Pass will continue for the rest of the season, giving players a chance to earn those rewards.
The Virtuosa Hero, part of the Outlander faction, brings quick-witted charm and fast-paced gameplay to For Honor, letting players test their improvisation skills. Virtuosa, whose character name is Ilaria, was once apprenticed to the pirate Captain Coalheart, but grew tired of his bitterness and control. Now, after roaming the world as an adventurer and blade-for-hire, Virtuosa has come to Heathmoor to secure the treasure her former mentor seeks for herself. Years of fighting have honed her quick fencing skills, and Virtuosa's feats in battle are inspired by her expertise from years of fighting and her innate charm: Muscle Memory, Artful Improvisation, Superior Retort, and Rejuvenating Spirit.
Later this season, the Realistic Duel Throwback Event will run from August 28 to September 4. This event is a more brutal version of Duel, removing the Guard Stance Widget from play. Additionally, three Hero Fests, in which you can try a Hero for free for a week each, will take place throughout the season. Peacekeeper will be featured the week of August 14, Afeera the week of August 21, and Nobushi the week of September 4.
Don't miss out on Free Week, where you can experience all the new features at no cost. On consoles, Free Week will be available for one week from Thursday, July 24th to Thursday, July 30th. On Ubisoft Connect, free access to the Standard Edition of For Honor will be extended by a weekend and will run from July 24th to August 3rd.
For Honor is available 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.
