On May 4th, it was Star Wars Day (May the 4th) and around the world, the universe of Star Wars was celebrated. In For Honor there were even lightsaber duels, much to the delight of the fans.
This is what happened on Star Wars Day: To celebrate Star Wars with the fans, For Honor quickly brought lightsaber duels into the game.
The event was very well received by fans and led to some memes and cool moments.
How long did the event last? Unfortunately, it has already ended. It was probably only active on May 4th. There was a bit of confusion about this because the event was never really announced and no times were given.
Lightsaber Duels in For Honor
This is how the event went: In each fight, players’ weapons get a lightsaber look. Depending on which fighter you play, you also have dual weapons and short lightsabers.
There are blue, red, or green as colors, which are the most typical lightsaber colors.
But that’s not all. The typical sound effects were also added. So, in For Honor, it was possible to host real lightsaber duels.
How cool the event is can be seen in this video by Mc Chubbz:
Fans Want the Lightsabers to Stay
This is how the community reacts: The fans are very positive about the event. Many celebrate For Honor as the best lightsaber game currently on the market.
Many now wish that Disney, the owner of the Star Wars rights, would grant a license to Ubisoft. They should develop a Star Wars game in the style of For Honor.
Some fans hoped that the lightsabers would have stayed in the game a bit longer. For many, they could even be integrated as a permanent option in the game.
This is what Grimm_Reapah writes on Reddit: “Honestly, I would play this game all the time if it stayed in forever. There are really no good lightsaber games, except maybe Movie Battles 2.”
On Reddit, there are now tons of reports from players reenacting famous lightsaber duels from the movies. This funny image was also created:
In this, a famous dialogue from the duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker from Episode 3 is reenacted:
The players had a lot of fun with the event. Perhaps the lightsabers will return with the release of Episode 9 on December 19.
