In For Honor, a new feature is coming: Duel tournaments with a ranking system. Starting next week, these can be tested.
Even in the “Year One” plan for For Honor, Ubisoft announced tournaments and ranked matches. Now there are finally concrete details about it.
Duel tournaments are coming. Before these are integrated into the live game, they should first be thoroughly tested by the community to fix any potential errors in advance.
- The public test servers for the duel tournaments will start on June 29. All PC players can participate. This testing phase ends on July 4.
Ubisoft points out that during this phase, only the duel tournaments will be tested – which likely means that there will be other tournament modes.
Note: A few weeks ago, there was information that after the public test servers, a beta for the tournaments is supposed to take place. In it, players will likely be able to try out the new feature on all platforms.
What are duel tournaments?
Ubisoft introduces the duel tournaments briefly. It is a new feature that is supposed to make the next step in terms of competitive gameplay. It should change the way you play For Honor.
A ranking system serves this purpose: everyone starts at zero, and only the best pave their way to the top, where they will be crowned champions.
When you start a tournament, the journey begins with a qualification. In a pool of players, you must first prove yourself worthy to reach the playoff phase. Only one player ultimately takes the victory, but all players receive rewards based on their performance. The further you advance, the better the loot – with the best stuff being exclusive to the champion.
How does the ranking system work?
You play 20 qualifying matches. Depending on your performance, you receive a rank: From Bronze (lowest rank) to Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond (highest rank).
Further divisions ensure a more balanced gaming experience: each rank is divided into five divisions.
You rank up by playing tournament matches. This is how you move up – or down.
Information about the tournaments
A complete tournament lasts between 30 to 90 minutes. The time depends on the number of players, which ranges from 4 to 32.
Anyone who leaves a tournament early (rage quitter) will face penalties. They will not be able to initiate matchmaking for an hour and will be downgraded in their rank.
All progress and rewards you achieve in the public test will be lost after the test phase. Additionally, Ubisoft warns that bugs and glitches may occur during the tests.
