The E3 is approaching and Ubisoft seemingly has big plans for the action game For Honor. There are even hints of new hero classes. All of this makes it clear: Ubisoft continues to plan with For Honor, even in 2018.
The upcoming patch for For Honor kicks off Season 6. While this brings a new map that centers around a Japanese castle, there is nothing new regarding classes.
However, the heroes Orochi and Peacekeeper will receive updates. In addition, equipment graphics will be applied to the items in a separate menu, which saves you space in your inventory. So far, so good. Ubisoft is still taking care of For Honor.
New Heroes for For Honor
However, apparently the company is pursuing plans to make For Honor an important game, which is aligned with the Game-as-a-Service trend. Because Roman Campos-Oriola, the Creative Director of the game, stated that fans can look forward to the upcoming E3. At the gaming convention, Ubisoft wants to reveal more details regarding the future of For Honor.
Specifically, it is mentioned:
- New content
- Brand new heroes
- An improvement of the player experience
For Honor Could Be Important for Ubisoft
While many fans have already written off For Honor, as the peer-to-peer connections made online play difficult at launch and little fun was had, this has since changed. Ubisoft never gives up on its own games that quickly.
This can also be seen with Rainbow Six Siege. A game that started with moderate success has developed into a hit and an important pillar for Ubisoft.
Similarly, the company intends to handle For Honor in the same way. The dedicated servers have significantly improved online matches and the player numbers are reportedly looking good according to Ubisoft.
With further additional content such as new heroes, Ubisoft could strive to keep For Honor interesting for players for a long time and make the title an important Game-as-a-Service product for the company. More information about future plans will be shared at E3.
