Before the release of For Honor, an open beta will take place. This is indicated in an email that mentions the launch date. Additionally, the beta received an update with version 1.02.
Update: The open beta has now been officially confirmed with its contents.
Just recently, the closed beta of For Honor ended. Those who had an access code were able to test the melee battles over the entire weekend and get an impression of the upcoming Ubisoft game.
Those who missed the closed beta are expected to get another chance to try For Honor before the release on 14.2. According to a “Twitch Prime” email, an open beta will be available, which will be accessible to all interested parties. The open beta for For Honor runs from 9.2. to 12.2.
A testing phase just before release
This “Twitch Prime” email was shared in the NeoGAF forum and outlines the benefits players will receive in For Honor if they are a “Twitch Prime” member. According to the email, Ubisoft and Twitch are entering into a partnership for For Honor.
Alongside the date for the closed beta, the date for the open beta is listed. Additionally, members receive in-game loot, 10 days of champion status, and an exclusive emblem.
Ubisoft has not yet officially announced an open beta, so these leaked details should be taken with a grain of caution. Nevertheless, they are considered likely. Ubisoft followed a similar plan at the launch of Rainbow Six Siege, where a beta started shortly before the release date.
Closed Beta – Update 1.02
Somewhat unexpectedly, an update for the closed beta appeared today. Although this is already over, update 1.02 has just gone live.
This update brings stability fixes, hero balancing, and bug fixes for matchmaking and the online experience.
On the PS4, it is a hefty 8GB in size.
