That Ubisoft’s action fighting game For Honor is still receiving new content 8 years after its release is something few probably expected. But that is exactly what has happened – and Steam is offering the game at a bargain price.
What kind of game is this? For Honor is an action fighting game by Ubisoft. The setting is a fantasy world where warriors from different cultures battle each other. At launch, it was knights, Vikings, and samurai who fought in the story campaign and several multiplayer modes.
For Honor was released on February 14, 2017. The game is therefore already over 8 years old, soon it will even be 9. Year after year, new seasons are introduced that bring fresh heroes into the game. Now several Chinese characters, an Aztec warrior, and even pirates have joined the cast.
Here you can see a gameplay trailer for the current season in For Honor:
What does this bargain look like now? For Honor is regularly offered at very low prices. However, it hasn’t been this cheap for a long time:
The Standard Edition is available on Steam for only €1.49. This includes 14 heroes. The Gold Edition for €5.99 offers instant access to 20 heroes, while the Ultimate Edition for €8.99 has even 26 heroes.
To play For Honor, you need a Ubisoft account. You must link this with your Steam account. If you want to avoid the detour, you can purchase the game directly from the Ubisoft Store: There, the editions cost €1.50, €6, and €9 each.
For Honor continues – despite difficulties
The fact that For Honor is still running is a small miracle: After a strong launch, the player count seemed to dwindle, but the then community developer labeled this as “fake news”.
Within the last 24 hours, For Honor had a peak of around 6,500 concurrent players on Steam (according to steamdb.info, as of December 23, 1:21 PM). This is likely also due to the new season: Year 9 Season 4 just started recently on December 4, 2025.
It is important to note that players on consoles and those who did not purchase the game via Steam are logically not counted in the Steam statistics. The actual number of players is likely higher – high enough to justify more content.
The longevity of For Honor is also surprising, as Ubisoft does not always handle its service titles so leniently. For example, the first-person shooter XDefiant was killed after just one year, and the end of The Crew sparked a whole movement. At least with the sequel of the racing MMO, it should be different: Popular racing MMO is not expected to suffer the same fate as its predecessor and will continue to live on even after the servers are shut down
