Ubisoft For Honor (Gold Edition)

Ubisoft is bringing the new IP For Honor to consoles and PC at an undisclosed date. The concept, reminiscent of Deadliest Warrior, along with the focus on melee combat, is already building excitement. At the heart of For Honor are three medieval melee classes: the Knight, the Samurai, and the Viking, all of which will engage on the same objective-based battlefield. Each fighter class has its own unique abilities, weapons, and advantages that players can utilize against one another.

The gameplay and combat initially resemble the Musou genre, mixed with AI waves in a MOBA style. However, it seems that combat control and finesse will take a much higher priority when dueling another player. The Art of Battle control scheme allows players to use the right stick to control sword fighting and choose which side of the blade to strike or block with.

For Honor will undoubtedly have a multiplayer focus, as it has been announced that it will be team-based (with at least one mode being 4v4), where players will fight for control points on the battlefield. Players will likely run back and forth between points on the battlefield, defeating AI in a Musou style along the way, and engaging in several duels at interesting locations. The gameplay video indicates that players will experience a form of permanent death at a certain point in the battle.
