 For Honor Free Weekend Begins, Season Six Arrives May 17

FREE WEEKEND BEGINS, SEASON SIX ARRIVES MAY 17

SYDNEY, Australia — May 4, 2018 — Today, Ubisoft announced that For Honor^® Season Six, Hero’s March, will launch simultaneously on current-gen consoles and Windows PC on May 17. Launching as a free update, Hero’s March will bring a brand new map, major Hero reworks, a new Visual Collection feature, and more. Newcomers to For Honor interested in getting a taste of the game ahead of Season Six can take advantage of the Free Weekend featuring recently launched dedicated Australian servers, starting today May 4 until May 7 on all platforms.

New content coming includes:

New Map: One new map, the Beachhead, will expand the battlefield. The Beachhead will be available to all players for free and playable in all multiplayer modes except Tribute. Once a grand fortress of solitude and respite, it remains a picturesque view from afar and is a desirable stronghold for any army hoping to sway the odds of battle in their favor.

Major Hero Reworks: In the wake of Season Five’s Hero updates and positive feedback from players, For Honor will continue to improve and harmonize the current roster as two Heroes – the Orochi and Peacekeeper – will receive major gameplay updates with Season Six. More Heroes will receive similar updates in the future as the development team continues to prioritize game balancing.

The Visual Collection: This new feature will allow players to track all visuals they have obtained and then apply them on any gear they have in a separate in-game menu. This will help reduce the need to hoard gear for the reason of simply keeping visuals in one’s inventory, and also directly address player feedback about the lack of inventory space.

“We’re happy to see players react positively to our recent For Honor updates, which included the launch of dedicated servers and extensive Hero balancing changes, as well as new onboarding features,” said Roman Campos-Oriola, creative director of For Honor. “In addition to improving the core experience, we are also working on new content, including all-new Heroes; tune in during E3 2018 to learn more!”  Following the introduction of the all-new training mode, the implementation of dedicated servers, and other updates, which have brought significant improvements to the player experience, the For Honor team has been dedicated to making the game more stable, accessible, and engaging for all players. To learn more about the development team’s vision for Season Six and beyond, please visit: http://forhonorgame.com/season6.

Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios,* For Honor offers an engaging campaign and thrilling multiplayer modes. Players embody warriors of the three Great Factions – the bold Knights, the brutal Vikings and the deadly Samurai – fighting to the death on intense and believable melee battlefields. The Art of Battle, the game’s innovative combat system that puts players in total control of their warriors, allows them to utilize the unique skills and combat style of each hero to vanquish all enemies who stand in their way.

Destiny 2 Warmind Reveal

Destiny 2 Warmind Reveal

Launching on May 8, Destiny 2 Expansion II: Warmind continues your Guardian’s journey with new activities, new weapons and gear, more endgame content, and an all-new story.

Warmind features an all new Raid lair offering players great rewards, a new Hive faction and brand-new endgame ritual, Escalation Protocol where players will fight escalating waves of enemies and slay challenging bosses right alongside their friends. There will also be new weapons, armour and gear to earn.  

If you missed Bungie’s Warmind Twitch Reveal Stream, you can watch it here and read the recap below.

Warmind- Reveal Stream Recap

Summary: Players learn about Destiny 2’s Warmind expansion, including new activities, a new campaign, and a new story to tell

Cast:

• Deej

·         Brent Gibson, Game Director, Vicarious Visions

·         Evan Nikolich, Partner Design Lead, Bungie

·         Ben Wommack, Design Lead

·         Jacob Benton, Design Lead

·         Cozmo, Community

·         Kevin Yanes, Designer

·         Josh Hamrick, Sandbox Design Lead

·         Jon Weisnewski, Senior Sandbox Designer

Content:

• Destination: In Warmind, players will journey to Mars, where Rasputin has awoken, setting off a system-wide chain of events. The polar ice caps are melting, uncovering a time capsule in Rasputin’s birthplace. Warmind will introduce Ana Bray, a new hero that players will encounter. She will serve as the vendor and will allow players to learn more about Clovis Bray

• Escalation Protocol: Warmind introduces a new endgame activity that players will want to return to again and again. Escalation Protocol features many characteristics of traditional public events, however it can be started at any time rather than running to a schedule and anyone can join.
  • The event starts by activating a pillar that rises up out of the ground which draws the Hive in
  • The event plays out in seven waves, each with a boss fight, culminating in one final unique boss fight
  • There are five unique final bosses that will rotate each week in five-week rotations
  • New items/tokens will be available which can be spun to get special weapons. These will be needed to complete the activity
  • One notable new item is the Valkyrie, a magical rocket launcher that destroys all. It is both a melee and a ranged weapon
  • Players can earn rewards that are specific to this activity
  • Escalation Protocol is very challenging, so be prepared to be put to the test!
  • Players must complete Warmind’s campaign before they can activate Escalation Protocol

• Crucible: Two important features are coming to Destiny 2 in Season 3; Crucible ranks and Private Matches
  • Crucible ranks will provide a choice of two ranks which will dictate how you play:
  • Valor rank involves progression over time with no penalty for dropout
  • Glory rank is much more difficult and is attached only to competitive playlists. Progression is tied to results, so it improves if you win and decreases if you lose.
  • Each rank includes streak bonuses
  • Crucible rewards change in Season 3, with two amazing new emblems and an entire slew of new rewards
  • There will be one specific weapon to chase each season
  • Season 3’s notable weapon will be Redrix’s Claymore, which includes the new Desperado perk. This increases the rate of fire without lowering impact
  • Private Matches are back! They are similar to those players will remember from Destiny 1 but with some awesome improvements

o    There are two new maps – Solitude and Survival- which require Warmind ownership in order to use in private matches

• Sandbox: Exotic weapons are being tweaked to improve the experience with each weapon – everything will be stronger, faster, and better!
  • Most exotics have been levelled-up in areas such as damage, time-to-kill and rate of fire
