Keep in mind For Honor, Ubisoft’s vikings-vs-knights-vs-samurai multiplayer melee recreation? It has been a while since we final gave it a glance, however listed here are a few issues about it that you simply would possibly discover helpful at present: One, sure it’s nonetheless operating (and has truly added a pair of further factions, the Wu Lin and Outlanders), and two, it is free to play for every week.
For Honor is a hell of a factor. It was revealed in 2015, appeared fairly good when it launched in 2017, and really rapidly tanked. Six months after it launched, we took an in-depth have a look at the place all of it went incorrect: It wasn’t fairly a eulogy but it surely was awfully shut, noting that regardless that Ubisoft was making an effort to show issues round, the sport had taken such a battering by that time that “it’d already be too late” to put it aside.
And but that is precisely what occurred. Six years later, For Honor’s common concurrent participant rely on Steam alone bounces across the 3,000 mark, which is not dangerous for a recreation this age and solely a part of the overall: For Honor can also be on Epic Video games Retailer, Ubisoft, and consoles. It is a good comeback story, and a modest however much-needed vibrant spot for Ubisoft.
Which brings us to the purpose. For Honor is having a free week, which truly started yesterday (July 27) and runs till August 3. The free week covers the total recreation and is accessible on all platforms and PC storefronts worldwide, with a handful of unlucky exceptions that modify by platform.
When you have an particularly good time bashing skulls and smashing faces and wish to keep on along with your brutish habits previous the free week, you can too decide up For Honor on a budget proper now: It is on sale for 80% off on all editions on Steam and Epic.
