When multi-faction PvP games come out, it always feels as though you are being recruited for some sort of specialized street gang. Whom will you fight for? Which will come to define your identity and create in you an unbearable hatred for all of the other gangs?
Ubisoft’s upcoming multiplayer title For Honor has three such groups courting you for your combat prowess: knights, vikings, and samurai. Each group really, really doesn’t like each other, and even after a massive cataclysm, they’d rather be at each other’s throats than work together to rebuild society and latte-dispensing coffee shops.
While there is a PvE storyline in For Honor, the meat of the game is clearly its several PvP modes, including 1v1 duels, 4v4 death matches, and 2v2 brawls in “vivid, larger-than-life battlefields.” Currently the game is in beta testing with an eye on February 14th, 2017, as its release date. It’s a buy-to-play game that will come out on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
