This week, Ubisoft celebrates For Honor’s fourth anniversary by announcing For Honor’s Year 5: Year of the Covenants. Following four years of continuous content updates and improvements, Year 5 brings an additional year of content to the game while continuing the narrative arc that began in Year 4. The Year of the Covenants will officially kick off on March 11, and more information on Year 5 Season 1 will come at a later date.
The content roadmap for the upcoming year includes four themed seasons bringing new customization items, two new Heroes – with one Hero to be released during Year 5 Season 2 and another to be released during Year 5 Season 4 – as well as in-game events offering players new ways to enjoy the game and a Battle Pass for each season. More details for Year 5 will be revealed in a Warrior’s Den Livestream today at 5:00 PM UTC on the For Honor Twitch channel at twitch.tv/forhonorgame.
In addition, For Honor introduces an in-game crossover with Yacht Club Games’ Shovel Knight, available now for all players. Players can dig into Shovel Knight-themed content including a Shovel Drop Emote and 3 Illustrious Outfits, each featuring Ornaments, Mood Effects, Symbols, and more. The Emote will be available for 10,000 Steel, and the Outfits will be available for 15,000 to 20,000 Steel each; all items can be purchased via the in-game store from now until March 4th.
Launched in February 2017, For Honor will now enter its fifth year of post-launch support. With a roster of 28 Heroes – including the recently launched Gryphon – as well as seven multiplayer modes, a story campaign, and an unlimited PvE mode, For Honor offers a variety of content for those looking to storm the battlefield. With more than 25 million players, For Honor is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One consoles, Windows PC, and Ubisoft’s subscription service, Ubisoft+*. For Honor is playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility.
