For Honor was originally billed as an out-and-out multiplayer title, with players battling through hordes of lesser foes in order to enter tense duels with other skilled warriors. It wasn't too long, however, until developer Ubisoft Montreal introduced us to the game's single player offering. Boasting a "full story campaign", those who don't want to jump online to get their fix of medieval combat will be satisfied with the title's single player content. That's according to creative director Jason VandenBerghe in an interview with GameSpot - and yes, VandenBerghe is that super passionate bearded guy from Ubisoft's E3 press conferences.
"It's a full story campaign, a cinematic adventure where you will play as the knights first as the Warden, then you play as the Raider, then you play as the Orochi," VandenBerghe explains. He continues: "You'll play all through three different regions; the knights' homeland, the viking homeland, and the samurai homeland. You'll go on this great adventure." Sounds reasonably comprehensive to us.
"We built the campaign so that if you bought the game just for that, that you would be satisfied even if you never went online and played multiplayer. It's intended to be a full experience," the creative director concludes. Hopefully this turns out to be the case when the game launches in February 2017.

Decided to buy after single player was confirmed! Even more excited now!
Cool! Singleplayer > Multiplayer always!
oh yeah now I'm excited single player campaign forever๐๐๐
...I am getting this no matter what, but hearing about a strong single player game ups my anticipation tenfold.
As someone who vastly prefers single player this is good news, however I'll treat this with caution.
I'm more concerned that in addition to Titan fall 2, you can put single player as a selling point now.
I'm intrigued by this game, but other games have my priority at that time, particularly Zelda and most likely South Park in March. Kinda wish it was coming this year, but alas!
Single player???
OK, now you've got my attention.
I live in the country in the US. We have satellite internet where real time online games are not possible. Knights, Samurai and Vikings seemed like an amazing concept but when I heard it was multiplayer focused, I thought "great another battlefront situation here". Ever since hearing that it had a single player I have been devouring any content I can about it and this is pretty much the nail in the coffin for me. Did you know that the single player is also co-op splitscreen? Yeah... sad that that is a rare thing these days.
