Review For Honor - Medieval Brawler Comes Out Swinging
'Tis but a scratch
Republished on Wednesday 30th January 2019: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of February's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows. The back and forth of a mano-a-mano sword fight rarely gets encapsulated effectively in video game form, and even the likes of Nioh or Dark...
News For Honor Is Crossing Blades with Assassin's Creed in Special In-Game Event
For the Creed
Ubisoft is a publisher that isn't shy about merging its games together in fun ways. We recall references to Assassin's Creed cropping up in other mainstays like Watch Dogs and Far Cry, but this latest example is perhaps the most direct crossover yet. A special, three-week event has just begun in medieval combat game For Honor, and it...

Staying sharp
Ubisoft's really trying to push For Honor back into people's good books.

News Ubisoft Isn't Giving Up on For Honor Yet, Dedicated Servers Planned
War eternal
When we look back over the year so far, it's hard to think of many reasonably hyped games that managed to fall off the radar faster than For Honor. The medieval action-fighting hybrid was met with favourable reviews and a decent amount of public interest, but it was quickly picked apart and largely left behind by a community that wasn't...
News Tekken Producer Talks About How For Honor Compares to Fighting Games
Fight the good fight

News For Honor's Single Player Campaign Lasts Around 6 Hours
Sliced and diced

Axe us about the game at a later date
Ubisoft has indicated to the media that For Honor review code will not be unlocked until the game's publicly released on 14th February.

Hands On Slashing Samurai and Killing Knights in For Honor
Does Ubisoft's hack-'n-slasher earn its place in Valhalla?
It's hard to believe that, for a company that's been around for more than 30 years, Ubisoft doesn't have a huge catalogue of hack-'n-slash games. For those complaining about the French publisher's perceived lack of varied output, For Honor should represent a drastic change from its usual...

A tale of swords
Ubisoft's keen to let people know that upcoming medieval mash-'em-up For Honor has got a single player campaign, as evidenced by this latest cinematic trailer.

New heroes may still cost you, though
There was a kerfuffle earlier this week when it was revealed that For Honor - Ubisoft's medieval slash-'em-up - would require a constant internet connection to play.

News For Honor Spilt-Screen Co-Op Cut Completely, Not Just From Online Play
Cleaved in two
Earlier today, news broke that upcoming medieval brawler For Honor has dropped support for split-screen play, although comments made by producer Stephane Cardin made unclear whether he was referring to online co-op only. Sadly, as it turns out, the worst-case scenario is upon us, in that split-screen is being cut from the game...

News For Honor's Single Player Campaign Won't Disappoint, Says Developer
Alone on the battlefield
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.

No guts, no glory

This is where three warriors come across one pool of water, and although they could share it, a brawl ensues because of pure greed. These initial three fighters go on to form the...
News Sharpen Up with Three More For Honor Gameplay Trailers
Adding to the ranks
We hope that you like trailers, because For Honor's got three more of them. Showcasing a trio of new character classes from each faction, the relatively short clips do a good job of explaining what each warrior is about. Above, you can get a look at the Orochi - a Samurai swordmaster who's also keen on using a few ninja...
News For Honor Takes a Swing with Three New Gameplay Trailers
We could be heroes

Hands On Taking a Trip to the Dark Ages with For Honor on PS4
Look, Mom, no UbiTowers!
Ubisoft is one of those studios that seems to have been content for the past few years to churn out billions of decent but unexceptional sequels in big franchises like Just Dance, Assassin's Creed, and Far Cry. This is fine, but the studio has shown through games such as Child of Light and Grow Home that it's also fully...

A clash of titans
After a lot of dancing and prolonged talking on stage, we were relieved to see that Ubisoft unveiled what's been going on with For Honor.

E3 2015 For Honor Will Cut You and Your Mates Apart
Swing that sword, baby
Today (or tonight depending where you live,) Ubisoft gave us all a rather pleasant surprise by starting its E3 conference with a brand new IP titled called 'For Honor.'
