The game also features an Arcade Mode, a single-player and two-person co-op feature that sees combatants facing off against swarms of AI enemies in randomly generated scenarios. Because the campaign is split across three main cultures (Knights, Vikings and Samurai), so too is the story split between three corresponding chapters: The Warden Story, The Raider Story and The Orochi Story. The campaign follows the story of the villainous warmonger Apollyon's attempt to create a race of bloodthirsty warriors by inciting wars and weeding out the weak from the strong, a plan that brings multiple realms and races into conflict with one another. Aside from the game's training modes, For Honor offers its own campaign, which can be played solo or via two-player co-op. With so many game modes from which to choose, however, it can be tough for novices to get a handle on everything the historical hack-and-slasher has to offer.ĭespite being a predominantly multiplayer-focused affair, For Honor does cater to the single-player market as well. The fact that Ubisoft Montreal is continuing to provide the game with patches, updates and events certainly implies a degree of faith in the project, and with For Honor set to head to Xbox Game Pass in the near future, there's never been a better time to don one's armor and jump into the fray. Regardless of the game's odd mix of styles, it's gone on to be a success for Ubisoft, still boasting an active community of players and content creators, not to mention some very respectable sales figures. For a studio so strongly associated with open-world adventure titles such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Watch Dogs, it was a striking change of pace to see Ubisoft putting its name on an over-the-top historical slugfest that seemed to cross Call of Duty with titles such as Chivalry or even Dark Souls.
Released in 2017, For Honor was something of a departure from the norm for French publishing titan Ubisoft.
