For Honor's medieval-style action mixing a wide array of unique fighting styles and striking visuals have made it a popular title among fans of the hybrid of action and fighting games. The game has received consistent updates over the nearly five years since its release with Ubisoft frequently introducing new characters to the four unique factions. Now, with the game's fifth year starting to draw to a close, Ubisoft recently released a new trailer teasing Year 5's final season dubbed 'Frozen Shores'.
For Honor's unique gameplay based on mixing elements of hack-and-slash games with one-on-one fighting games has carved out a unique niche among the fighting game community. The game has received frequent updates since launching in February of 2017 with its seasonal content cycle adding new Heroes, maps, and story campaigns based on its many different cultural inspirations. For Honor's most recent season, Tempest, added Halloween-based events and a new Samurai Hero, and the upcoming "Frozen Shores" looks set to take For Honor's action to the frozen north.
A recent trailer released Thursday on Ubisoft's official YouTube gives fans a taste of what they can expect out of presumably the final chapter of For Honor's fifth year. The trailer depicts an intimidating-looking pirate ship trapped amidst icy waters before panning out to give fans a teasing silhouette of a new character arriving to For Honor in the upcoming update. The 'Frozen Shores' update is slated to arrive later this week with an official release date of December 9th.
A 'Warrior's Den Recap' post released alongside the new trailer details some of the releases Ubisoft has planned for the thrilling conclusion of Year 5 of For Honor. The season will kick off on December 9th with a brand-new Battle Pass and the Frostwind Celebrations Christmas event with Testing Ground and a new Dominion Series to come later. A second major update during the season will come roughly around the halfway point with a brand new Hero, a staple of For Honor's year-ending seasons, and new Armor Variations coming on January 27th.
For Honor's popularity over its five-year lifespan has seen plenty of crossovers with other popular action and fighting games. For Honor's 2021 Halloween event added the Survivors of the Fog game mode as a collaboration with Behaviour Interactive's popular Dead By Daylight, and SNK previously featured For Honor's Warden in Samurai Showdown as a DLC character. With the popular action-fighting game quickly approaching the conclusion of its fifth year and its recent addition to Game Pass, For Honor will look to continue its trend of success as the game moves into its sixth year.
For Honor is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The Frozen Shores update will release on December 9th.
