The offensive team has a battering ram they must protect as it breaks down the two gates standing between them and the enemy commander’s throne room. One side tries to break into a castle and kill the commander inside, while the other side tries to fight them off. The game’s other major new addition is Breach mode, which in my opinion is the best thing Ubisoft has ever put in the game. While I’ve been less impressed with some of the individual Wu Lin fighters compared to the best of past expansions like the Gladiator and Shaman, overall I they’re a more diverse and balanced package than ones in past DLCs. He’s a good example of how the game’s growing cast continues to build it out in new directions rather than just reskin existing archetypes. Which stance he’s in will affect the speed and direction of his next attack, making it possible to chain together flurries of bashes that can be as confusing to defend against as they are difficult to pull off. He’s a monk who fights with a wooden staff and can shift in and out of stances between attacks.
In keeping with the game’s evolution, they hew less closely to standard archetypes.įrom what I’ve played so far, though, Shaolin is by far my favourite. There are four in total-a vanguard called Tiandi, an assassin called Nuxia, a heavy called Jiang Jun, and a hybrid called Shaolin. The Wu Lin are warriors who hail from medieval China. Whether you decide to buy the DLC or not, anyone returning to For Honor or playing it for the first time this week is getting access to a much-improved game. That includes Breach mode, the game’s best new addition, changes to the character customisation system, and other new tweaks.
#FOR HONOR PATCH NOTES UPDATE#
The only way to unlock this mode is to buy the expansion.Īll of the other changes to the game in this latest update are free and open to everyone, whether they buy Marching Fire or not. If you’ve ever played the arcade mode in a fighting game, it follows a similar structure.
Marching Fire also includes a new Arcade mode, which is basically a way to grind against computer opponents in quick succession for experience and loot. On October 30, players who didn’t buy the expansion can spend in-game currency (15,000 steel, or about $US15 ($21)) to unlock the faction. The $US30 ($42) Marching Fire expansion gets you access to the game’s new Wu Lin faction, which includes four new heroes. What you need to pay for (and everything you don’t) While I’d love to simply wax poetic about my favourite new Wu Lin warrior and share a few anecdotes from the most recent battlefields I’ve killed and been killed on, there’s too much in the new update not to break it down piece by piece. Months of thoughtful balance patches, a steady flow of new characters, and the occasional addition of entirely new modes have improved the overall package from what originally launched.įor Honor was already good then, and though it’s still not perfect, it’s easier to recommend than ever. For everyone else, there’s an overhaul of the game’s graphics, as well as the introduction of its best competitive mode yet.įor Honor originally released in February of 2017, but it’s never been as good as it is today. For those willing to pay, there are four new fighters. While some of the changes it brings can be quite granular, when taken as whole it offers a substantial refresh of Ubisoft’s 20-month-old medieval brawler. For Honor’s Marching Fire update went live this week.
