E3 2015: For Honor - What We Know So Far

Ubisoft For Honor Trailer
For Honor looks to take combat on the battlefield to new heights
For Honor is a new IP that premiered at E3, showcased by Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. The third-person melee combat game is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and PC.

For Honor will blend together speed, strategy and team play as you cause mayhem fighting as three great warrior legacies, Vikings, Knights, and Samurai. The game features an extensive multiplayer mode that will require you to master the ART OF BATTLE system that is promised to engage you into hyper realistic battles and conflicts.


The For Honor trailer was set on a historic battlefield, in a 4v4, 2 teams multiplayer mode called Dominion. One team was attacking certain zones of the map, while the other was defending. The ART OF BATTLE combat system was in full effect, with a heavy emphasis on positioning and defence when fighting. Each of your strikes in attack can be carefully planned as you are able to select which side to hit of your opponent via the right stick of your controller.

The team at Ubisoft Montreal have looked to implement strategic fighting that we haven't seen before. Although the presentation will draw comparisons to the Assassin's Creed series, big things are now expected after the For Honor debut at E3. Check out the trailer below.
