For Honor hero and multiplayer details

Ubisoft has revealed new information about For Honor, including the 12 playable Heroes and multiplayer modes in the action game.

The Knight, Viking and Samurai legacies will each feature four true elite warriors, capable of making a major difference on the battlefield. In each faction, players will be able to choose among four different types of Heroes. Vanguards are well-balanced Heroes, with good attack, and defense capabilities and great versatility. Assassins are swift and lethal characters, great duelists with very good offense. Heavies are the most resistant Heroes, their attacks are slow but deadly. They’re especially efficient for defending a point and annihilating AI enemies. Finally, Hybrids mix elements and characteristics of other types. They are advanced characters fostering uncommon tactics.

For Honor’s progression is unique to each Hero, with select elements shared across PvE and PvP gameplay modes. At the end of each multiplayer match and each campaign mission, players are awarded XP that unlocks new combat abilities and new visual customization options. They also have the chance to loot armor and weapon parts on the battlefield, with specific stats allowing each player to adapt their gear to their playstyle.

For Honor’s multiplayer modes are playable with and against other players or bots in split-screen co-op on consoles. Dominion is a 4v4 objective-based mode in which two teams of four players fight for control of the battlefield. In Brawl 2v2, each team of two players need to kill the two enemy Heroes to win a round. Duel 1v1 puts two Heroes face-to-face in a fight to the death. Skirmish is a 4v4 Team Death Match like mode. Finally, in Elimination 4v4 mode, the last surviving player on the battlefield wins the round for their team.

For Honor will be available on February 14, 2017 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
