The PC Standard Edition of Ubisoft’s For Honor® Available Free August 2 to 9 on Epic Games Store
SAN FRANCISCO — August 1, 2019 — Today, Ubisoft announced that the PC Standard Edition of For Honor, the action-packed visceral melee combat game with more than 20 million players, will be available for free on Epic Games Store from August 2 until August 9. All DLC content will be available for purchase when the free version of For Honor launches on August 2nd and the additional full versions of the game will be available soon on the Epic Games Store.
Today is also the launch of Year 3, Season 3, which features Jormungandr, a new feral warrior who is part of the Viking Faction of For Honor®. Owners of the Year 3 pass will be immediately able to play as the Jormungandr starting today at 12pm PT, while all other players can gain access to the new Hero on August 8 at 11am PT for 15,000 Steel.
The Jormungandr are Viking sectarians who wear their devotion to the Great Serpent, after whom they are named, on their scarred bodies. Led by Hulda or Gretar, respectively the female and male version of the New Hero, the Jormungandr aims at crushing the weak before Ragnarok comes, as they believe only the most worthy must remain for the Great Battle. Wielding their mighty War Hamarr during fights, they cull their opponents with their powerful attacks.
All players will have the chance to wield their weapons on a new Breach map, the Viking fortress of Storr Stronghold, included in this Season. Following in the footsteps of previous gameplay updates, Year 3 Season 3 also further balances the roster with new Hero updates to the Nobushi, Shinobi, Orochi, and many other Heroes.
For those looking to receive seven days of exclusive access to new Year 3 Heroes at the time of their launch, along with other additional rewards, the Year 3 Pass is now available and is included in the For Honor Complete Edition.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal in collaboration with other Ubisoft studios,* For Honor offers an engaging campaign and thrilling multiplayer modes. Players embody warriors of the four great factions – the bold Knights, the brutal Vikings, the deadly Samurai and the fearsome Wu Lin – fighting to the death on intense and believable melee battlefields. The Art of Battle, the game’s innovative combat system that puts players in total control of their warriors, allows them to utilize the unique skills and combat style of each Hero to vanquish all enemies who stand in their way.
