Ubisoft is preparing to reveal a new For Honor hero this week. The latest fighter to join the game’s ever-growing roster will be unveiled during an upcoming Warrior’s Den stream.
This stream can be caught over on Twitch at 5PM GMT, January 20, 2022, and should give us an in-depth look at the hero’s design, lore, weapon, and moveset.
Ubisoft has confirmed that this latest addition to For Honor will arrive a week later on January 27, 2022, as we close out Year 5 Season 4.
What do we know about this new hero? The teaser video doesn’t give us a clear look, though they appear to be wielding a short sword – maybe a cutlass? There definitely seems to be a pirate theme to the new season as hinted at in the latest lore entry:
The people of Heathmoor were afflicted with rising waters and a devastating storm that flooded the landscape. Thankfully, the storm passed, and though the skies began to clear, a cold winter settled in. The high waters froze, and snow covered the terrain. Ships were stuck in the ice, which only added to the odd serenity that had befallen Heathmoor.
After so many hardships, so many battles and natural catastrophes, the people took this small respite as an opportunity to reconnect. After being separated for so long, friends and families were reunited once again, and everyone took the time to count their blessings, and celebrate. But amid the festivities, something unforeseen came from the frozen sea. A large ship with red sails reached the harbor, the herald of uncertainty – and intrigue.
Naturally, fans of the fighting game are already asking what comes next. For Honor is fast approaching its fifth birthday which raises questions as to whether we can expect a Year 6 roadmap loaded with fresh content.
The arrival of new heroes, maps, and modes has slowed over time. 2021 brought us the Kyoshin whereas 2020 saw Apollyon, and the wandering mercenary, Gryphon, make their debut. That said, the team at Ubisoft Montreal have been tirelessly looking to tweak and rebalance its sizeable cast of fighters, each with their own unique fighting styles. Hopefully the upcoming stream will give us a tiny glimpse of what to expect throughout the year.
