For Honor Year 8 Begins On March 14

For Honor announced that its Year 8, Forged in War, starts on March 14 with the first of four new seasons. Each season will tell standalone stories focused on special weapons unique to one of For Honor’s factions. Year 8 will also bring two Converted Maps – non-Dominion maps that are being reworked to gradually deepen the game’s pool of Dominion maps – with the first, Cathedral, coming in Season 1 Title Update 2. Additionally, Year 8 will bring two new Heroes, Hero Skins, game modes, and more.

Season 1, titled The Sword of Ashfeld, will tell a story focused on the Knights and a legendary sword, Valor’s Edge. Passed down from an empire of Knights that stood mighty before the Cataclysm, it’s now carried into battle by its last wielder, the Unsung Knight – first glimpsed in For Honor’s 2016 CG story campaign trailer – who fights to protect the weak and appears as a new Skin for the Warden. Stories centered on the weapons of the Samurai, Vikings, and Outlanders will follow with each successive season in Year 8.

In Forged in War, the Unsung Knight will be available on March 14 for 25,000 Steel and arrives alongside the Last Hero Standing launch event. This event introduces a new game mode and a survival-themed makeover for the Canyon map—both of which are inspired by the Unsung Knight’s moment in the trailer and the fight between the Raider, Kensei, and Warden—as well as the return of the original menus, War Map, and (remastered) music.

Last Hero Standing, the new game mode, is a 1v1v1 free-for-all in which the first player to win three rounds wins the match. The game mode will be accessible only through matchmaking in a solo queue and will be available from March 14 until April 4.

Players can also expect new Battle Passes, which will be joined by the Legacy Pass, a new feature for Year 8 that enables players to purchase or continue previous Battle Passes in chronological order.

Forged in War will also feature three Hero Fests for the Warden, Centurion, and Peacekeeper on April 4, April 11, and April 18, respectively. During Hero Fests, one Hero is available for players to try for free for a week and to purchase at a discount.

For Honor recently celebrated its 35-million-player milestone, but those who have yet to purchase the game will be able to grab it in new Standard, Gold, and Ultimate Editions – all featuring bold new key art – which include 14 Heroes, 20 Heroes, and 26 Heroes.

For Honor is available now for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Connect.

For Honor: Year 8 Season 1 – The Sword of Ashfeld Launch Trailer
