CONTENT OF THE WEEK

We’ve got new emotes for all heroes this week for 7,000 Steel each!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykBT0OCTPFE

You can catch the full livestream and more exciting coverage in our Twitch collection of highlights.

Warriors, you've been making it clear: you wanted more ways to creatively and brutally end the lives of your opponents. We understand where you're coming from, and each hero now has a new execution available for 7000 Steel.

If we had to highlight one execution, it seems only right that it would be Shugoki's "Kinjite." A deceptively simple one-handed throat crush. Never forget that Shugoki's heftiness is 100% muscle.

From today until January 28th at 3PM EST, compete with the other Factions to win the most Ranked matches and take the best rewards!

• 1st Place: 4 XP Boosts
  
• 2nd Place: 3 XP Boosts
  
• 3rd Place: 2 XP Boosts
  

A Weekly Quest for Arcade Mode players:

"We are the Guardian of the Sacred Claviger, beseeching humility and harmony. Rogue members have rejected their duties.

A Guardian's life is forfeit when the oath is broken. Deliver these lost souls to the Heavens."

You may also be interested in checking out the Patch Notes for Title Update 2.04, which will contain the new Black Prior hero, the Shugoki rework, and changes to Warlord and Peacekeeper. We can't wait for January 31st!

Hello Warriors! Our collaboration with Abstergo has now come to a close, and we return to our regularly scheduled For Honor Weekly Content.

We have a particularly intimidating new selection of ornaments available for all heroes. Skeletal creatures and horrifying beasts abound. Take a look at the above video if you're interested in what ornament is available for your main!



This weekend: Ensure your faction completes the most ranked matches in order to receive the more XP Boosts than your enemies!

• 1st Place: 4 XP Boosts
  
• 2nd Place: 3 XP Boosts
  
• 3rd Place: 2 XP Boosts
  

Arcade Mode players will have the chance to earn rare exclusive rewards in this week's Winter Solstice Arcade quest:

"A winter wind blows kind and strong.
Homeward bound, our journey's long.

Through ice and snow, we face a storm,
Myths of Old Man Winter's swarm."



Above is an early glance at the upcoming content and announcements for this month. The Vortiger reveal is coming on the 24th!

Greetings, Warriors! As the Year of the Harbinger grows ever closer, we have begun a three week "For The Creed" crossover with our friends at Abstergo. From December 20th to January 10th, the Animus Entertainment Experience (powered by Abstergo's cloud-based Helix software) is coming to the world of For Honor.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ES40y0zeX0



Our generous partners at Abstergo have allowed us the privilege of bringing you limited-time content for all Heroes.

• Relive the age-old conflict between the Assassins and the Templars with the "Champion of the People" and "Ruler of the Masses" Elite Outfits.
  
• Channel the legends of Ancient Greece with the "Odyssey of the Misthios" Mask Outfit.
  
• Seal the fate of your enemies with the "Requiescat in Pace" Execution.
  
• Defy gravity itself with the "Leap of Faith" Free-Roam Emote.
  

This content can be looted (with the exception of the Emote, Execution, and Mask Outfit), but can also be purchased in Bundles. Please keep in mind that all content will be unobtainable after the end of the event - but will be yours forever if you obtain it now.



To celebrate this collaboration with Abstergo, we've introduced a special variation of Dominion, dubbed "Assassini e Templari." There is no fall damage, and all drop attacks during the event will be air assassinations.

When your team captures the zone closest to your enemies' spawn, a commander will emerge to counter your advance. These commanders are Ezio for the Assassins and Cesare for the Templars. They have huge health pools and sweeping AoE attacks, so defeating them will be no easy task - but their death will bring your team 300 points closer towards victory.



The Event Order for Assassini e Templari will provide the following rewards:
1st Place: 1000 Steel
2nd Place: 500 Steel
3rd Place: 500 Steel



For our Arcade players, a Weekly Quest will be provided each week of this event! Please try out the Abstergo Training Simulation and let us know what you think. Abstergo tells us that your feedback will be crucial for their investigations!
