Hey Warriors!

Spectator Mode Beta launched today! With whichever console, you can now use Spectator Mode to exclusively spectate your friends! Here are the biggest updates:

• Breach matches can now be spectated. (The controls are the still the same; Tactical Cam, Free Cam and Player Cam.)
  
• Matches now start in Tactical Camera. So that you can immediately get a sense of what your team is doing, then do as you please.
  
• Player selection has been improved, both for controllers and keyboard + mouse.
  
• Stance Indicator is now visible when in Player Camera.
  
• Spectators can watch the same player between rounds of Duel, instead of going back to the default one every round.
  
• Player outlines are hidden when User Interface is hidden.
  
• The size of Player information panels has been increased (when in Spectator Mode only).
  

Many players in the Twitch chat asked:

• Can I spectate a player who isn’t a friend? Answer: No, you can only spectate your friends.
  
• Is it possible to prevent being spectated by others? Answer: Yes, but only in custom matches. (But again, only your friends can spectate you to begin with).
  

Got some feedback? Or just more questions? Share them on this Reddit thread so that we can continue improving the new feature



From November 15th to the 18th, aim to be the Faction with the most ranked matches.



An eerie new quest awaits...

“Ryoshi, town leader of Kaidan, was sentenced to death for murdering his family. As his demise has brought a strange curse upon the village, you are sent to root out the evil there.”






From November 14th till the 21st, Kill Card is on sale at 4,000 steel instead of 7,000! Woo! Jump on that!

With a new season comes a new monthly roadmap! Here’s what November will look like on For Honor!



For Honor November Roadmap


As you can see, Spectator Mode Beta will launch next week! We’ll go over everything you need to know about Spectator Mode on next week’s Warrior’s Den, so be sure to tune in.





From November 7th till the 14th, be the faction with the most Executions performed.



A new quest awaits for the Zhanhu. Are you up for the challenge?

“Past. Present. Future. Life. Death.

There is no beginning or end; all is a cycle. One can master it to achieve eternal life.

Will you challenge us to become immortal?"




In the new map, Qiang Pass, breach the gates and kill their Commander, or guard the gates and protect yours!

This breach quest is available from November 7th till the 14th.




We got new white materials for all heroes this week, available for 10k Steel.

Finally the moment you've been waiting for! Who truly deserves the title of Big Mike?

Our Warrior's Den hosts wanted to try out the new heroes in an epic 1v1 matchup. The Zhanhu move gracefully across the arena, making dodges and parries a critical part of play. It seems Big Mike was no match despite dominating during practice session.

Klarissa had to step in, and while it was an extremely close match-up, she ultimately fell to Mike's blade.

Hit us up on Twitter if you want to see more Battle of the Mikes in the future!
