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!
