For Honor
Today Ubisoft announced its the closed beta for its upcoming medieval multiplayer brawler, For Honor, is starting on January 26.
The melee-centric game pits knights, vikings, and samurai against one another in fights to the death. For the beta, Ubisoft is throwing a special, limited time event called War of the Factions that runs through January 29. "War of the Factions will track all multiplayer activities across all platforms from all players during the closed beta, and will reward players for fighting for their factions and honor the winning faction with additional rewards," the press release reads. "In addition to the War of the Faction rewards, players who participate in the closed beta will also receive rewards. Both sets of rewards will be transferred to the full game."
If you want to volunteer your sword for this event, you can register for the closed beta draft here.
For Honor is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on February 14.
