Get into For Honor with the cheap yet unlocked Starter Edition

If you have been eyeing For Honor, Ubisoft's action brawler that pits vikings, samurais and knights against each other, but have been worried about the price tag then boy do we have great news for you. Ubisoft has released 'For Honor Starter Edition', which is only available on PC via Steam and Uplay. This Starter Edition is much cheaper compared to the Standard Edition of the game and technically has everything that the Standard Edition offer, just at a higher cost in-game.

For Honor Starter Edition will cost you Rs 899, which is a lot cheaper than the Rs 3,499 that you have to pay for the Starter Edition. This move is surely going to boost the game's sale on the PC platform.



You get three fully unlocked and customisable heroes when you buy the Starter Edition. These include - Warden, Raider, and Kensei. Subsequently you are given three more heroes once you choose a faction. Now comes the difference between the Standard and Starter Edition. While in the Standard Edition you can recruit these heroes for mere 500 Steel (in-game currency) each, in the Starter Edition you will have to shell out 8000 Steel per  hero. You also have the ability to recruit the 12 heroes added to the game since launch but again at a higher price.There is an option to buy the All Heroes Pack for 50,000 Steel as well.

The Starter Edition is compatible with the season pass and existing add-on content.

Participate in the For Honor dedicated server open testing and win bonuses, even if you do not own the game!

Ubisoft announced that all players, including those who do not own the game , can take part in the first 'Open Test' of the new For Honor dedicated servers infrastructure from December 14th at 13:00 UK time (6:30PM IST) to December 18th at 01:00 UK time (6:30AM IST) on all available platforms (Xbox One, PlayStation 4 & PC). The Open Test for dedicated servers is the next step in bringing the new online infrastructure to the game in 2018. Participants will also receive bonus in-game rewards based on their participation and can also be entered in a raffle to receive exclusive For Honor rewards.

The Open Test will take place on a custom test client fully relying on dedicated servers. Participants will be able to use the full roster of heroes in 1v1 Duel, 4v4 Dominion and 4v4 Tribute modes. Those who are interested in participating can pre-load the test client for free on all available platforms starting December 13th at 13:00 UK time. All in-game rewards earned from participation in the Open Test will be granted to the players’ main game accounts after the event, and will carry over for new players who purchase the main game. Full details on the rewards for participating in the Open Test can be found on the For Honor website: www.forhonorgame.com/opentest .

The transition to dedicated servers is an improvement eagerly awaited by fans and a major milestone in Ubisoft’s continued support on For Honor. Since the game’s launch, the development team has made over 30 updates to the game, including the release of six new Heroes, six new maps, new modes, ranked play, additional customisation options and more.

“The team has worked tirelessly on the implementation of dedicated servers, while at the same time reinforcing and improving the current online infrastructure. This has already led to a better online experience for our players,” said Stéphane Cardin, Senior Producer at Ubisoft. “By participating in our Open Test, players will help us deliver the best experience possible at the official launch.”

In For Honor players embody warriors of the three Great Factions – the bold Knights, the brutal Vikings and the deadly Samurai – fighting to the death on intense and believable melee battlefields. The Art of Battle, the game’s innovative combat system that puts players in total control of their warriors, allows them to utilise the unique skills and combat style of each hero to vanquish all enemies who stand in their way.
