For Honor – 12 Heroes Battle Across 5 Multiplayer Modes at Gamescom 2016
For Honor has hit Gamescom 2016 with the force of a steel-clad fist, revealing the 12 playable heroes and five multiplayer modes that you’ll be able to carve into when the game launches on February 14. There’s something for everyone here, from heavy brawlers and massive battles to fast, offense-focused operators and one-on-one duels. And you might even be able to play early, if you qualify for the Closed Alpha running from September 15 through 18.
In addition to the story-driven campaign – which covers all three factions’ perspectives – you’ll be able to batter and slash your way through five multiplayer modes. The centerpiece is Dominion, a four-on-four battle for territory in which you’ll need to hold control points and push back your opponents’ weak but relentless rank-and-file troops to own the central battlefield in each stage. Communication and teamwork are vital here, as is keeping an eye on your opponents and going after the territories they’re not holding. Once your team controls all three points, the match enters a “breaking” phase, in which the losing team stops respawning. If you can eliminate all four players before they can reclaim a point, your team wins the round.
Smaller but no less brutal are Brawl, a two-on-two mode in which teams win rounds by killing off their opponents, and Duel, which pits two players against each other in a no-distractions game of counters, parries, and quick deaths. Skirmish, meanwhile, is a four-vs.-four team deathmatch-style mode in which players score points with kills, and Elimination is a four-on-four match in which nobody respawns and the last player standing wins the round for their team.
The full For Honor experience won’t be available until Valentine’s Day, but if you’d like an early taste, you can visit www.forhonorgame.com to sign up for a chance to play the Closed Alpha, which will run from September 15 through 18 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
