Prepare for war. For Honor’s Closed Beta begins in January, giving you an opportunity to don the mantle of a Viking, Knight, or Samurai and battle your foes in new multiplayer experiences. To help up the ante, For Honor is also introducing War of the Factions, in which your faction allegiance impacts a persistent fight for supremacy between For Honor’s Vikings, Knights, and Samurai.

In War of the Factions, all multiplayer victories (as any hero) will contribute towards your declared faction and its global leaderboards. Entering the Closed Beta automatically enrolls you in War of the Factions, and all participants will receive a special in-game reward, with the winning factions earning additional in-game rewards to be revealed at a later date. Want to be a part of it? Sign up here for a chance to turn the tide of war and help your faction reign supreme.

For Honor is scheduled for release on February 14. For more information on the game, check out our previous coverage:
