For Honor is getting dedicated servers and a new 4v4 PvP game mode
New For Honor content releases and improvements are in the works along with dedicated servers.
Ubisoft announced dedicated servers will be made available "further down the road" today, along with two seasons coming to For Honor this year.
The company passed along the current development schedule, which is as follows:
Dedicated Servers – The development team at Ubisoft Montreal is currently working on a dedicated server infrastructure. In conjunction to the dedicated server implementation, enhancing peer-to-peer stability and matchmaking remain priorities for the team.
- Two New Seasons – In August and November, For Honor will receive new season updates, introducing adjustments to the way players fight on the battlefield. Content from each of these seasons includes new heroes, maps, gear variations, gameplay updates and more. All season pass owners will receive early access for the new heroes released during the season. Further details will be revealed at a later date.
- New Game Features – Competitive play with a duel tournament feature and ranked 4v4 matches, as well as a brand-new 4v4 PvP game mode, will be added to For Honor in the coming months.
- New Training Mode – A more robust training option for both new and veteran players to hone their skills before heading to the battlefield.
- Global Balancing Updates – Building on the updates since launch, For Honor will receive more changes aimed at balancing heroes and game modes. Some of these changes will improve elements of the fight system to make attacking more advantageous while putting more pressure on defence. All these changes will be tested via public test environments on PC with the first test starting today.
If you head over to the Ubisoft Blog, creative director Roman Campos-Oriola discusses the For Honor roadmap, along with how the team at Ubisoft Montreal is taking community feedback into account with these upcoming features.
