Previously, Ubisoft revealed the success of the open beta, stating that it had been downloaded 3 million times. It is important to note, though, that the progress during the beta will not be carried into the final release. According to Express, the player's records will be wiped out once the game is fully launched as per schedule.
"For Honor" is the latest multiplayer game being offered by Ubisoft. It is a combat game that will feature samurais, knights and Vikings.
In a recent interview, Ubisoft creative director Jason VandenBerghe talked about their decision to use the three warriors.
"Knights represent, I think the protector belief right? It's a reason to fight. People who believe in protecting the weak and standing in the way of harm, right? Sort of, defending the defenceless. People who choose Vikings they tend to believe in passion and living life to the full, sort of the fearlessness. Then some people who choose Samurai tend to believe in mastery, in the devotion and devotion to perfection knowing that you can't achieve it," he told IB Times UK.
