For Honor Season 2 Adds New Heroes, Maps, Gear

Arguably the biggest additions in this second season will be two new brawlers: the Centurion and Shinobi.

Ubisoft's surprisingly awesome multiplayer action game For Honor will kickstart Season 2 on May 16, with the "Shadow and Might" event offering a stack of new content including heroes and maps. The Shinobi will be a class that relies on movement and speed and the Centurion is Knight Hybrid who thrives at swordplay at close range. Both characters will be available to Season Pass holders starting on May 16, and everyone else can purchase them with Steel starting on May 23. The rest will have to unlock them by spending precious in-game or real-world currency. It will be interesting to see how the community reacts to these new purchasable characters. They are highly skilled fighters because they have spent a lifetime of training.

The second season of For Honor will be getting underway soon.

Besides, the update also brings Epic gear, "a new level of gear rarity'". May 16 also marks the reset of the faction war.

Need more For Honor content in your life? Ubisoft has been reacting though, issuing some big updates since launch.

Will For Honor Season Two start to turn things around for the game? We'll find out next month.

It's going to follow the same kind of system Ubisoft settled on with Rainbow Six: Siege.

At the end of the first season a new update (1.06) will also be available on Windows PC to improve network stability while introducing new game options and some novelties in the hero balance. Imagine blowing $60 on a.

The Shinobi (Samurai Assassin) are silent killers armed with the traditional Japanese Kusarigama.

The two new characters are the Shinobi, a Samurai Assassin, that wields the traditional Japanese Kusarigama, and the Centurion, a Knight Hybrid, who is equipped with a gladius and is created to bypass enemy defences.
