FOR HONOR SEASON 5 – WHATS NEW
Dedicated Servers
It's been a long wait but they're finally here. After a lot of hard work, the For Honor team is happy to announce the implementation of Dedicated Servers in Season 5 Age of Wolves. It wil be deployed on all PvP game modes and enhance the experience for all warriors. Dedicated servers will be released on PC on February 19 (date subject to change), while release on console is expected at a later date.
Major Hero Updates
After listening to community feedback, both the Kensei and Conqueror movesets have been updated with new moves and animations to increase their efficiency on the battlefield. In addition, some major balancing updates have been made on the Berserker, Nobushi and Highlander.
Global Fight Changes
In an effort to lower the prevalence of defensive behaviour in PvP combat, the team has also updated the fight system for players to aim for a more offensive mindset. Turtles beware!
