Ubisoft is giving PC gamers a reason to revisit For Honor. The medieval fighting game is now available for free as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations, and players can add it permanently to their Ubisoft Connect library. The promotion is available until September 28.
Unlike a free weekend or temporary trial, players who claim the game during the promotion can continue playing it after the offer ends.
For Honor is a competitive third-person fighting game built around close-range combat. It features warriors inspired by different historical factions, including Knights, Samurai, Vikings, Wu Lin and Outlanders.
Each warrior has different weapons and fighting styles. The game’s combat system also makes it different from a typical action game. Players can attack, block and parry from three directions, requiring them to watch their opponent and react to incoming attacks.
There are several multiplayer modes, including 1v1 duels and 4v4 battles, along with different maps, events, and other multiplayer activities.
The giveaway also comes at an interesting time for For Honor, as Ubisoft continues to support the game a decade after its release. The latest Year 10 Season 3: Blood Hunt update introduces a new ranked mode aimed at competitive players. It features seven ranked tiers, with five divisions in each tier, along with cosmetic rewards for players who climb the rankings.
The update also makes competitive combat changes, including the removal of the parry indicator. This puts more focus on reading attacks and reacting to opponents during fights.
With the latest season already available, new players are also getting access to the current version of the game rather than an abandoned multiplayer title.
PC gamers can claim For Honor through Ubisoft Connect before September 28. After claiming it, the game will remain in their library.
There is one important restriction for players using Linux. Ubisoft recently ended support for For Honor on Linux, citing cheating concerns. This also means Steam Deck users should not expect the game to work through the device’s standard Linux-based setup.
