The pirate joins a brand new group of heroes: The Migratory Birds, set the stage for For Honor Year 6 beginning March 17!
Ubisoft announces that For Honor Year 5 Season 4 – Title Update 2.0 will be released on January 27th. Along with this, a new playable hero archetype will be added: the pirates.
Armed with their iconic cutlasses and pistols, the Pirates are the first of the Migratory Birds, an all-new band of heroes to arrive from far-flung horizons. Additional migratory bird heroes will be added to the game during For Honor’s Year 6: Lost Horizons, beginning March 17th.
The pirates have targeted Heathmoor after a series of dramatic climate changes have taken their toll on their home archipelago. The water is the only home they know, and no ship, port or warrior is safe from their ferocity. Bold and fierce fighters, they have developed their own fighting style, taking on enemies from across the seas. Armed with their razor-sharp cutlass and unique pistol, they attack their foes with ruthless style. They apply continuous pressure by combining the pistol with heavy attacks that stack up. Fiercely loyal to one another, they will ally with anyone who can help them – and will fight anyone who stands between them and their prey.
Starting January 27th, players can purchase the new Pirate Hero for $7.99, part of a bundle that includes the new Hero, an exclusive ornament, an Elite Outfit, 7 days of Champion Status, and three Scavenger Chests. Also, starting February 10th, the pack can be unlocked in-game for 15000 Steel. Coinciding with the arrival of the brand new heroine, there will be a free event pass offering exclusive rewards. Additionally, new seasonal armor variants will be available for all heroes starting on day one of the update.
The pirates inaugurate a new group of heroes: the migratory birds. They come from all over the world outside of Heathmoor and have nothing to do with existing factions. Each migratory bird has different reasons for joining the fight in For Honor. These heroes will continue to expand the variety of weapons and combat styles available in the game, and now includes thirty unique heroes. There is more information about the migratory birds here.
