Ubisoft Aims to Prove How Far ‘For Honor’ Has Come With a Free Trial

The Month of May Brings XP Boosts for Every For Honor Player

I said I would do it, and here I am to bring you news of another free weekend trial. This time around, Ubisoft announced a free-to-play weekend event for For Honor, their acclaimed PvP combat experience. This promotional weekend will grant players access to over a year’s worth of updates.

In what is, undoubtedly, a renewed effort to show the world how far their game has come, Ubisoft will grant new players free access to five seasons worth of For Honor. While this does not include new character classes (as far as I know), this does include add-on maps and gameplay modes, not to mention For Honor‘s campaign that can be played solo or cooperatively online.

For Honor’s free-to-play promotional event kicks off next month, and it arrives alongside the re-introduction of the Warrior Training Program. What does this entail? It means veterans who accompany newcomers in PvP will be rewarded with two weeks of revamped Champion Status – A neat way of motivating cooperation between the hardcore vet and the so-called noob. Additional rewards come in the form of loot and XP for both parties.

Ubisoft’s free-to-play weekend kicks off on May 3rd, and it shall kick off with a special Twitch livestream at 9 a.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET. Tune in and view for an entire hour for 3 guaranteed scavenger crates. Additionally, every ten minutes viewing the stream enters you for a chance to win 100,000 Steel. More info can be found here. The weekend will then end on May 6th. However, before may 15th, any newcomers who decide to purchase the game shall benefit from a 75% discount across digital storefronts. A purchase lets players keep all their progress from the free-to-play weekend.
