Year 5 Season 4 Title Update 2.0 launched today, which introduces a new For Honor Pirate hero, simply called “The Pirate.” The Pirate is armed with a cutlass and a pistol, making them a formidable foe on land as they are at sea.

Meanwhile, the For Honor free-to-play weekend starts today, going through until January 31, Monday, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. Free weekend players will have full access to For Honor Standard Edition, which includes the game's story mode, all multiplayer game modes, 30 heroes, and 30 maps. Progression will be saved and can be carried over when players purchase the full version of the game, during and after the free-to-play weekend. If you're planning to try the game out, we suggest you play the story mode for a short while to gain your bearings and then spend the rest of the weekend joining the chaos in multiplayer.

The game continues to be popular in spite of being a niche title, leading to Ubisoft announcing Year 6, which starts on March 17. For anyone who's just jumping in, don't worry about the game being abandoned and dead. For Honor's community has shown enormous support and loyalty to the title, and this game still has a lot of years under its sleeve.
