Ubisoft announced the For Honor Year 5 Season 3 release date today. Entitled “Tempest”, For Honor's next season will bring a slew of different in-game events and new content. For Honor Season Year 5 Season 3, Tempest, will begin on September 9, 2021.
For Honor Tempest Update Release Date: September 9, 2021
The official press release sets the scene:
“Tempest brings harsh torrential rains and cyclonic winds after a period of intense drought in Year 5 Season 2 Mirage. When Heathmoor’s warriors wished for water during the drought, the Gods answered – but not in the way the warriors wanted. Now, gigantic tidal waves wreck Heathmoor’s villages and harbors along the coastlines.”
The For Honor Year 5 Season 3 Tempest update will see the arrival of a time-limited launch event called “Storm Tides.” This event will enable players to play through a Free Event Pass and gain different rewards. This includes a new Battle Outfit, an Effect, and an Ornament. During this event, players can also loot a myriad of new weapons.
Additionally, a new Battle Pass with premium content will become available. This will contain Battle Outfits, Ornaments, Executions, Podiums and Effects. All heroes will also be recieving a new unique execution for 7,000 steel. Several reworks and improvements for Orochi, Raider, and the Dominion Game Mode will also arrive in the For Honor Year 5 Season 3 Tempest update. These improvements are the result of last season's feedback. Changes to the Dominion Game Mode include capture speed, hard point, tracking, and other UI and quality-of-life improvements.
Later on in For Honor Year 5 Season 3 Tempest, players will be able to experience the Wrath of the Jormunandr event. This is a re-run of the original event, and will come with the original's rewards and weapons. Additionally, Covenant Games will also return to TU2. Now, players will be able to play the Heralds of Chimera game mode. Players can earn a new Battle Outfit and Ornament from this event.
