Hey Warriors,
Today our Warrior’s Den was heavily packed! It featured a Recap of Year 4: Year of The Reckoning, the S12 Event, and a very special announcement 😊
YEAR 4 RECAP
As you may have already known, last week we announced Year 4: The Year of Reckoning.
Here’s the recap:
- Each season will have its own theme, rewards, activities, and art from a renowned artist each season.
- There will be two new heroes – one at Y4S2 and the other Y4S4!
- We’re introducing a new reward system –with the For Honor Battle Pass.
- Improved Fight Core Experience: Emphasis on Testing Ground
- An All-Access Competitive Program will be launched.
- There will be new armor! (In Year 4, not this year, Y3)
More info will come out in January, but you can read more details here!
We’re super excited for Year 4 and we hope you are too!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: TRIALS RISING
We have partnered up with one of our games for a cross-over collaboration: FOR HONOR is in TRIALS RISING! The Raider skin is available in Trials—now you can also be legendary 😊 The Raider is part of the Season 4 content which is plenty interesting and worth checking out this season!

ARCADE WEEKLY QUEST: THE FALLOUT
“The emperor's order were clear; go back to Qiang Pass and retrieve the artifact. The explosion has left the palace in a terrible state and surviving Blackstone still roam it, slowly dying. Careful where you step.”
From December 19th to December 26th, retrieve the experimental weapon which altered the Blackstones in dark, unexpected ways…

- 1st Place: 2,000 Steel + Event Symbol

LIMITED-TIME GAME MODE: THE EMPEROR’S ESCAPE
From December 19th to January 2nd, help the Emperor escape Qiang Pass in a 4 player co-op against A.I! You can think of it as a hoard mode with progression, and with the more progress, the higher the difficulty.
Rules and How to Play:
- Get out of Qiang Pass with the Emperor, and at least one player, alive.
- If all players die, you lose.
- If the Emperor dies, you lose.
- Clear and capture zones to move forward (the Emperor stays behind in the last captured zone.)
- Enemies come from everywhere and continuously respawn.
- Capturing a zone respawns dead players.
- Cursed enemies, identifiable by their purple flames (from the chemical weapon), are stronger than normal enemies.
GL Warriors!
