Currently, the game has nearly 190,000 followers on Twitter. Since release, For Honor has had a large presence online across many different social platforms and communities. The main antagonist of the story is a warlord named Apollyon who believes the three factions have grown weak, so she creates an age of “all-out war” by manipulating each faction to fight with their neighbors. In the campaign, players learn that a natural catastrophe called the Cataclysm wiped out many civilizations and resources from the world, forcing these factions into desperation and conflict as they struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic setting. In addition to the multiplayer component of For Honor, there’s also a rich singleplayer campaign consisting of several missions that explain the origins of the world/conflict and the backstory for the various factions. Currently, there are 26 different characters to choose from, and many of them are available with male or female genders.
Within each faction, there are player characters called “heroes” that can be customized with a large array of gear, abilities, ornaments, effects, executions, shaders and more, similar to classes found in many online shooter games.

Development of the game began way back in 2012, but For Honor was first announced at Ubisoft’s 2015 E3 press conference with a CGI trailer and a gameplay demo.
